After India’s precision strikes under Operation Sindoor destroyed nine terror camps in Pakistan and PoK, killing over 80 terrorists, Pakistan Defence Minister Khawaja Asif appeared to backtrack from his earlier threats. He said, “If India backs down, we will definitely wrap up these things,” marking a shift from his previous warning, “Either we survive or no one does.” The strikes came in response to the brutal Pahalgam attack.
