Islamabad: In a provocative message amid the ongoing tension between the neighbours over Pahalgam attack, Pakistan Minister Hanif Abbasi openly threatened India with nuclear retaliation. He warned that Pakistan’s arsenal – including Ghori, Shaheen, and Ghaznavi missiles along with 130 nuclear warheads – had been kept “only for India.”
Referring to India’s decision of suspending Indus Waters Treaty, Abbasi said if India dares to halt Pakistan’s water, it should “prepare for a full-scale war”. He declared that Pakistan’s nuclear weapons are not for display, and their locations are hidden across the country. He claimed Islamabad was ready to strike if provoked.

“If they stop the water supply to us, then they should be ready for a war. The military equipment we have, the missiles we have, they’re not for display. Nobody knows where we have placed our nuclear weapons across the country. I say it again, these ballistic missiles, all of them are targeted at you,” he said, as quoted by India Today.
He claimed that the nuclear weapons were aimed only at India and not any other country.
