Pakistan's army chief pledged firm retaliation against future aggression while attributing victory in a recent border conflict to divine intervention. Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir told journalists that Pakistani forces operate under spiritual guidance and cited religious verses promising believers triumph over stronger adversaries.
The statements referenced confrontations between the nuclear-armed neighbors that resulted in downed aircraft and cross-border strikes. Pakistan launched large-scale operations targeting military installations after initial attacks, with hostilities ending through American mediation. The government subsequently elevated Munir's rank for his wartime leadership.
Munir received confirmation that his tenure will reset following appointment as Chief of Defence Forces, with Law Minister Azam Nazeer Tarar announcing a five-year term. The field marshal called for prayers supporting national advancement while reaffirming dedication to constitutional responsibilities.
