ISLAMABAD: Pakistan's Defence Minister Khawaja Asif on Wednesday issued a stern warning to Afghan Taliban, stating that they can test the resolve of Islamabad at their "own peril and doom", local media reported.
He added that Pakistan does not even need to use "a fraction" of its full arsenal to "completely obliterate" the Taliban and push them back to the caves for hiding, Pakistan-based Geo News reported.
In a statement shared on X, Pakistan's Defence Minister stated, "We have borne your treachery and mockery for too long, but no more. Any terrorist attack or any suicide bombing inside Pakistan shall give you the bitter taste of such misadventures. Be assured and test our resolve and capabilities, if you wish so, at your own peril and doom."
