Pakistan's army top brass warned on Friday that attempts to create a May 9-like situation or cause agitation will be met with decisive force and the rule of law, according to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR). The warning was issued during the 277th Corps Commanders' Conference at General Headquarters in Rawalpindi, which was chaired by Chief of Army Staff and Chief of Defence Forces Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir.

The forum reviewed the prevailing security environment and resolved that any attempt to create agitation on any pretext would be dealt with decisively without hesitation or discrimination, the ISPR statement said. Addressing regional security, the forum reaffirmed Pakistan's right to self-defence and targeted action against terrorism emanating from Afghanistan, stating that Taliban leadership facilitating terrorism on behalf of India bears responsibility for its consequences.

The commanders reiterated Pakistan's principled position on Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir, supporting a resolution in accordance with UN Security Council resolutions and Kashmiri aspirations. Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir hailed operational preparedness, directed commanders to strengthen intelligence-based operations and enhance combat capabilities, and expressed confidence that armed forces are fully prepared to safeguard national security.
