ISLAMABAD, April 26, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Saturday said the armed forces were "prepared to defend the country's sovereignty" after Delhi accused Islamabad of being linked to an attack on tourists in Kashmir.

"Our valiant armed forces remain fully capable and prepared to defend the country's sovereignty and its territorial integrity against any misadventure as clearly demonstrated by its measured yet resolute response to India's reckless incursion in February 2019," Sharif said while addressing a military ceremony at army's academy in Abbottabad city.
