Pakistan announces conditions for halting military operations

Pakistani Defense Minister Khawaja Asif stated the condition for a cessation of hostilities in an interview with Bloomberg.

He said that Islamabad does not plan to escalate the conflict with India if New Delhi stops the Sindoor military operation. The minister also added that Pakistan will not retaliate if India withdraws, otherwise the country will be forced to defend itself.

Additionally, when asked about the possibility of bilateral talks being held in the near future, Asif said he had no information on the matter.
