On February 26, 2026, Pakistan's Foreign Office reiterated its commitment to self-defense against security threats, particularly from militant groups in Afghanistan. Foreign Office spokesperson Ambassador Tahir Hussain Andrabi stated, "Pakistan will not hesitate to act in self-defense if threats persist," emphasizing recent intelligence-based strikes against terrorist hideouts in Afghanistan. He highlighted the need for the Afghan authorities to take decisive action against these groups, warning that continued inaction poses a serious risk to regional stability. The remarks come amid rising tensions following a militant attack in Balochistan, which Pakistan attributes to Indian involvement. Andrabi described India's response to the attack as "callous and irresponsible," asserting that Pakistan has "complete evidence" of India's role in supporting terrorism against Pakistan, a claim that India has consistently denied.
