New Delhi:<\/strong> A recent report from the US Department of Defense reveals that Pakistan views India as an "existential threat," while India considers Pakistan a less prominent security issue. This information comes from the Defense Intelligence Agency’s annual assessment of global threats.<\/p>\n According to the report, the Pakistan Army is expected to continue modernizing its military capabilities, which includes developing battlefield nuclear weapons. The document states, "Pakistan sees India as a significant danger and is likely to enhance its military advances to balance India\u2019s conventional strengths."<\/p>\n Furthermore, the report mentions that Pakistan is modernizing its nuclear arsenal and ensuring the security of its nuclear materials. It is believed that Pakistan may obtain weapons of mass destruction (WMD) components from foreign suppliers.<\/p>\n In addition to military modernization, the report emphasizes that cross-border skirmishes with regional neighbors will remain a top priority for Pakistan’s military in the coming year. The Pakistan military is also grappling with rising attacks from the Tehrik-e Taliban Pakistan and Baloch nationalist militants.<\/p>\n Despite ongoing military operations, the report cites that over 2,500 people were killed in terrorist incidents in Pakistan during 2024. <\/p>\n Moreover, the US report identifies Pakistan as the primary beneficiary of China’s economic and military assistance. It notes that foreign technology and materials supporting Pakistan’s military are likely sourced mainly from China.<\/p>\n However, a new concern has arisen. Attacks on Chinese workers associated with the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor projects have strained relations between the two countries, with seven Chinese nationals reportedly killed in Pakistan in 2024.<\/p>\n The Defense Intelligence Agency, which focuses on military intelligence, also addressed ongoing conflicts in the region. This comes in the wake of a terrorist attack that killed 26 tourists in Jammu and Kashmir, prompting Indian forces to carry out missile strikes on terrorist-related infrastructure in Pakistan. The situation has escalated into multiple rounds of missile launches, drone operations, and artillery shelling from May 7 to May 10.<\/p>\n As tensions continue to simmer between India and Pakistan, the implications of the US report underscore the ongoing complexities in the region’s security landscape.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" US Report Highlights Tensions Between India and Pakistan New Delhi: A recent report from the US Department of Defense reveals that Pakistan views India as an "existential threat," while India considers Pakistan a less prominent security issue.
