Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif convened Pakistan's National Security Council on Wednesday to address recent missile strikes conducted by India on Pakistani territories. The high-stakes meeting included cabinet members and military leaders, reflecting the significant security concerns facing the nation.
Indian Armed Forces executed missile attacks on nine targets in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir as part of Operation Sindoor. This action followed a terror incident in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam on April 22, which resulted in the deaths of 26 individuals.
While the NSC discussions were extensive, no official decisions emerged immediately. Prime Minister Sharif is set to further deliberate with the cabinet later in the day, with plans to address the nation through parliament concerning the ongoing military tensions.
