Defence Minister Khawaja Asif has said that the possibility of a nuclear war between Pakistan and India is definitely present, and it can occur if there is a standoff between the two sides.

Speaking to Geo News in an interview, he said: “If they (India) impose an all-out war on the region and if such dangers arise in which there is a standoff, then at any time a nuclear war can break out.”

He further said: “If they (India) aggravate this [matter] then if a chance of war arises in which there is a sign of nuclear option being used on both sides, then the responsibility for that will be on India.”
