India's Prime Minister Warns Pakistan: Airstrikes Could Resume at Any Time
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has issued a stark warning to Pakistan, stating that recent airstrikes were only “temporarily paused” — and could resume at any moment if Islamabad fails to take meaningful action against terrorist groups operating within its borders.
“Pakistan must understand that the airstrikes are not over,” Modi said on May 12, referencing Operation Sindoor, India’s recent aerial campaign targeting what it described as terrorist infrastructure inside Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir. “The operation was paused only after Pakistan gave assurances that it would act against the terror networks and safe havens on its soil.”
This marks Prime Minister Modi’s first public statement since India and Pakistan agreed to a comprehensive ceasefire on May 10.
Modi stressed that India would closely monitor Pakistan’s actions in the coming days to determine whether Islamabad violates its commitments or distorts the terms of the ceasefire. “We are prepared to restart the campaign at any moment if necessary,” he warned.
“As long as terrorism exists, there can be no negotiations or trade,” Modi added, asserting that Operation Sindoor represented a shift in New Delhi’s counterterrorism doctrine. “We will strike swiftly and decisively — even when terror hides beneath a nuclear umbrella. The Indian military will no longer distinguish between those who carry out attacks and those who sponsor them.”
Pakistani officials have not yet responded publicly to Modi’s remarks.
India launched Operation Sindoor in the early hours of May 7, targeting nine suspected terrorist sites in Pakistani territory and Kashmir. New Delhi said the airstrikes were retaliation for a mass shooting near the town of Pahalgam on April 22 that killed 26 civilians. India accused a Pakistan-backed militant group of orchestrating the attack, a claim Islamabad has denied.
Pakistan's Defense Ministry said its forces shot down six Indian aircraft during the initial strikes, including three Rafale multirole jets, a MiG-29, a Su-30MKI, and a Heron drone. Over the following days, both sides launched repeated cross-border attacks.
On May 9, India struck several Pakistani air bases — including one just 10 kilometers from Islamabad. In response, Pakistan launched Operation Bunyanun Marsoos early on May 10, targeting Indian military airfields and claiming it destroyed a hypersonic missile storage facility in the city of Beas.
Nearly 70 people were killed and thousands displaced during the weeklong conflict, which ended when both nations unexpectedly agreed to a full ceasefire on May 10.
On May 12, senior Indian and Pakistani military officials held a hotline conversation to assess the truce’s status and confirmed there had been no violations that day. Both sides pledged to refrain from firing or offensive maneuvers and agreed to explore reducing troop presence in border areas.
Pakistan’s military spokesperson, Maj. Gen. Ahmad Sharif, reiterated Islamabad’s commitment to the ceasefire, stating, “We will never be the first to break the agreement.” Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif added that while Pakistan supports peace, the country “will never tolerate violations of its sovereignty.”
