Pakistani Foreign Minister Khawaja Mohammad Asif has warned India of "dire consequences" if India hits their nuclear installations in a surgical strike. This was Asif's response to Indian Air Force Chief BS Dhanoa's statement yesterday that if need be, Indian aircraft could "locate, fix and destroy" Pakistan's nuclear installations. "Yesterday, the Indian air chief said we will hit, through another surgical strike, Pakistan's nuclear installations. He was talking about Hatf-9 (Nasr) Short-Range Ballistic Missiles (SRBM) which are equipped with a tactical nuclear warhead (TNW) to be used in the battlefield only. On several occasions, Pakistan has said the TNW have been developed as to counter India rapidly mobilising troops and armour, and overwhelming Pakistan's defence and forces.
