India Pakistan War News: Recently Pahalgam attack has raised concerns about the possibility of war between India and Pakistan. In this scenario, major cities of the two countries can be identified as a potential target, where there is a possibility of extensive destruction.
If the war broke out between India and Pakistan-which will be extremely disastrous for both nuclear-skilled countries-then determine which Indian cities Pakistan can first target, is a serious and sensitive matter. However, from a strategic point of view, Pakistan may potentially prioritize the following cities.
New Delhi
Is the capital and political center of India. In any major war, attacking the capital may be the primary strategy to disrupt the political and administrative system of the enemy.
Mumbai
Is the financial capital of India. The country’s main financial markets, stock markets and headquarters of many multinational companies are located here. The Mumbai attack was probably an attempt to shock India’s economy.
Amritsar/Pathankot/Jammu (Border City)
There are border cities adjacent to Pakistan. They can be the first target due to military bases and border posts. Pathankot Airbase has been aiming for terrorist attacks before.
Chandigarh
The administrative center of North India is (the joint capital of Haryana and Punjab) and is also important from the military point of view. The region serves as a logistics base for the Northern Military Command.
Jaipur/Jodhpur
Rajasthan has a border city and is strategically important due to its Air Force base.
Hyderabad/Bangalore
Hyderabad is an emerging defense and technology center in South India. India’s cyber defense, DRDO lab and aerospace institute are located in Bengaluru.
Efferry factor
Military bases and airports, capitals and administrative centers, economic and technical centers, communication and transport centers target these places.
In mind things:
India’s missile defense and air defense systems are very capable. Pakistan will have to consider India’s response capabilities before taking any major steps. Pakistan Railway Minister Hanif Abbas had threatened to use nuclear weapons against India after a recent Pahalgam terror attack, after which tension between the two countries increased further.
The nuclear war between India and Pakistan will cause huge damage to the major cities and military bases of the two countries, as well as a serious impact on the environment and human situation globally. Therefore, both countries need to make diplomatic efforts to reduce stress and maintain peace.
