India vowed not to give in to Pakistan's nuclear blackmail and said it was "regrettable" that the "nuclear sabre-rattling" had come from the soil of a friendly third country

Munir reportedly said in Florida that Pakistan could use its nuclear weapons to take down India and “half the world” in the event of an existential threat.

Field Marshal Asim Munir, the de facto military ruler of Pakistan, made a "crude analogy" by comparing India to a "shining Mercedes" and his own country to a "dump truck".
