Pakistan accused India on Wednesday of planning an imminent military strike using a terror attack that killed 26 Indian tourists in the disputed Kashmir region last week as a "false pretext" to hit out at its neighbor.

Tensions between India and Pakistan have escalated further after a top Pakistani official claimed early Wednesday to have “credible intelligence” that New Delhi will carry out a military action against Islamabad within the next two days.

India's arsenal includes 9,743 pieces of artillery against Pakistan's 4,619 pieces, and 3,740 main battle tanks compared to Pakistan's 2,537. While India has 730 combat-capable aircraft, Pakistan's fleet is much smaller at 452 aircraft.
