A senior Pakistani official said India has lowered the threshold for future military action between the two arch-rivals, adding that India’s use of a nuclear-capable missile during the latest conflict has made the situation more precarious. “Now we then have about 30 seconds time to decide, off a grainy little image, this nuclear-capable missile — is it armed with a nuclear weapon? And how do we respond?” India has not officially declared its BrahMos missile to be nuclear capable and has a stated no-first-use nuclear policy.
