"Pak Armed Forces are fully prepared to respond to any aggression misadventure regardless of cost."
Terming Indian army chief Bipin Rawat's statement irresponsible, the spokesperson added that such acts are an expression of frustration due to New Delhi's failure in occupied Kashmir.

Pakistan rejects Indian army chief's claims of 'reactivating terror camp'
The Indian army chief – in another irresponsible statement – had alleged a day earlier that a “terror camp in Balakot had been reactivated and 500 militants were waiting to infiltrate India”.
Foreign Office spokesperson Mohammad Faisal rebutted the statement as baseless and added that New Delhi’s allegations of infiltration from Pakistan were a desperate attempt to divert international attention from the humanitarian nightmare in occupied Kashmir.
Responding to a question, Faisal said India would neither succeed in misleading the world through distracting tactics nor be able to hide its “unabated state-sponsored terrorism in the occupied Himalayan valley.
