Pakistan national day: Military display amid standoff

The president said the country desired peace in the region but warned the quest for peace is not a sign of weakness.

Pakistan has been showing off its military might as part of national day celebrations.

Regional tensions between India and Pakistan remain high following last month’s suicide attack in disputed Kashmir that left dozens of Indian soldiers dead and escalated into a major standoff between the two nuclear-armed powers.
