India, Aug. 12 -- In a provocative and hostile speech laced with threats against India, Pakistan's army chief General Asim Munir reportedly hinted at targeting Reliance Industries Ltd's Jamnagar refinery in Gujarat, in the event of any future military confrontation. This marks the first time a Pakistani military leader has signalled an intent to strike India's vital oil infrastructure.

Addressing a private dinner gathering in Tampa, Florida, Asim Munir referred to a social media post featuring RIL chairman Mukesh Ambani alongside a Quranic verse, claiming he personally authorised it during a recent standoff with India "to show them what we will do next time," The Times of India reported.
