Pakistan being subjected to 5th-generation warfare in massive way but we are aware of threats: DG ISPR

Maj Gen Babar Iftikhar, the chief of the military’s media wing, has said that India is engaged in a massive campaign of ‘fifth-generation warfare’ to obstruct Pakistan’s road to prosperity mainly through targeting the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) and Pakistan’s international image. Appearing in a wide-ranging interview on Global Village Space published on Thursday, he termed misinformation campaigns against Pakistan on social media as a “major challenge”, but said the country was countering these through transparency and putting out credible information. “Unfortunately, it’s a major onslaught, it’s a major part of the fifth-generation warfare. Pakistan is being subjected to hybrid applications in a massive way and we are aware of that,” the Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR) director general said.
