LAHORE: Pakistan army chief General Raheel Sharif today warned that any "misadventure" by any "adversary" will meet the "most befitting response", a day after India conducted surgical strikes on terror launch pads across the LoC.

"The highest state of vigil is being maintained along the Line of Control, Working Boundary and the international border," General Raheel said.

"Any misadventure by our adversary will meet the most befitting response," he said while talking to troops at a newly developed Combat Reaction Training facility near Lahore Garrison.
