Chief of Defence Forces (CDF) and Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir on Tuesday warned that hostile elements increasingly employ indirect and ambiguous approaches, including the use of proxies to exploit internal fault lines, rather than overt confrontation, according to the military’s media wing. In a statement, the Inter-services Public Relations (ISPR) said the army chief made the remarks during his visit to the National Defence University (NDU). It said the COAS-CDF was briefed by a panel of civil and military participants of ongoing National Security and War Course on their academic perspective about challenges to national security and imperatives for overcoming them.
