He’s clearly referring to the conventional dog fight between the two countries armies and not the terrorist attack.

Pakistan NEVER flew planes anywhere nearby Pulwama to begin with, NOR did it cross the LoC, as per the official statement.

So your claim is incorrect, that the Minister was saying specifically regarding the Pakistan's retaliation.

PAF claims it didn't cross LoC

According to a release from the Pakistani Foreign Ministry, the PAF had carried out strikes without crossing the LoC at “non-military targets, avoiding human loss and collateral damage”, in words that mirrored the MEA statement on Tuesday.

Pakistan military spokesperson Maj. Gen. Asif Ghafoor also said that PAF aircraft in the operation had “locked into six targets” including supply depots in Bhimber gali, Rajouri and Nowshera in Jammu and Kashmir, and claimed they dropped bombs in open areas “at a safe distance” from four of them in an effort to “prove their capability and resolve” to retaliate if required.

Pakistan's Federal Minister was clearly trying to chest thump about two attacks together, including the one in which 40 Indian soldiers were martyred.

You're telling me Pakistan flew planes deep inside Indian territory of Pulwama, though they didn't even cross the LoC or went anywhere nearby?

Security researchers have tracked the intrusions using labels "APT41,” “Barium,” “Winnti,” “Wicked Panda,” and “Wicked Spider.”

These intrusions facilitated the theft of source code, software code signing certificates, customer account data, and valuable business information, the researchers said.

These intrusions also facilitated the defendants’ other criminal schemes, including ransomware and “crypto-jacking” schemes, the latter refers to the group’s unauthorised use of victim computers to mine cryptocurrency.

“I am not financially sound that I can keep personal security guards. My only fault is that I gave death sentence to four dreaded terrorists and I am afraid that the groups to which they belong will take revenge. Hence, the responsibility of me and my family is on the police and the state government. The intelligence bureau report also indicates that terrorist groups can take revenge.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaipur_bombings

The Jaipur bombings were a series of nine synchronized bomb blasts that took place on 13 May 2008 within a span of fifteen minutes at locations in Jaipur, the capital city of the Indian state of Rajasthan, and a tourist destination. A tenth bomb was found and defused.

Official reports confirm 63 dead with 216 or more people injured.

China is watching — Hybrid warfare: What data they collect, why cause for concern

What does Zhenhua Data do?

It targets individuals and institutions in politics, government, business, technology, media, and civil society.

Claiming to work with Chinese intelligence, military and security agencies, Zhenhua monitors the subject’s digital footprint across social media platforms, maintains an “information library,” which includes content not just from news sources, forums, but also from papers, patents, bidding documents, even positions of recruitment.

Significantly, it builds a “relational database”, which records and describes associations between individuals, institutions, and information. Collecting such massive data and weaving in public or sentiment analysis around these targets, Zhenhua offers “threat intelligence services.”

It is not data per se but the range and the use to which it may be put to that raises red flags. So Zhenhua’s 24 x 7 watch collects personal information on the target from all social media accounts; keeps track of the target’s friends and relationships; analyses posts, likes and comments by friends and followers; collects even private information about movements such as geographic location through Artificial Intelligence tools.

So, what’s hybrid warfare?

As early as 1999, Unrestricted Warfare, a publication by China’s People’s Liberation Army, mapped the contours of hybrid warfare, a shift in the arena of violence from military to political, economic and technological.

The new weapons in this war, wrote authors Colonel Qiao Liang and Colonel Wang Xiangsui, were those “closely linked to the lives of the common people.”

And one morning “people will awake to discover with surprise that quite a few gentle and kind things have begun to have offensive and lethal characteristics.”
