Pakistan’s Economic Affairs Ministry claimed that its X account was hacked on Friday after a post appealing international partners for more loans amid rising tensions with India went viral. The ministry told news agency Reuters that it “did not tweet” it and was “working to have the X (account) switched off”.
The development came amid rising tensions between the two nuclear-armed neighbours over the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, in which 26 people, mostly male tourists, were killed.
