These days Pakistan is facing surgical strikes by American and UN forces. American and UN forces are continuously attacking the Northern Areas of Pakistan which they claim that it were used by terrorists. Most of the time civilian die in these surgical strikes. Pakistan Army and Government are just silent spectators to these events. There is no defense strategy against these surgical strikes.
Now India is also planning surgical strikes in Pakistan after the Mumbai incident. But can they really do it when they have no reliable long range missile, we hope they don't fire any missile on their heads like they normally do in their missile tests.
