Asim Munir Becomes Pakistan’s Most Powerful Military Leader

Pakistan’s Army Chief Asim Munir now heads all three defence forces and nuclear weapons as the country’s first Chief of Defence Forces.

Analysts say Munir wields power comparable to Pervez Musharraf, reshaping Pakistan’s military landscape.
