Last week, the Pakistan army announced the successful conclusion of Operation Bunyanum Marsoos, a large -scale retaliation operation launched on May 10, 2025, in response to mortal Indian attacks against Pakistani civilians during the night of May 6 and 7. The operation was part of the broader conflict that “Marka-O-Haq” described.
According to the LT of the ISPR DG, General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry, Pakistan’s response implied the use of al-Fatah missiles, precision air attacks, murderous drones and long-range artillery, aimed at 26 Indian military facilities through Jammu and Kashmir (Iiojk) of long-range Indians.
The key sites included Srinagar, Jammu, Adampur, Sirta, Pathankot and S-400 systems, as well as intelligence and logistics centers accused of supporting terrorism within Pakistan.
The fire was reached after the intervention of US President Donald Trump, stopping a greater escalation between the two nuclear weapons states.
The ISPR highlighted the coordination of tri-services of the operation through air, earth, sea and cybernetic domains. He also praised the media, scientists, political leadership and the nation for unified support.
Cybernetic war operations were also carried out to temporarily disable Indian military networks.
Pakistan’s army accused India of simultaneously feeding terrorism in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Baluchistan during the conflict. The statement concluded with a warning that Pakistan’s response to any future aggression would be “integral and decisive.”
