Pakistan officially launched a military counter-operation called “Operation Bunyan-un-Marsoos” in response to India’s recent strike on Pakistani territory.
According to Pakistan’s state broadcaster and an official post by the Government of Pakistan on X (formerly Twitter), the operation has already begun, with confirmed attacks on several Indian military sites. The name “Bunyan-un-Marsoos” translates to “solid structure” or “impenetrable wall,” symbolizing Pakistan’s strong and defensive stance in the ongoing conflict.
Retaliation to Operation Sindoor
This military response comes just days after India carried out Operation Sindoor on May 6, targeting various locations within Pakistan. The Pakistani government said that their strikes are a direct answer to what they describe as an unprovoked attack by India on their soil, people, and sovereignty.
A statement from Pakistan’s leadership read, “These actions are being taken in response to India’s first attack, which was an assault on our land, people, and sovereignty.”
Key Indian Military Targets Hit
Pakistan’s army claims it has successfully destroyed a key Indian missile storage facility located in the Beas region. They also reported that all Indian air bases involved in the May 6 attack are now under fire as part of the retaliatory operation.
State-run Pakistan Television quoted military officials saying the strikes are happening simultaneously across several Indian airbases. It was further reported that Pakistani drones have been sighted over India’s capital, New Delhi.
Casualties and Civilian Impact
Islamabad has alleged that 36 Pakistani civilians, including children, have been killed due to India’s initial airstrikes and ongoing cross-border shelling. The loss of civilian lives has added further fuel to the already volatile situation between the two nations.
Conclusion
The military exchange marks one of the most serious escalations between the two nuclear-armed neighbors in recent years. With both sides reporting attacks and casualties, international observers are closely monitoring the situation, urging restraint and dialogue.
