Pakistan responds to Indian aggression, targets key military sites
Islamabad: In a decisive response to ongoing Indian aggression, Pakistan has launched a retaliatory operation in the early hours of Saturday, officially naming it Operation Bunyān-un-Marsoos.
According to Kashmir Media Service, the Operation Bunyan-un-Marsoos began with the launch of Pakistan’s Al-Fatah missile, dedicated to the memory of the innocent Pakistani children martyred in recent unprovoked Indian attacks. Security sources emphasized that Pakistan will never forget the sacrifice of these children.
As part of the operation, Pakistan has successfully destroyed a BrahMos missile storage facility in the Beas area—reportedly used in earlier strikes against Pakistan. Additionally, the Udhampur Airbase has been neutralized, and the Pathankot airfield has been rendered non-operational, sources confirmed.
As part of the operation, all bases identified as launch points for attacks on Pakistani civilians and mosques are being specifically targeted. Multiple strategic targets are being engaged simultaneously as the operation progresses.
In the ongoing operation, India’s brigade headquarters at G-Top has also been destroyed. Additionally, the supply depot in Uri has been successfully targeted and destroyed, further disrupting Indian military logistics.
Adampur Airfield—identified as the launch site for missiles fired at Sikh-populated areas in Amritsar, as well as at targets in Pakistan and Afghanistan—has been destroyed in the ongoing retaliatory strikes.
Moreover, an Indian artillery gun position in Dehrangyari has been destroyed as part of the ongoing operation. Security sources further confirmed that a BrahMos missile storage site in Nagrota was also successfully targeted, with reports indicating heavy losses on the Indian side.
Security officials stated that multiple high-value targets are being engaged, and significant damage has been inflicted on enemy positions.
Meanwhile, widespread power outages have been reported across India as darkness spread over large parts of the country. According to security sources, a cyberattack has disabled nearly 70% of India’s power grid infrastructure, significantly disrupting electricity supply.
Pakistan’s political and military leadership has warned that if India carries out further actions in response to Pakistan’s retaliation, high-value targets will be struck. In the event of a counterattack, India’s economic assets will also be targeted, they maintained, adding, India has been cautioned that any further provocation will lead to severe consequences.
India carried out airstrikes on three Pakistan Air Force (PAF) bases, Nur Khan, Murid, and Shorkot. In an emergency press conference held in the early hours of Saturday, Director General ISPR Lt Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry confirmed that all PAF assets remained safe.
“Continuing its naked aggression, India some time back has fired air-to-surface missiles with its jets. PAF Nur Khan base, PAF Murid base and Shorkot base were targeted,” he stated.
DG ISPR further confirmed that “the majority” of Indian missiles fired at PAF airbases were successfully intercepted by the armed forces’ defence systems.
He added that the few missiles that managed to evade interception “sneaked in” but, according to initial damage assessment reports, have “not been able to cause any damage” to PAF’s flying assets.
Lt Gen Chaudhry stated that Pakistan’s armed forces remain “vigilant and are thwarting all these cowardly acts of aggression by Indians.” He described the recent strikes as part of a broader and escalating campaign by India, which he said reflects growing internal instability.
“These blatant acts of aggression by India actually reflect the paranoia within Indian mindset which continues to grow after failure of each of this act,” he said. “The paranoia continues to also grow once it realises that they cannot break the resolve and will of the people of Pakistan which actually strengthens and further grows with each such cowardly act.”
He added that this “growing frustration and paranoia” within Indian strategic circles is likely to be “further compounded” as Pakistan’s response capabilities continue to hold firm.
DG ISPR further stated that the timing of India’s missile and drone strikes on Afghanistan—coming shortly after the missile launches within Indian Punjab—suggested a “larger sinister plan to push the region and beyond into havoc.”
He warned that India was trying to drag the entire region into a catastrophic conflict. “Now you just wait for our response,” he concluded. KMS
