Islamabad: The Director General Inter-Services Public Relations (DG ISPR), Lt Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry, announced that Pakistan engaged 26 Indian military targets across Occupied Jammu and Kashmir and mainland India in a retaliatory operation named Bunyan-um-Marsoos. The strikes targeted Indian military infrastructure used to launch attacks on Pakistani soil.

“The response was precise, proportionate and restrained — yet decisive,” said DG ISPR in a post-ceasefire press conference.

Key Indian Military Installations Sustained Damage

Targets included key Indian Air Force and aviation bases in Suratgarh, Sirsa, Adampur, Bhooj, Nalia, Bathinda, Barnala, Halwara, Avantipura, Srinagar, Jammu, Mamoon, Ambala, Udhampur, and Pathankot. These locations reportedly sustained major damage.

Facilities linked to the launch of BrahMos missiles that killed Pakistani civilians were also destroyed.

“We Promised, and We Delivered”

DG ISPR highlighted that the Armed Forces had earlier pledged three things to the nation: a befitting response, at a time and method of Pakistan’s choosing, and one so impactful that the world would notice.

“We promised and delivered,” he declared, emphasizing the effectiveness of the operation.

India Directly Involved in Terrorism, Says Pakistan

During the military operation, Pakistan observed a sharp rise in India-sponsored terrorist activities within the country. DG ISPR said this proved India’s role in fomenting terrorism, with proxies fully activated to divert Pakistan’s focus.

Despite this, Pakistan simultaneously conducted counterterrorism operations on the Western front without pause.

Unleashing Pakistan’s Military Tech

Lt Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry revealed that Pakistan used only a portion of its sophisticated and indigenous military technology, preserving many capabilities for future contingencies.

“Our response avoided civilian casualties and exclusively targeted operational threats,” he stated.

Pakistan also deployed armed drones over major Indian cities, including New Delhi, to showcase its advanced unmanned capabilities. Furthermore, Pakistani cyber units executed a successful cyber-offensive, temporarily degrading critical Indian military infrastructure.

Indian Military Suffered Strategic Setbacks

Military command headquarters, logistics bases, and radar stations responsible for attacks on civilians in Pakistan were destroyed. Artillery positions across the Line of Control (LoC) that had previously targeted civilians in Azad Jammu & Kashmir were also neutralized.

“They raised white flags and asked for restraint,” DG ISPR noted, referencing the extent of the damage.

Tri-Services Synergy: A Textbook Demonstration

Describing the operation as a “textbook example of tri-services integration,” DG ISPR credited real-time intelligence, network-centric warfare, and multidomain operations for enabling precision strikes and overwhelming lethality.

Pakistan used Fatah-1 and Fatah-2 missiles, precision-guided munitions from the PAF, long-range loitering drones, and artillery to target high-value Indian assets.

Pakistan Air Force Grounded Indian Rafales

Air Vice Marshal Aurangzeb Ahmed revealed that the Indian Air Force’s prized Rafale fleet was grounded following Pakistan’s initial strikes. He praised the leadership of the Chief of Air Staff Zaheer Ahmad Babar for directing a calibrated and powerful air campaign.

“With unmatched precision and resolve, we hit more IAF airfields in a single package than ever before since 1971,” he said.

He confirmed that Indian UAV operations against Pakistani civilians were intercepted, jammed, and rendered ineffective using indigenous counter-drone technologies developed by Pakistan’s military.

Pakistan Navy Maintained Readiness, Thwarted Threats from Sea

Deputy Chief of Naval Staff (Operations) Vice Admiral Raja Rab Nawaz said the Navy was on high alert from the beginning and deployed its fleet and coastal command units within hours.

He dispelled the hype around India’s aircraft carrier INS Vikrant, confirming it never approached Pakistan’s coast and remained 400 nautical miles from Karachi before retreating.

“We were fully prepared to respond if they dared enter our waters,” he said, adding that the Vikrant’s limited fleet of MiG-29s would not have changed the outcome.

Operation Bunyan-um-Marsoos: Justice for May 6–7 Attacks

DG ISPR concluded that Operation Bunyan-um-Marsoos was Pakistan’s response to Indian military aggression that killed civilians, including women and children, on the night of May 6 and 7, 2025.

“Pakistan vowed justice for the victims — and we achieved it,” he said.
