ISLAMABAD: The Inter-Service Public Relations (ISPR) said on Monday that Pakistan’s response to the naked Indian aggression was a textbook demonstration of integrated tri-services jointness, enabled by real-time situational awareness, network-centric warfare capabilities, and seamless multi-domain operations.
“This synergy across air, land, sea, and cyber domains allowed for precision engagement, overwhelming lethality, and lightning operational tempo. All platforms operated in synergy, delivering coordinated effects at carefully selected decisive points,” stated a detailed press statement issued by the ISPR—the public affairs wing of the Pakistan Army.
The ISPR declared that, “Alhamdulillah! Pakistan Armed Forces have delivered the promise made to our people. Armed Forces thank Almighty Allah for His infinite blessings, mercy, help, and divine support. Allah has ordained the believers to retaliate whenever they are wronged. We bow our heads to Him in utmost humility for enabling us to translate our resolve into decisive actions on the battlefield.”
The conduct of Pakistan Armed Forces Operation—codenamed Bunyanum Marsoos on May 10, 2025, as part of the military conflict Marka-e-Haq (the battle for truth)—was in response to the Indian military’s dastardly attacks that began on the night of May 6 and 7.
Pakistani forces relentlessly targeted Indian military headquarters, logistic bases, artillery positions, and posts responsible for civilian casualties in Azad Jammu and Kashmir… Indian forces eventually raised white flags and asked for restraint.”
The late-night attacks resulted in the loss of innocent civilian lives, including women, children, and the elderly. Pakistan had vowed justice and retribution for the reprehensible Indian military aggression and brutal killings of its citizens.
Advanced weaponry deployed
According to the ISPR, Pakistan’s Armed Forces employed a suite of advanced military technologies during the operation.
These included “precision-guided long-range Fatah series missiles F1 and F2 of Pakistan Army, precision munitions of PAF [Pakistan Air Force], long-range loitering killer munitions, and precision long-range artillery.”
Critical targets destroyed
These weapons were used to target 26 military targets and support facilities in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir and mainland India.
The ISPR confirmed that the targets included air force and aviation bases such as Suratgarh, Sirsa, Bhuj, Naliya, Adampur, Bhatinda, Barnala, Halwara, Awantipura, Srinagar, Jammu, Udhampur, Mamun, Ambala, and Pathankot—all of which sustained major damages.
It further noted that BrahMos storage facilities at Beas and Nagrota—involved in attacks on Pakistani civilians—were destroyed. It added that the S-400 battery systems at Adampur and Bhuj were also attacked and effectively neutralised by the Pakistan Air Force.
Dozens of Pakistani armed drones hovered over Indian major cities and sensitive political and government facilities—including their capital, New Delhi—demonstrating Pakistan’s lethal long-range unmanned capability.”
Military logistics and support sites, including the Field Supply Depot at Uri and the Radar Station at Poonch, were also targeted.
The ISPR added that the Military Command Headquarters, which helped plan the operational killing of our innocent citizens, especially the children, including 10 Bde and 80 Bde at KG Top and Naushera, were completely destroyed.
Proxy networks neutralised
The ISPR stated that the facilities used to train and equip proxy elements responsible for terrorist attacks inside Pakistan—particularly the intelligence units and their forward field elements at Rajauri and Naushera—were also eliminated.
It said that across the Line of Control (LoC), Pakistani forces “relentlessly targeted” Indian military headquarters, logistic bases, artillery positions, and posts responsible for civilian casualties in Azad Jammu and Kashmir, adding that Indian forces eventually “raised white flags and asked for restraint.”
The ISPR also highlighted that India had violated Pakistani airspace using drones to spread fear among civilians.
In response, “dozens of Pakistani armed drones hovered over Indian major cities and sensitive political and government facilities—including their capital New Delhi,” it stated. This action was intended to demonstrate Pakistan’s “lethal long-range unmanned capability.”
Cyber warfare operations
Simultaneously, Pakistani forces also carried out comprehensive and effective cyber operations to temporarily cripple and degrade critical infrastructure and services that were being used by Indian Armed Forces to sustain their operations.
It added that Pakistan possessed an adequate suite of very sophisticated niche military technologies, only a limited number and type were used with restraint in this conflict.
Precision-guided long-range Fatah series missiles F1 and F2 of Pakistan Army, precision munitions of PAF, long-range loitering killer munitions, and precision long-range artillery were employed to devastating effect.”
The ISPR emphasised that Pakistan’s military response has been precise, proportionate, and still remarkably restrained.
It added that the strikes avoided civilian casualties and exclusively and were targeted solely at facilities which were directly involved in orchestrating and executing the cold-blooded killings of Pakistani civilians and those carrying out terrorist attacks inside Pakistan.
Terrorism surge in Pakistan
While operations were underway on the eastern front, Pakistan also sustained an abnormal and immediate spike in Indian-sponsored terrorism across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan.
“This further vindicates that India is directly involved in fomenting terrorism in Pakistan, and its proxies were fully operationalised during this time to distract our attention.”
Despite this, the armed forces “carried out most effective counter-terrorism operations in the western region without any pause, simultaneously with the conduct of Operation Bunyanum Marsoos.”
Gratitude to the fallen heroes
The ISPR noted that the nation’s hearts and sympathies are with the wards and families of the martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the beloved country and they pray for the quick recovery of the injured countrymen.
The Military Command Headquarters which helped plan the operational killing of our innocent citizens, especially the children, including 10 Bde and 80 Bde at KG Top and Naushera, were completely destroyed.”
Paying tribute to the personnel involved, the ISPR extended it heartfelt gratitude to every officer, soldier, airman, and sailor of the Armed Forces of Pakistan who made this success on the battlefield possible through their courage, professionalism, and sacrifice.
Power to national unity
The military’s media wing highlighted the role of national unity, stating that the unwavering moral strength, resolve, and, above all, wholehearted support and prayers of the Pakistani people served as a force multiplier during this critical period.
The ISPR stated that the Armed Forces are specifically grateful to the inspiring leadership of the Prime Minister of Pakistan and his Cabinet Ministers for taking destiny-altering decisions for the country and steering it through this critical situation.
It also acknowledged the efforts of the Foreign Office for effectively representing Pakistan’s just case on international fora with clarity and conviction.
Expressing appreciation for the political unity shown, the ISPR thanked the political leadership of all political parties, “without any distinction.”
It made special mention of the youth, calling them the “frontline soldiers as the cyber and information warriors of the country.”
It also lauded Pakistan’s vibrant media, which, according to ISPR, “stood like Bunyanum Marsoos, a steel wall against the Indian media’s disinformation blitz and reckless war-mongering.”
Scientists and engineers were also credited for their contribution in developing “indigenous and specialised niche technologies” that played a vital in the operation’s success.
