In response to India’s unprovoked attacks on Pakistani territory by India, the Pakistan Army has launched a military operation, named Bunyan ul Marsoos, targeting multiple Indian military installations.
Pakistan’s offensive came shortly after it said India had fired missiles at three air bases earlier hours of Saturday — including one close to the capital, Islamabad, but Pakistani air defences intercepted most of them.
Locked in a longstanding dispute over Kashmir, the two countries have engaged in daily clashes since Wednesday when India launched strikes inside Pakistan. Pakistan vowed to retaliate.
The operation’s name, Bunyan ul Marsoos, is drawn from a verse of the Holy Quran, which means “a wall constructed of molten lead”, symbolising strength, solidarity, and impenetrability.
The Pakistan Army launched missile strikes against Indian military targets and paid tribute to the children martyred by India’s cowardly missile strikes earlier.
A banner on a launch vehicle displayed the names of the children.
