RAWALPINDI (Kashmir English): Chief of Army Staff General Syed Asim Munir has called Operation Bunyan-um-Marsoos a firm and decisive response to Indian aggression, affirming that the Pakistan Armed Forces have honoured every pledge made to the nation.
In a statement released by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the Army Chief commended both the military and the people of Pakistan for standing together like a “fortified wall,” showing unity, strength, and determination in defending the country’s sovereignty.
“Alhamdulillah, Operation Bunyan-um-Marsoos is a fitting answer to India,” General Asim Munir said, adding that divine help favours those who stand for the truth, regardless of numbers. “Pakistan has demonstrated this today.”
He reiterated that Pakistan’s repeated calls for peace should not be misunderstood as a weakness. He said that we have the complete capability to defend our borders and safeguard our national interests.
The Army Chief, along with the DG ISPR, had earlier warned that any hostile move would be met with a strong, well-planned response. We are fully prepared to defend our motherland. India’s 1.3 million troops and advanced weapons cannot shake our resolve, General Munir stated.
He concluded by reaffirming that Operation Bunyan-um-Marsoos was in line with the promise made to the people of Pakistan, quoting verses from the Holy Quran and stressing that true success comes with divine support.
Additionally, Pakistans cyber strike has rattled India. Pakistan used less than 10 per cent of its cyber strike capabilities in a recent retaliatory move against India, yet the impact was described as severe by a senior defence official.
While the world witnessed a visible military response involving Fateh-1 and Fateh-2 rockets along with Babur cruise missiles targeting key Indian sites including a prized S-400 radar, officials say the real blow came from the invisible cyber front.
According to security officials, even before missiles struck, Indian markets plunged INR6.9 trillion ($83 billion) in just 48 hours.
Security sources revealed that the cyber strike caused significant disruption across India. Ten SCADA systems were destroyed, over 1,700 servers were wiped, 13 government websites went offline, railway operations collapsed, and power grids were disrupted to the extent that even Mumbai had to rely on emergency backup.
Pakistan’s cyber strikes reportedly included GPS spoofing, signal jamming, satellite blinding, and hacking of sensitive databases. These actions led to market instability and a freeze in critical infrastructure.
