RAWALPINDI (Kashmir English): Pakistan armed forces have confirmed the completion of its military operation ‘Bunyan-um-Marsoos‘ launched in response to the Indian military’s ‘dastardly attacks’, which began on the night of May 6 and 7, 2025, the military’s media wing said in a statement.
The military said that Operation Bunyan-um-Marsoos was launched on May 10, 2025, as part of the broader military conflict with neighboring rival India, which started from April 22 till May 10. The military has named the conflict as ‘Marka-e-Haq’ [Battle of Truth].
The military’s press statement said that Pakistan had vowed justice for the Indian military attack, which resulted in the loss of innocent civilian lives, including women, children, and the elderly. “Alhamdulillah! Pakistan Armed Forces have delivered the promise made to our people,” the military highlighted.
The armed forces, in a press release, extended 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.
The forces also extended sympathies with the wards and families of the Shuhada who sacrificed their lives for the beloved country.
Forces expressed gratitude to all political parties
Armed Forces expressed gratitude to the political leadership of all political parties, without any distinction, for the show of unified resolve in our support for the defence of our motherland.
The forces, as per their media release, extend appreciation to the diplomatic corps for effectively representing Pakistan’s just case on international fora with clarity and conviction.
“We are especially indebted to the youth of Pakistan, who became frontline soldiers as the cyber and information warriors of the country,” it added.
“We express gratitude to our scientists and engineers for developing indigenous and specialized niche technologies that were instrumental in the magnificent success of Operation “Bunyanum Marsoos”, it added.
“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.”
“The Armed Forces of Pakistan express their profound appreciation and gratitude to the brave Pakistani nation whose unwavering moral strength, resolve, and above all, wholehearted support and prayers remained with us during these trying times,” the press statement read.
Pakistan’s response was textbook demonstration of integrated tri-services jointness
The military’s media wing said that “Pakistan’s response 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,” it added.
Pakistan armed forces, as per the press release, used precision-guided long-range Fatah series missiles F1 and F2 of Pakistan Army, precision munitions of PAF, highly capable long-range loitering killer munitions, and precision long-range artillery.
Pakistan targeted 26 Indian military installations
The ISPR press statement confirmed that the armed forces targeted 26 Indian military targets as well as facilities that were used to target Pakistani citizens, and those enterprises that were responsible for fomenting terrorism in Pakistan, were engaged in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir, and also mainland India.
“The targets included Air Force and Aviation bases at Suratgarh, Sirsa, Bhuj, Naliya, Adampur, Bhatinda, Barnala, Halwara, Awantipura, Srinagar, Jammu, Udhampur, Mamun, Ambala, and Pathankot, all of which sustained major damage,” the statement added.
“BrahMos storage facilities at Beas and Nagrota were also destroyed, which had fired missiles on Pakistan, killing innocent civilians, including women, children, and the elderly. S-400 battery systems at Adampur and Bhuj were also attacked and effectively neutralised by the Pakistan Air Force.”
Military logistics and support sites, which helped sustain this unlawful operation against innocent Pakistani civilians — like the Field Supply Depot at Uri and Radar Station at Poonch—were also targeted.
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, the military claimed.
“Facilities that harboured, trained, and capacitated proxy elements that perpetrated terrorist attacks inside Pakistan and killed innocent civilians were specifically identified and destroyed. These include intelligence units and their forward field elements at Rajauri and Naushera,” it added.
Across the LOC, military elements, including HQs, logistic bases, artillery positions, and posts that had caused civilian casualties in Azad Jammu and Kashmir through unprovoked artillery and small arms fire, were relentlessly targeted and heavily damaged, until they raised white flags and asked for restraint.
“India used drones to violate Pakistani airspace to intimidate our civilians and spread fear. All through Operation Bunyanum Marsoos, dozens of Pakistani armed drones hovered over Indian major cities and sensitive political and government facilities—including their capital New Delhi—and from Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir all the way to Gujarat to clearly manifest our lethal long-range unmanned capability, indicating the futility of the use of this domain in warfare,” it read.
The armed forces also confirmed that it 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.
Pakistan Armed Forces possess an ‘adequate’ suite of very sophisticated ‘niche military technologies’, and only a limited number and type were used with restraint in this conflict.
“Despite all this, compared to India’s relentless provocations, Pakistan’s military response has been precise, proportionate, and still remarkably restrained. It was carefully calibrated to avoid civilian casualties and exclusively targeted those entities and facilities which were directly involved in orchestrating and executing the cold-blooded killings of Pakistani civilians and those carrying out terrorist attacks inside Pakistan.”
‘Pakistan saw spike in Indian-sponsored terrorism across KP, Balochistan’
The military confirmed that the country also sustained an abnormal and immediate spike in Indian-sponsored terrorism across KP and Balochistan while its armed forces were busy in operations on the eastern front.
“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,” it read.
The resilient Armed Forces of Pakistan carried out the most effective counter-terrorism operations in the western region without any pause, simultaneously with the conduct of Operation Bunyanum Marsoos.
“Marka-e-Haq has been a great example of the synergy between all elements of national power, with overwhelming support of the Pakistani public, to effectively counter the threat to our national sovereignty and territorial integrity,” the statement read.
