On early Saturday, Pakistan initiated the military operation ‘Bunyan Marsoos’—translated as Iron Wall—targeting various strategic installations in India. According to security sources, seven locations were struck, including the significant Pathankot air base, Udhampur air base, and Gujarat air base, as well as the Rajasthan air base and a BrahMos storage facility.
This operation was a response to Indian missile attacks that impacted several sites within Pakistan. Late Friday, India launched missiles at three air bases in Pakistan; however, a military spokesperson confirmed that all Pakistan Air Force (PAF) assets remained unharmed.
Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry, Director General of Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR), stated at a press conference that India targeted the Nur Khan base in Rawalpindi, Murid base in Chakwal, and Shorkot air base with air-to-ground missiles.
He assured that, by the grace of Allah Almighty, all PAF assets are secure and cautioned India to expect a strong retaliation, asserting, ‘Now just wait for our response.’ The DG ISPR also noted that India had launched missiles and drones into Afghanistan, emphasizing that India’s arrogance was contributing to regional instability.
Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry, reported that India has launched six ballistic missiles, with one hitting Udhampur and the other five landing near Amritsar.
During a late-night press briefing, he indicated that these missiles were fired from Udhampur, raising concerns that India may be targeting its own citizens, particularly the Sikh minority, which is perplexing. The Sikh community appears to be under threat, and these strikes have sparked serious concerns regarding the Indian government’s motives.
In a separate media briefing, Lt. Gen. Chaudhry noted that India has also targeted Pakistan Air Force (PAF) airbases; while most ballistic missiles were intercepted by air defenses, a few managed to breach them, though initial assessments indicate no damage to PAF aircraft. He highlighted that the PAF successfully detected the electronic signatures of each missile at launch and identified their intended targets.
Furthermore, he mentioned that India has conducted missile and drone strikes against Afghanistan, a neighboring ally. Following the missile attack on its own territory in Indian Punjab, India seems to be attempting to instigate chaos in the region and beyond as part of a broader, malicious agenda.
He assured the people of Pakistan that their armed forces remain vigilant and ready to respond to any acts of aggression from India. These reckless actions by India reveal its increasing paranoia, which intensifies with each defeat. However, no level of aggression can diminish the resilient spirit of the Pakistani people. Rather than weakening us, these disgraceful actions only reinforce Pakistan’s resolve and unity. The desperation of India is akin to a ticking time bomb—its paranoia and failures will continue to escalate, he concluded.
