- BrahMos missile depot in Beas annihilated, the same site from which India launched missiles into Pakistani territory.
- Udhampur Air Base and Pathankot Airfield destroyed, crippling Indian Air Force operations in the north.
- Pakistan Air Force strikes multiple high-value targets, including Nagrota, Uri, and Derangyari military installations.
- Operation Bunyanu’l-Marsous launched as a disciplined, proportionate, and strategically timed response to Indian false-flag aggression in Pahalgam.
After days of calculated restraint and unwavering resolve, Pakistan has struck back with overwhelming precision and power. In a retaliatory campaign codenamed Operation Bunyanu’l-Marsous — meaning “The Solid Structure” — the Pakistan Armed Forces have destroyed key Indian military targets, sending a resounding message: Pakistan’s silence is not submission; it is strategic patience. And when we respond, we strike with thunder.
The large-scale operation was launched in response to India’s unprovoked aggression, carried out under the pretext of the controversial Pahalgam attack — which Islamabad has consistently denounced as a false-flag operation orchestrated by India’s intelligence agency, RAW.

This morning, the gloves came off.
Pakistan’s Strategic Restraint Ends with a Thunderous Response
For nearly a week, Pakistan’s leadership held back, choosing diplomacy and investigation over impulsive action. Even as Indian media beat the drums of war and missiles rained on Azad Jammu and Kashmir — killing civilians and damaging public infrastructure — Islamabad waited, calculated, and prepared.

“We wanted the world to see who the real aggressor was,” said a senior Pakistani military official. “India fired first. We waited. We identified every launch point, every complicit base. And then — we hit them all at once.”
What followed was a masterclass in coordinated, precision warfare.
Major Indian Military Installations Destroyed
At exactly 04:30 AM on Saturday, Pakistan launched simultaneous air and missile strikes across several critical Indian military locations, all of which had either launched or facilitated India’s attack on Pakistan.
Among the confirmed high-value targets destroyed:
-
🎯 BrahMos missile storage depot in Beas — The same site from which India had launched its first missiles into Pakistan earlier this week. It was reduced to rubble in a fiery chain of secondary explosions.
-
🎯 Udhampur Air Base — Rendered completely non-operational. Satellite footage shows hangars in flames and the runway cratered beyond repair.
-
🎯 Pathankot Airfield — Targeted and destroyed, with multiple Pakistani munitions hitting fuel depots, radar facilities, and aircraft shelters.
The operation didn’t stop there. Pakistan Air Force jets and long-range guided missiles struck deeper into Indian military infrastructure, obliterating the following:
-
✅ Brigade Headquarters at KG Top
-
✅ Field Supply Depot in Uri
-
✅ Artillery Gun Position in Derangyari
-
✅ BrahMos missile battery site in Nagrota
“All of these targets were directly involved in the aggression against Pakistan,” stated Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) in an official communique. “We have acted with precision, proportionality, and purpose. This is justice — not vengeance.”

A Doctrine of Deterrence, Not Escalation
Despite the massive scale and effectiveness of Operation Bunyanu’l-Marsous, Pakistan has reaffirmed its commitment to regional peace.
“This is not war for the sake of war,” said Lt. Gen. (R) Tariq Khan, a leading defense analyst. “This is deterrence — Pakistan has drawn a red line. Violate our sovereignty again, and the consequences will be immediate and far greater.”
Military sources confirm that civilian targets were deliberately avoided, and all strikes were confined to Indian military infrastructure that had played a role in the previous offensive.
The Pahalgam Incident: A False-Flag Exposed
The chain of events began on April 29, when a deadly bombing in Pahalgam, Indian-occupied Kashmir, killed over 30 Hindu pilgrims and soldiers. India immediately blamed Pakistan, claiming cross-border terrorist infiltration.
Islamabad, however, rejected the baseless accusations, calling the attack a manufactured event designed to shift political discourse ahead of India’s national elections.
“RAW has a long and bloody history of false-flag operations,” said Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar. “This was no different. The timing, the narrative, the media choreography — it all pointed to internal Indian orchestration.”
International analysts and watchdogs also voiced skepticism, citing the speed of India’s accusations, inconsistencies in eyewitness accounts, and lack of forensic transparency.
Nonetheless, India proceeded with military strikes on Pakistan-administered Azad Jammu and Kashmir, hitting civilian homes and resulting in several deaths — including children. The attack triggered emergency meetings within Pakistan’s National Security Committee and Joint Chiefs of Staff Headquarters, culminating in a decisive directive from the civilian and military leadership: respond, and respond hard.
“An Eye for an Eye” — Pakistan’s Doctrine Unveiled
The ISPR’s official statement was clear and concise:
“An eye for an eye. A base for a base. A missile for a missile. Pakistan will never again allow aggression to go unanswered.”
The campaign was not just military in nature — it was psychological and symbolic. The operation’s name, Bunyanu’l-Marsous, comes from Islamic scripture, denoting a structure reinforced with divine unity and unbreakable force. It reflects Pakistan’s moral clarity, national unity, and unshakable resolve.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, in a late-night address, declared:
“We are a peace-loving nation. But peace cannot exist without justice. Today, we have shown the world that Pakistan does not bow — it defends, it endures, and it triumphs.”
India Silent, World Alarmed
As of late Saturday, India has not issued an official statement. Panic has gripped towns near the LoC and the Punjab frontier, with sirens, evacuations, and social media blackouts reported in multiple districts.
Meanwhile, international capitals are scrambling to contain the fallout.
-
China has urged restraint and offered to mediate.
-
The United States expressed “deep concern” and called for urgent de-escalation.
-
Turkey, Iran, and Malaysia have expressed support for Pakistan’s right to self-defense.
Despite the tension, Pakistan has signaled its intent to avoid further escalation — unless provoked again.
“Let there be no misunderstanding,” said an ISPR official. “This operation was limited, calculated, and legally justified under the right to self-defense. But if India chooses war — we are ready. And we are not afraid.”
A Message Delivered
Operation Bunyanu’l-Marsous is more than a military campaign — it is a strategic message carved in steel and fire: Pakistan’s restraint is not infinite. Its silence is not surrender. And its defense is as unyielding as the mountains that guard its borders.
