Pakistan(National Times)- In a significant escalation of the ongoing military conflict between Pakistan and India, the Pakistan Armed Forces have launched a large-scale retaliatory strike, named “Operation Bunyan-um-Marsoos”, targeting over 20 Indian military sites across multiple regions, senior security officials confirmed to Geo News on Saturday. The strikes, described by officials as \u201cprecise and proportionate\u201d, were carried out in response to India\u2019s continued aggression across the Line of Control (LoC) and within Pakistan\u2019s sovereignty. This follows India\u2019s missile attacks in multiple Pakistani cities during the night of May 5 and 6, which New Delhi claimed were aimed at “terrorist targets” in response to last month\u2019s Pahalgam attack in the Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK). However, the strikes resulted in civilian casualties in Pakistan, prompting a strong response. Top officials directly linked with the operation against India told Geo News that the following high-value Indian military targets were hit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Strategic impact <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Senior Pakistani military officials, speaking on background, stated that the strikes were carried out under the operational framework of \u201cmeasured retaliation\u201d aimed at degrading India\u2019s offensive capabilities while avoiding civilian targets. \u201cPakistan reserves the right to defend its sovereignty under international law,\u201d a senior official said. \u201cAll strikes were carefully selected to target military infrastructure directly contributing to Indian aggression.\u201d The operation has reportedly caused widespread disruption to Indian air defence operations across the northern sector. Satellite imagery and real-time surveillance indicate significant damage to assets and installations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cyberattacks<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a simultaneous digital offensive, Pakistan is also reported to have launched a major cyberattack on Indian infrastructure: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pakistan\u2019s military action under “Operation Bunyan-um-Marsoos” marks one of the most significant escalations between the nuclear armed arch-rivals in recent years. Islamabad has made it clear that while it is open to de-escalation, the responsibility lies with India to cease hostilities. Pakistan\u2019s response was described by officials as \u201cmeasured but resolute.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
International reactions and diplomatic situation
Pakistan\u2019s Ministry of Foreign Affairs is expected to brief foreign ambassadors on the escalation. Meanwhile, the Indian government has not yet issued an official statement on the reported damage, though state-run media has acknowledged \u201congoing hostilities\u201d and \u201ccasualties\u201d. The United Nations, United States, and China are closely monitoring the situation, with calls emerging for immediate de-escalation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
