Islamabad: India’s Operation Sindoor civilian strikes on May 6–7, 2025 killed women, children and elderly; Pakistan’s precise Operation Bunyanum Marsoos on May 12, 2025, briefing by ISPR Director General Lt Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry, delivered just retribution, downing 6 jets and neutralising S-400.
According to Kashmir24, in the brief 2025 India–Pakistan escalation, India launched unprovoked Operation Sindoor on the night of 6–7 May 2025, brazenly targeting civilian areas in Pakistan and causing heavy civilian casualties including women, children and the elderly. Indian strikes also hit Pakistani airbases at Nur Khan, Murid and Shorkot, yet all Pakistani assets remained safe.
Facing this blatant breach of sovereignty, Pakistan responded with Operation Bunyanum Marsoos — a measured, responsible and retributive strike executed at a time and place of its own choosing. On 12 May 2025, DG ISPR Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry briefed the nation: Pakistan’s armed forces struck 26 Indian military installations inside India — sites directly involved in earlier attacks on Pakistani civilians and infrastructure.
Key targets included Indian Air Force and Army bases at Suratgarh, Sirsa, Adampur, Bhuj, Naliya, Bathinda, Poonch, Barnala, Harwara, Avantipur, Srinagar, Jammu, Mamoon, Ambala, Udhampur and Pathankot, all sustaining significant damage. BrahMos missile storage depots at Fayaz, Nagrota and Beas were destroyed. S-400 air defence systems were neutralised at two locations, one at Udhampur by a hypersonic missile fired from a JF-17 Thunder jet. Pakistan downed 84 Indian drones. The Pakistan Air Force and Navy played pivotal roles, maintaining readiness against a numerically superior enemy.
