ISLAMABAD: In response to an unprovoked attack on Pakistani airbases by India, the Pakistan Army launched a military operation, named Bunyan-um-Marsoos, targeting multiple Indian military installations at dawn on Saturday.

The operation’s name, Bunyan-um-Marsoos, is drawn from a verse of the Holy Quran, which means “a wall constructed of molten lead”, symbolising strength, solidarity, and impenetrability.

Sources told Geo News that multiple strategic targets across India were being engaged as part of the operation.

The Fatah-1 ballistic missile system of Pakistan and JF-17 Thunders played havoc with several military targets including operational airfields and also destroyed so-called defence system of India as a robust response to blatant Indian aggression under the operation.

In its initial phase, a BrahMos missile storage facility located in Beas was successfully destroyed.

Also Pakistan’s F-17 Thunder’s hypersonic missiles destroyed India’s S-400 system in Adampur, security sources said.

They said the S-400 air defence system is worth about $1.5 billion.

Pakistan also destroyed India’s Adampur airfield. Adampur airfield was used to launch missile strikes on Sikhs in Amritsar, the security sources said.

The launched missiles were named after innocent children who embraced martyrdom in coward Indian attacks on civilian population and mosques on night of May 6 and 7.

Under the operation, Pakistan disabled 70 percent of India’s power grid through a cyberattack. According to sources familiar with the operation, the cyber assault led to a complete blackout across parts of the Maharashtra state, disrupting both commercial and domestic power supplies.

The attack is said to have also wiped data records, including those related to electricity meters for homes and businesses throughout the region. The extent of the damage and the time required for system restoration remain unclear.

The Pakistan military also destroyed the Sirsa Airfield in a precision strike.

Indian media outlets confirmed the airfield’s destruction. The armed forces destroyed an Indian Army brigade headquarters and the supply depot at Uri.

In another significant development, India’s Adampur, Bathinda, Halwara, Pathankot Suratgarh, Mamun, Akhnoor, Jammu, Sirsa, and Barnala airbases and airfields were also destroyed.

Security sources said that the Pakistani armed forces destroyed an Indian artillery gun position in Dehrangyari.

Moreover, the BrahMos missile storage facility located in Nagrota was also successfully neutralised, they added.

A newly released video has revealed the moment a BrahMos missile storage facility in India was struck during a precision strike operation by Pakistan armed forces.

A key Indian military intelligence training centre in Nowshera located in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) was also been destroyed.

The Indian training centre was being used to plan and direct terrorist activities inside Pakistan, according to security sources.

An Indian military satellite had been jammed as a result of the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) strike.

A key Indian military intelligence training facility in India’s Rajouri, used to orchestrate terrorist activities inside Pakistan, was also destroyed, security sources said.

According to reports, the Indian military satellite is currently non-operational following the PAF action.

The Indian army, later, admitted that Pakistan attempted 26 aerial incursions into Indian territory.

The Indian army also admitted to having suffered damage of equipment and personnel at Indian military bases.

Meanwhile, the Pakistan Army delivered a befitting reply to recent Indian aggression along the Line of Control (LoC) as several Indian army posts were destroyed on Saturday, security sources said.

The sources detailed the destruction of key enemy locations, including the Chhao Gali post in the Pando sector and the Lal Jan post in the Lipa sector. Furthermore, claims indicate that the Salamabad post and the Sokajabra post were also targeted and destroyed by Pakistani forces. Calling this development a “major success,” security sources also reported the destruction of India’s Uri supply depot. The obliteration of this depot is being highlighted as a significant blow to Indian military logistics in the region.
