The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) has issued a detailed statement highlighting the success of Pakistan Armed Forces’ Operation “Bunyan-um-Marsoos,” conducted from 7 to 10 May as part of the broader military conflict “Marka-e-Haq,” which spanned from 22 April to 10 May 2025.
According to the ISPR, the operation was launched in response to “dastardly attacks” by Indian military forces that began on the night of 6 and 7 May, resulting in the deaths of numerous innocent Pakistani civilians, including women, children, and the elderly.
“Pakistan had vowed justice and retribution for the reprehensible Indian military aggression and brutal killings of our citizens. Alhamdulillah! Pakistan Armed Forces have delivered the promise made to our people,” the ISPR stated.
The military’s media wing expressed gratitude to Almighty Allah, stating, “Allah has ordained the believers to retaliate whenever they are wronged. We bow our heads to Him in utmost humility for enabling us to translate our resolve into decisive actions on the battlefield.”

ISPR also extended heartfelt sympathies to the families of the martyrs and wished a speedy recovery for those injured. “We extend our heartfelt gratitude to every officer, soldier, airman, and sailor of the Armed Forces of Pakistan who made this success on the battlefield possible through their courage, professionalism, and sacrifice,” the statement read.
The armed forces acknowledged the unwavering support of the Pakistani nation during the conflict, calling it a potent “force multiplier.” “We are especially indebted to the youth of Pakistan, who became frontline soldiers as the cyber and information warriors of the country.”
ISPR also praised Pakistan’s media and diplomatic corps. “The vibrant media of Pakistan stood like Bunyan-um-Marsoos, a steel wall against the Indian media’s disinformation blitz. We extend our appreciation to the diplomatic corps for effectively representing Pakistan’s just case on international fora with clarity and conviction.”
The military thanked its scientists and engineers for their role in developing “indigenous and specialised niche technologies,” which played a key role in the success of the operation.

ISPR also acknowledged the political leadership for displaying a united front. “Armed Forces are extremely grateful to the political leadership of all political parties and specifically to the inspiring leadership of the Prime Minister of Pakistan and his Cabinet Ministers.”
Describing the operation’s military execution, ISPR said it demonstrated “integrated tri-services jointness” and relied on “real-time situational awareness, network-centric warfare capabilities, and seamless multi-domain operations.” The offensive targeted 26 Indian military installations, including Air Force bases, missile storage facilities, and command headquarters.
Significant targets included air bases at Suratgarh, Sirsa, Bhuj, and Pathankot, as well as S-400 missile systems in Adampur and Bhuj. BrahMos storage sites at Beas and Nagrota were also destroyed. “Military command HQs involved in planning attacks on civilians, such as 10 Bde and 80 Bde at KG Top and Naushera, were completely destroyed,” ISPR claimed.
Military logistics and support sites such as the Field Supply Depot at Uri and Radar Station at Poonch were targeted, along with intelligence units at Rajauri and Naushera that harboured and trained proxy elements.

ISPR reported that across the Line of Control (LoC), Indian artillery positions, logistics bases, and posts causing civilian casualties in Azad Jammu and Kashmir were “relentlessly targeted and heavily damaged until they raised white flags and asked for restraint.”
Pakistan’s drone operations demonstrated reach over Indian mainland cities, including New Delhi, “clearly manifesting our lethal long-range unmanned capability.” ISPR added that Pakistan also carried out “effective cyber operations to temporarily cripple and degrade critical infrastructure and services used by Indian Armed Forces.”
Pakistan Armed Forces possessed an “adequate suite” of sophisticated niche technologies but used only a limited number with restraint. Despite the scale of the operation, ISPR emphasised it was “precise, proportionate, and remarkably restrained,” carefully calibrated to avoid civilian casualties and focusing solely on those involved in hostile actions against Pakistan.
Simultaneously, Pakistan dealt with a spike in terrorism in KP and Balochistan, which ISPR attributed to Indian-backed proxies. “The resilient Armed Forces of Pakistan carried out the most effective counter-terrorism operations in the western region without any pause.”

Marka-e-Haq, ISPR said, was a prime example of national synergy: “a great example of the synergy between all elements of national power, with overwhelming support of the Pakistani public, to effectively counter the threat to our national sovereignty and territorial integrity.”
Concluding the statement, ISPR underscored the national unity displayed during Marka-e-Haq and reaffirmed that any threat to Pakistan’s sovereignty would be met with “a comprehensive and decisive” response.
