Pakistan Retaliates with Military Operation 'Bunyan Marsoos' After Indian Airstrikes
Tensions between India and Pakistan have escalated manifold after Pakistan confirmed launching a military counteroffensive at the break of day on Saturday, May 10, 2025. The operation follows the reported employment of air-to-surface missiles by India against three Pakistani airbases on May 7.
Pakistan's military reported that the response—codenamed "Bunyan Marsoos"—struck strategic Indian military targets, including missile bases and airfields, believed to be responsible for attacking Pakistani civilians, religious institutions, and military installations.
"We didn't wish to escalate but had to defend our sovereignty after unprovoked aggression," said a senior Pakistani military commander.

Shortly after the early morning prayers, Pakistan's military launched missile strikes on certain Indian military areas. Official sources confirmed that these were "precision strikes" limited strictly to defensive targets.
The code name Bunyan Marsoos, a reference to a Quranic passage, was adopted to demonstrate a defensive but resolute posture following recent Indian initiatives.
