A statement from the ISPR said the army chief made the comments while visiting the Combined Military Hospital Rawalpindi today to enquire after the well-being of soldiers and civilians wounded during the conflict period of Marka-i-Haq and the aforementioned operation.
According to a statement by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), in a powerful and calculated response to India’s cowardly and unprovoked attacks, the Pakistan Armed Forces launched Operation “Bunyanum Marsoos” on as part of the broader military campaign Marka-e-Haq.
“The conduct of Pakistan Armed Forces Operation “Bunyanum Marsoos”, on 10 May 2025 as part of the military conflict Marka-e-Haq, was in response to Indian military’s dastardly attacks that began on the night of 6 & 7 May 2025, resulting in the loss of innocent civilian lives, including women, children, and the elderly,” ISPR said.
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 military’s media affairs wing said in a statement.
The Armed Forces of Pakistan express their profound appreciation and gratitude to the brave Pakistani nation whose unwavering moral strength, resolve, and above all, wholehearted support and prayers remained with us during these trying times. This support was indeed the most potent force multiplier for the Armed Forces of Pakistan.
On other side, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has announced that the country’s military action against Pakistan has only been paused for the moment.
“We have only paused our military action. In the coming days, we will measure Pakistan’s every step by what action it adopts,” he said in his first address from New Delhi to the Indian nation since the recent escalation between the two countries.
On future relations with Pakistan, he said: “Terror and talks can’t happen together. Terror and trade can’t happen together. Water and blood also cannot flow together.”
Modi said he would apprise the global community that if any talks with Pakistan were to happen, they would be regarding the issue of terrorism and Kashmir.
Following the April 22 terrorist attack in occupied Kashmir’s Pahalgam, India had unilaterally held in abeyance the Indus Waters Treaty in violation of its Article 12 which says the provisions of the agreement will “continue in force until terminated by a duly ratified treaty concluded for that purpose between the two governments”.
