Pakistan has initiated retaliatory action in response to the ongoing Indian aggression in the wee hours of Saturday, according to security sources.
Sources confirmed that a counter-operation is currently underway, with Pakistani forces actively engaged in targeting multiple Indian positions. The operation has been officially named Operation Bunyan-un-Marsoos, sources confirmed.
As part of the operation, Pakistan has destroyed a BrahMos missile storage site in the Beas area, which was reportedly used to launch missiles at Pakistan. In addition, the Udhampur Airbase has been destroyed, and the airfield in Pathankot has also been rendered non-operational, sources confirmed.
Pakistan strikes back. It is a befitting response to fascist state of India. India will be retaliated in her own language now.#PakArmedForcesZindabad #PakistanIndianWar #IndiaPakistanWar pic.twitter.com/uA6yolxyC5

As part of the operation, all bases identified as launch points for attacks on Pakistani civilians and mosques are being specifically targeted. Multiple strategic targets are being engaged simultaneously as the operation progresses, according to security sources.
In the ongoing operation, India’s brigade headquarters at G-Top has also been destroyed, security sources confirmed. Additionally, the supply depot in Uri has been successfully targeted and destroyed, further disrupting Indian military logistics, sources added.
Meanwhile, widespread power outages have been reported across India as darkness spread over large parts of the country. According to security sources, a cyberattack has disabled nearly 70% of India’s power grid infrastructure, significantly disrupting electricity supply.

India carried out airstrikes on three Pakistan Air Force (PAF) bases, Nur Khan, Murid, and Shorkot. In an emergency press conference held in the early hours of Saturday, Director General ISPR Lt Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry confirmed that all PAF assets remained safe.
“Continuing its naked aggression, India some time back has fired air-to-surface missiles with its jets. PAF Nur Khan base, PAF Murid base and Shorkot base were targeted,” he stated.
DG ISPR further confirmed that “the majority” of Indian missiles fired at PAF airbases were successfully intercepted by the armed forces’ defence systems.
He added that the few missiles that managed to evade interception “sneaked in” but, according to initial damage assessment reports, have “not been able to cause any damage” to PAF’s flying assets.
Lt Gen Chaudhry stated that Pakistan’s armed forces remain “vigilant and are thwarting all these cowardly acts of aggression by Indians.” He described the recent strikes as part of a broader and escalating campaign by India, which he said reflects growing internal instability.
“These blatant acts of aggression by India actually reflect the paranoia within Indian mindset which continues to grow after failure of each of this act,” he said. “The paranoia continues to also grow once it realises that they cannot break the resolve and will of the people of Pakistan which actually strengthens and further grows with each such cowardly act.”
He added that this “growing frustration and paranoia” within Indian strategic circles is likely to be “further compounded” as Pakistan’s response capabilities continue to hold firm.
Lt Gen Chaudhry confirmed that the PAF possesses electronic signatures of all Indian missiles used in recent attacks, including data on their launch points and intended targets. “Our air defence systems have successfully prevented the desired objectives of India,” he said.
DG ISPR further stated that the timing of India’s missile and drone strikes on Afghanistan—coming shortly after the missile launches within Indian Punjab—suggested a “larger sinister plan to push the region and beyond into havoc.”
He warned that India was trying to drag the entire region into a catastrophic conflict. “Now you just wait for our response,” he concluded.

Earlier, DG ISPR informed that India launched six ballistic missiles from the Adampur airbase in Indian Punjab. Of these, one missile landed near the general area of Adampur itself, while the remaining five struck locations in the Amritsar region.
He characterised the incident as a reckless move that endangered civilian lives and raised serious questions about India's operational intent and internal targeting protocols.
He asserted that the attacks were not accidental. “India is deliberately targeting Sikh-populated areas in Punjab to incite hostility among Sikhs toward Pakistan,” he stated.
Speaking at a briefing for foreign media on Friday, the chief military spokesperson challenged India to present evidence, if it has any, of Pakistan’s attacks on Indian military installations with drone and missiles.
“Pakistan has not used drones or rockets. If India claims otherwise, let it present evidence,” he challenged, criticising Indian media for spreading “fabricated stories.”
DG ISPR said that the Pakistani military’s retaliation against India’s aggression was limited to the Indian military posts firing at civilian areas along the Line of Control (LoC).
Lt Gen Chaudhry was joined by PAF’s Director General Public Relations (DGPR) Air Vice Marshal Aurangzeb Ahmed, and Deputy Chief of Naval Staff (Operations) Rear Admiral Raja Rab Nawaz.
They briefed the media persons on the evolving situation at the LoC and the broader regional implications. They strongly rejected Indian accusations over the Pahalgam attack, warning that New Delhi’s actions risk destabilising regional peace.
