The armed forces of Pakistan launched a large-scale military reprisal action, called “Operation Bunyan-Um-Marsoos”, and targeted several Indian military targets in several regions.
The strikes, described by managers as “precise and proportionate”, were carried out in response to the continuous aggression of India through the control line (LOC) and in the territory of Pakistan, which said New Delhi was targeting the “terrorist targets”.
Pakistan has shot down six Indian fighter planes, including three bursts and dozens of drones. After at least 87 hours, the war, caused by India, ended on May 10 with a cease-fire agreement negotiated by the United States.
According to ISPR, a total of 53 people, including 13 staff of the armed forces and 40 civilians, were martyred in Indian strikes during the recent military confrontation.
The military confrontation between the two countries was launched by the attack last month in Jammu and Kashmir (Iiojk), was the subject of 26 tourists, accusing Pakistan for the attack without offering.
