ISLAMABAD, MAY 11: Addressing a press briefing, DG ISPR Lt Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry said the presser was aimed to apprised the nation on the conduct and conclusion of ‘Operation Bunyan-um-Marsoos’ — a military campaign launched in response to Indian aggression that began on the night of May 6 and 7, resulting in the loss of civilian lives, including women and children.
He noted that Pakistan had pledged justice and retribution for the reprehensible Indian military strikes and brutal civilian casualties. “Pakistan armed forces have fulfilled the promise that made to our people.”
THE Director General of the Inter-Services Public Relations (DG ISPR) emphasized that Pakistan exercised considerable restraint and professionalism during its response to Indian aggression. He clarified that only a limited portion of Pakistan’s military capabilities were employed, showcasing the country’s desire to avoid escalation and maintain regional peace.
“Our response was calibrated and proportionate,” said the DG ISPR. “We deliberately targeted only military installations to send a clear message: Pakistan has the capability and the will to respond, but it does not desire war.”
He noted that even Indian military officials had acknowledged that the Pakistani strikes hit military targets and avoided civilian casualties. This, he said, demonstrated Pakistan’s commitment to international norms and responsible conduct during conflict.
The DG ISPR further revealed that it was India that ultimately sought a ceasefire, recognizing the intensity and precision of Pakistan’s response. He underlined that Pakistan’s military did not wish for further escalation but was fully prepared to respond to any aggression.
Pakistan Air Force (PAF) officials described the technical and tactical aspects of the aerial engagements, highlighting the high level of preparedness and professionalism displayed by PAF pilots. They shared declassified footage of the operation to demonstrate how targets were carefully chosen and successfully hit without crossing the Line of Control (LoC).
Pakistan Navy officials discussed their state of readiness and deployment during the standoff, noting that naval assets had been mobilized in anticipation of any potential maritime escalation. They reiterated that the Navy was fully prepared to respond to threats from the sea, and maintained a deterrent posture throughout the crisis.
