🇵🇰BREAKING: Pakistan has initiated a military campaign dubbed Operation Bunyanun Marsoos ('Concrete Structure') in response to what it calls 'continued Indian provocations,' escalating tensions between the nuclear-armed neighbors. The operation reportedly targeted multiple Indian sites, including a BrahMos missile storage facility in Beas city.
💥 Key developments:
- India allegedly struck three Pakistani air bases earlier this week, but Pakistani officials claim their strategic defenses remain intact.
- Pakistan’s military accused India of launching missile and drone attacks on installations in Punjab province, including bases near Islamabad.
- A senior Pakistani officer stated India also conducted strikes in Afghanistan, calling the actions 'reckless madness.'
🗣️Pakistan’s Warning: "Now you just wait for our response," declared Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry, emphasizing regional instability. The spat follows April’s deadly tourist attack in Kashmir, a disputed region that remains a flashpoint.
🌏 Why it matters: With both nations having conducted air strikes in 2019 and 2022, this escalation risks further destabilizing South Asia. Global powers are likely monitoring closely amid fears of broader conflict.
