India carried out attacks on several Pakistani cities and air bases last month following the Pahalgam attack that happened on April 22.
In response, the Pakistani armed forces launched “Operation Bunyan-um-Marsoos,” a large-scale military counteraction, on May 10. They hit multiple Indian military targets in various regions.
Pakistan claimed it shot down six Indian fighter jets, including three Rafales, along with several drones. The conflict between the two nuclear-armed countries lasted 87 hours and ended on May 10 after the United States stepped in to mediate a ceasefire agreement.
The clash between the two nations began after an April attack in IIOJK killed 26 tourists. India accused Pakistan of being responsible but did not provide proof.
Pakistan promoted COAS Munir to field marshal. This promotion acknowledged his fearless leadership defense of the country’s borders, and bold actions to protect the nation’s sovereignty.
