Pakistan has suffered significant losses, with 40 civilians and 11 soldiers martyred, and 199 others, including women and children, injured, following unprovoked attacks by Indian forces on the night of May 6-7.
The Indian forces targeted non-combatants, including vulnerable groups such as women, children, and the elderly, in what Pakistan described as a cowardly and reprehensible act of aggression. Among the martyrs were 7 women and 15 children, while 121 civilians were injured, including 10 women and 27 children.

In retaliation, the Pakistan Armed Forces launched Operation Bunyanum Marsoos under the broader Marka-e-Haq initiative, delivering effective and precise strikes against enemy positions. The military’s response was swift and proportionate to the scale of the attack. Tragically, 11 Pakistani military personnel laid down their lives in the line of duty, while 78 others were injured.
