Pakistan’s military reported launching a series of short-range missiles into India early Saturday amid rising tensions between the two nuclear-armed nations, bringing them closer to a potential full-scale conflict. The operation was identified as “Bunyan-un-Marsoos,” a term rooted in the Koran meaning “wall of lead,” initiated in retaliation for missile and drone attacks by India.
According to Pakistan’s military, the targets included a storage facility for India’s supersonic BrahMos missile in Beas, the Udhampur Air Field in Jammu and Kashmir, and an airfield in Pathankot, Punjab.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif convened a meeting of Pakistan’s National Command Authority, responsible for overseeing the country’s nuclear capabilities. Additionally, the Pakistan Airports Authority announced the closure of the nation’s airspace until noon.
Earlier, on Wednesday, India conducted “precision strikes” on locations it identified as terrorist camps within Pakistan and the section of Kashmir administered by Pakistan. This marked India’s most significant military action against its neighbor in decades, prompted by the shooting of 26 Indians and a Nepali citizen in Pahalgam, a tourist site in Indian-administered Kashmir, on April 22. India attributes the attack to Pakistan-backed militants, an allegation that Pakistan denies.
This situation is still unfolding.
