Pakistan military releases details of operation ‘Bunyanum Marsoos'
The conduct of Pakistan Armed Forces Operation 'Bunyanum Marsoos' was in response to Indian military's dastardly attacks that began on the night of 6 & 7 May 2025, resulting in the loss of innocent civilian lives, including women, children, and the elderly.
'Pakistan had vowed justice and retribution for the reprehensible Indian military aggression and brutal killings of our citizens. Alhamdulillah! Pakistan Armed Forces have delivered the promise made to our people,' it said.
'Armed Forces thank Almighty Allah for His infinite blessings, mercy, help, and divine support. Allah has ordained the believers to retaliate whenever they are wronged. We bow our heads to Him in utmost humility for enabling us to translate our resolve into decisive actions on the battlefield.'
The statement added that 'our hearts and sympathies are with the wards and families of the Shuhada who sacrificed their lives for the beloved country. We pray for the quick recovery of our injured countrymen.'
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to every officer, soldier, airman, and sailor of the Pakistan Armed Forces whose courage, professionalism, and sacrifice made this battlefield success possible, the ISPR said.
The Pakistan Armed Forces express profound appreciation to the brave Pakistani nation for their unwavering moral strength, resolve, and wholehearted support during these trying times.
This support served as the most potent force multiplier for our military.
We are especially indebted to Pakistan's youth, who served as frontline cyber and information warriors, the statement added.
Profound gratitude is due to Pakistan's vibrant media, which stood like Bunyanum Marsoos - a steel wall against Indian media's disinformation campaigns and reckless warmongering.
We acknowledge the diplomatic corps for effectively presenting Pakistan's case in international forums with clarity and conviction.
We recognize our scientists and engineers for developing indigenous, specialized technologies that proved instrumental in Operation Bunyanum Marsoos' success.
The Armed Forces are grateful to all political leadership across party lines for their unified support in defending our motherland.
Special gratitude goes to the Prime Minister and Cabinet Ministers for their decisive leadership during this critical period.
Pakistan's response demonstrated textbook tri-service integration, enabled by:
Real-time situational awareness
Network-centric warfare capabilities
Seamless multi-domain operations
This synergy across air, land, sea, and cyber domains enabled:
Precision engagement
Overwhelming lethality
Lightning operational tempo
Using Fatah-1/F-2 missiles, PAF precision munitions, loitering munitions, and long-range artillery, we engaged 26 military targets in IIOJK and mainland India, including:
Air Bases:
Suratgarh, Sirsa, Bhuj
Naliya, Adampur, Bhatinda
Barnala, Halwara, Awantipura
Srinagar, Jammu, Udhampur
Mamun, Ambala, Pathankot
Other Key Targets:
BrahMos storage (Beas/Nagrota)
S-400 batteries (Adampur/Bhuj)
Military HQs (10 Bde/80 Bde)
Intelligence units (Rajauri/Naushera)
Logistics sites (Uri/Poonch)
Throughout the operation:
Our drones demonstrated capability over New Delhi and Gujarat
Cyber operations degraded Indian military infrastructure
Responses remained precise and proportionate
Civilian casualties were carefully avoided
The spike in Indian-sponsored terrorism in KP/Balochistan during operations further proves India's direct involvement in destabilizing Pakistan, it said.
Marka-e-Haq exemplifies national unity against threats to our sovereignty, ISPR said, adding 'Let there be no doubt - any violation will meet comprehensive, decisive response.'
'They plan and Allah plans. And Allah is the best of planners.' (Surah Anfal)
Pakistan Zindabad! Pakistan Armed Forces Zindabad!

PM Shehbaz approves first-ever ‘Skills Impact Bond'
ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Friday approved the country's first-ever Skills Impact Bond, a performance-based financing model aimed at equipping the country's youth with employable, demand-driven skills to enhance their participation in national and global labour markets. The decision was taken during a high-level review meeting chaired by the prime minister on the youth employment roadmap. The Skills Impact Bond, based on a 'Pay-for-Success' mechanism, will attract private sector investment for skill development, with public or donor funds disbursed only upon achievement of independently verified outcomes such as job placements or income thresholds. PM Shehbaz directs modern IT training for youth to make Pakistan regional tech hub Highlighting the centrality of youth in Pakistan's economic development strategy, Sharif directed officials to enhance training opportunities in modern and market-aligned skill sets. 'Pakistan's talented youth are the country's most valuable asset,' he said, adding that providing quality education and employable skills would change the country's destiny. The prime minister stressed the need to prepare skilled individuals for overseas employment, including through training in local languages of potential destination countries. He instructed that a detailed roadmap, based on estimated job opportunities both domestically and internationally, be submitted for review. 'I will personally assess progress every two months,' he added. Sharif also called for a targeted awareness campaign to inform the masses, particularly the youth, about employment opportunities available through the government's Digital Youth Hub platform. Officials informed the meeting that more than 500,000 individuals have registered on the Digital Youth Hub, while over 1.7 million have downloaded the mobile application. The platform currently lists over 47,000 domestic job vacancies, 100,000 overseas opportunities, and more than 2,000 scholarships. Additionally, over 500 institutions – including Pakistani embassies, private companies, government agencies, and international NGOs such as the United Nations – are linked to the portal. The performance of relevant departments, including the Prime Minister's Youth Programme, Ministry of Overseas Pakistanis, and the National Vocational and Technical Training Commission (NAVTTC), was reviewed and termed satisfactory by the prime minister. He emphasised the importance of continued collaboration among these institutions to ensure tangible outcomes. The meeting also discussed annual employment estimates under the youth programme, which aims to promote self-sufficiency, entrepreneurship, and direct employment through targeted interventions. Federal Ministers Ahsan Iqbal and Attaullah Tarar, Chairman of the Prime Minister's Youth Programme Rana Mashhood Ahmad Khan, MNA Amna Batool, and senior government officials attended the meeting.

LAHORE: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI)'s former federal minister Hammad Azhar has decided to appear before the court after more than two years in hiding. Breaking his long silence on Friday, Azhar posted an emotional message on the social media platform X, expressing his grief over the death of his father, former Punjab Governor Mian Azhar, and explained the reasons for his decision. He was facing legal pressure, with several cases reportedly registered against him since the crackdown on the PTI leaders began following the May 9, 2023, events and other political developments. In his message, he said he was the only son of his parents, the brother of three sisters and the father of two minor children, and his family has endured more pain and suffering than him for more than two years. 'Obviously, I want to be with my family, especially my mother, in this hour of sorrow,' he added. 'I am innocent but has been involved in fake criminal cases. I will approach the court in this regard and seek justice. If I get it, I will thank Allah, and if I do not get it, I will endure more oppression with perseverance and patience. Indeed, Allah is the supporter of the patient,' he said. He expressed gratitude to those who offered condolences and attended his father's funeral, saying, 'On behalf of myself and my family, I am grateful to the thousands of colleagues who attended my father's funeral and Quran recitation, and to the millions of people who sent messages of condolence and prayed for his forgiveness. We are also grateful to the leaders of all political parties who spoke kind words in his memory and prayed for my father, the late Mian Azhar. My father's legacy is nobility, honesty and devotion, which is an asset and a wonderful tradition not only for me but for the political culture of the entire Pakistan.'
