We know well how to defend national sovereignty: COAS Gen Asim Munir
Pakistan
The operation demonstrated that Pakistan stood ready to defend its sovereignty at all costs
RAWALPINDI (Dunya News) - In a powerful response to Indian aggression, Pakistan armed forces launched Operation Bunyan-un-Marsoos, delivering a crushing blow that has not only resonated across the border but also captured global recognition for Pakistan’s military capability, unity, and resolve.
The operation demonstrated that Pakistan stood ready to defend its sovereignty at all costs.
The Armed Forces executed what they had promised, responding to provocation with overwhelming force. Multiple warnings had previously been issued to India by Pakistan Army chief Gen Asim Munir and DG ISPR, not to mistake Pakistan’s desire for peace as weakness.
Referring to verses from the Quran, Gen Munir reminded the nation that history bears witness to how smaller forces, with divine support, have triumphed over larger armies. He stated, “Alhamdulillah, history has proven that Pakistan’s Armed Forces and its people stand as an unbreakable wall in the face of aggression.”
The army chief reaffirmed that Pakistan had the defensive capability and national will to protect its territorial integrity and sovereignty, declaring that “We know well how to defend our homeland.”
He added, “India’s 1.3 million-strong military, with all its weaponry, cannot intimidate us. Our forefathers sacrificed immensely for this country, and we will continue to protect it.”
DG ISPR Lt Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry asserted that Pakistan is not a nation to be cowed by Indian aggression, adding, “Now wait for our response.”
Defense analysts noted that Pakistan’s retaliatory action has not only forced India into a defensive stance but also signaled to the world that no power can threaten Pakistan’s sovereignty. They lauded the Armed Forces for exhibiting unwavering resolve and spirit of martyrdom in the face of hostility.

Pakistan struck 26 Indian military sites in response to aggression: ISPR DG
The DG said Pakistan targeted 26 Indian military sites in response to New Delhi’s strikes that claimed innocent civilian lives. Moreover, he said the S-400 system was neutralised at two locations. He said that Pakistan downed 84 Indian drones, he added.
"Whenever our sovereignty is breached, the response will be retributive and decisive", he thundered.
Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry warned that any desire for war is akin to playing with fire, especially when both Pakistan and India are nuclear powers. He stressed that a war between the two would be a "grave folly" and warned against pursuing political goals through such dangerous ambitions.
