IRECTOR General InterServices Public Relations (DG ISPR) Lt Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry on Sunday firmly said that no one should have any doubt that whenever Pakistan’s sovereignty is threatened or its territorial integrity violated, the response will be comprehensive, retributive, and decisive. Addressing a press conference along with the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) Air Vice Marshal Aurangzeb Ahmed and Deputy Chief of Naval Staff (Operations) Vice Admiral Raja Rab Nawaz, he said, “No one should have any doubt that whenever our sovereignty would be threatened and territorial integrity violated, the response would be comprehensive, retributive and decisive.” While sharing the details of Bunyam Marsoos operation, he said, 26 military targets as well as facilities that were used to target Pakistani citizens and those enterprises that were responsible for fomenting terrorism
in Pakistan were engaged in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir and also mainland India. “The targets included Air Force and aviation bases at Suratgarh, Sirsa, Adampur, Bhuj, Nalia, Bathinda, Barnala, Harwara, Avantipura, Srinagar, Jammu, Mamoon, Ambala, Udampur and Pathankot — all of which sustained major damages”, he detailed. He added that BrahMos facilities, which had fired missiles in Pakistan and killed innocent civilians, were also destroyed. He said that S-400 battery system at Adhampur and Bhuj was also attacked by proud Pakistan Air Force. “Military logistic and support sites which helped sustain this unlawful operation against innocent Pakistani civilians like field supply depot at Uri and radar station at Poonch were also targeted,” he added. He said, military command headquarters, which helped plan the operation killing of innocent citizens, including 10th and 80th Brigade at KG Top and Nowshera were destroyed.
Lt-Gen Chaudhry said that facilities which harboured train and capacity proxy elements that perpetrate terrorist attacks inside Pakistan which kill innocent civilians were specifically identified and destroyed. The DG ISPR said, across the line of control, military elements including headquarters, logistic bases, artillery positions and posts that had caused civilian casualties in Azad, Jammu and Kashmir through unprovoked artillery and small arms fire were relentlessly targeted and heavily damaged until they raised white flags and asked for restraint. The military spokesperson said, Pakistan had brought justice and retribution for reprehensible Indian military’s aggression and brutal killings of our citizens. Lt-Gen Chaudhry said that during the operation Bunyam Marsoos Pakistan’s response was a textbook demonstration of integrated tri-services jointness enabled by real-time situational awareness, network-centric warfare capabilities and seamless multi-domain operations.
