Rawalpindi, 13 May 2025:
On the night of 6-7 May 2025, the Indian Armed Forces launched unprovoked and reprehensible dastardly attacks targeting innocent civilians, including women, children, and the elderly. These barbaric strikes resulted in the martyrdom of 40 civilians—among them 7 women and 15 children—while 121 others sustained injuries, including 10 women and 27 children.
In response to this grave aggression, the Pakistan Armed Forces mounted a resolute response under the banner of Marka-e-Haq, delivering precise and notch-up retributive strikes through Operation Bunyanum Marsoos.
While defending the motherland with exemplary valour, 12 personnel of the Pakistan Armed Forces embraced martyrdom and 78 were wounded.
The martyrs from the Pakistan Army include:
Havildar Muhammad Naveed
Naik Abdul Rehman
Naik Waqar Khalid
Lance Naik Dilawar Khan
Lance Naik Ikramullah
Sepoy Muhammad Adeel Akbar
Sepoy Nisar
The martyrs from the Pakistan Air Force include:
Squadron Leader Usman Yousuf
Chief Technician Aurangzeb
Senior Technician Najeeb
Corporal Technician Farooq

The noble sacrifice of martyrs is an enduring symbol of courage, devotion, and unwavering patriotism—etched forever in the nation’s memory.
The Pakistan Armed Forces, together with the people of Pakistan, pay solemn tribute to the martyred civilians and military personnel, and offer heartfelt prayers for the swift recovery of the injured.
The nation remains resolute in the face of aggression. Let there be no ambiguity: any attempt to challenge Pakistan’s sovereignty or territorial integrity, ever again, shall be met with a swift, full-spectrum, and decisive response Inshallah.
