Pakistan launched precision missile strikes against India under Operation Bunyan Um Marsoos.

Bunyan Ul Marsoos is an Arabic verse from the Quran.

The operation’s name—meaning “a structure firmly joined together”—draws inspiration from Surah Al-Saff (61-4), which praises those who fight in Allah’s cause as a solid, fortified structure.

إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الَّذِينَ يُقَاتِلُونَ فِي سَبِيلِهِ صَفًّا كَأَنَّهُم بُنْيَانٌ مَّرْصُوصٌ

Translation: ‘Allah indeed loves those who fight in His Way as though they are a solid wall cemented with molten lead’ (Surah Al-Saff, verse 4).

This operation was launched on 10 May 2025 (after Fajr prayer)

Seven sites in India were targeted, including the key Pathankot air base, Udhampur air base, and Gujarat air base. Rajasthan air base and Brahmos storage site.

The operation was launched in retaliation for Indian missile strikes that hit several locations inside Pakistan.
