In retaliation for India's 'Operation Sindoor,' Pakistan launched 'Operation Bunyān al-Marsūs.' Citing security sources, Pakistani media reported that Pakistani forces destroyed the BrahMos missile storage site in India's Biyas region.


Pakistan also claimed to have destroyed the airbase in Udhampur and the airfield in Pathankot. Islamabad said it is targeting all bases that India used to launch attacks on Pakistani territory.


The Pakistani Armed Forces have destroyed an Indian brigade headquarters, according to their claims. Pakistan Radio reported that Pakistani forces completely destroyed the supply depot in Uri. The report also alleged that a cyberattack disabled 70 percent of India's power grid.


Reports stated that the Pakistan Air Force used its JF-17 Thunder, equipped with a hypersonic missile, to destroy India's S-400 air defense system in Adampur. The S-400 system carries an estimated value of $1.5 billion. Pakistan claimed that it struck multiple targets across India and Indian-administered Kashmir.


The Indian military targets that Pakistan claimed to have hit include the KG Top Brigade Headquarters, the Area Supply Depot in Uri, an artillery gun position in Derangyari, the BrahMos battery site in Nagrota, the Udhampur airbase, the Pathankot airfield, and the Suratgarh airfield.


Most of these locations lie near or along the Line of Control, the de facto border dividing the disputed Kashmir region between New Delhi and Islamabad. India has also claimed that it is actively responding to Pakistan's attacks.
