Pakistan Targets 26 Indian Military Bases in Major Retaliatory Strikes

ISLAMABAD: In a swift and calculated response to Indian missile attacks on PAF installations, Pakistani forces have reportedly struck over a dozen Indian military targets across multiple regions, according to intelligence sources.

The Indian media has reportedly confirmed the news that 26 locations were targeted.

The targeted locations include high-value facilities such as the BrahMos missile depot near Beas, Udhampur Airbase, and Pathankot Airfield.

These were all highly important and sensitive military installations:

• Udhampur Air Force Station (India): Located in Jammu and Kashmir, it is a strategic base for helicopter operations and has been pivotal in regional military logistics.

• Pathankot Airbase (India): Situated close to the Pakistan border, this base is crucial for air defence and has been a focal point in past conflicts.

• Beas BrahMos Missile Facility (India): This site is believed to house India’s BrahMos missile stockpile, making it a significant strategic asset.

Pakistani security officials claim these strikes were carefully chosen to neutralise India’s offensive capacities while avoiding civilian areas—a contrast to Indian actions that reportedly endangered Sikh-populated zones in Punjab.

Sources say the counter-offensive forms part of a broader operation code-named “Bunyan-un-Marsoos” with multiple strategic nodes engaged simultaneously. The strikes follow India’s earlier assault using six ballistic missiles from the Adampur airbase, which were mostly intercepted.

Military spokespersons assert that Pakistan’s measured retaliation reflects its doctrine of responsible deterrence amid growing regional instability.
