In a bold yet calculated response to India’s provocative Operation Sandford, Pakistan launched Operation Bunyan al-Marsus (The Unbreakable Wall) on May 10, 2025. This military operation, named after the Quranic expression found in Surah As-Saff (61:4), reflects both the spiritual resolve and strategic unity of the Pakistani Armed Forces in the defense of national sovereignty and regional peace.
The verse states: “Indeed, Allah loves those who fight in His cause in a row as though they are a [single] structure joined firmly.” – [Qur’an 61:4]
This reference encapsulates the unity and discipline with which the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) and Pakistan Army executed the retaliatory strikes.
A Strategic and Proportionate Response: Pakistan’s military action targeted key Indian military installations in Jammu, Kashmir, and Punjab. According to official ISPR sources, air and missile strikes focused on air force bases, missile depots, and command-and-control nodes-ensuring no civilian infrastructure was harmed. Precision weaponry, surveillance drones, and hypersonic capabilities demonstrated Pakistan’s evolving deterrent posture.
The Pakistan Air Force, operating under strict rules of engagement, neutralized key threats with surgical efficiency. Meanwhile, the Pakistan Army, maintaining heightened alert across the Line of Control and Working Boundary, ensured no territorial incursions occurred.
As per national desire: Pakistan’s armed forces once again proved their readiness and professionalism. Military analysts have praised the PAF’s rapid deployment and interception capability, while ground forces demonstrated seamless coordination, high morale, and strategic depth.
President and Prime Minister both commended the armed forces for their swift and proportionate response, reinforcing Pakistan’s commitment to peace but also its preparedness to defend its integrity.
Ceasefire and Regional Implications: Late on May 10, both nations agreed to a temporary ceasefire, facilitated through backchannel diplomacy from the USA, other friendly countries and pressure on Indian people against the war.
Role of Pakistani: Nation in the success of defence forces the success of Pakistan’s Armed Forces during Operation Bunyan al-Marsus cannot be viewed in isolation from the unshakable unity of the Pakistani nation. In times of national crisis, it is not only weapons and tactics that win battles-it is also the collective resolve of a united people.
From major cities to border villages, the people of Pakistan stood as one, expressing unwavering support for the military. Citizens hoisted national flags, offered prayers in mosques and churches, and organized blood drives and relief efforts for affected communities. Social media, town halls, and public forums became spaces of encouragement, pride, and unity.
This civil-military harmony boosted the morale of troops on the front lines, affirming that they did not stand alone. The armed forces drew strength not just from command orders, but from the knowledge that an entire nation stood behind them like a “buny?n mar??s” (an unbreakable wall).
Pakistan’s unity-across provinces, ethnicities, and political divides-sent a clear message to the world: national security is a shared responsibility, and when the people and military are aligned in vision and spirit, no threat is insurmountable.
