It is important to mention here that India launched indiscriminate attacks on several Pakistani cities during the night of May 6 and 7.
In response, Pakistan’s Armed Forces launched a massive retaliation, called “Operation Bonyan Um-Marsos”, and on May 10 targeted several Indian military targets in several areas.
Pakistan dropped its six fighter jets, including three Rafael, and dozens of drones. At least 87 hours later, the war between the two nuclear armed countries ended May 10 with a ceasefire agreement by the United States.
According to the ISPR, during the recent military confrontation, Indian strikes, including 13 personnel and 40 civilians, were involved in a total of 53 people, including 13 people.
Last month’s attack in the IIOJK launched a military clash between the two countries in which 26 tourists were killed, in which India accused of attacking without any evidence.
