Pakistan Launches ‘Operation Bunyan al Marsoos’ Against India - Bol News

Pakistan has responded to India's military operation against Pakistan-administered Kashmir by launching its own offensive, dubbed 'Operation Bunyan al Marsoos'. The operation comes in response to India's "Operation Sindoor," which targeted "terrorist infrastructure" in Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir [1].

Pakistan's military spokesperson, Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry, confirmed that at least three people, including a child, were killed by Indian strikes in Pakistan. The strikes targeted locations in Kotli, Ahmadpur East, Muzaffarabad, Bagh, and Muridke [1].

The escalation of tensions between India and Pakistan has led to significant disruptions in air traffic. Major airlines such as Air France and Lufthansa have suspended flights over Pakistan due to the heightened tensions. Additionally, India's military is much larger and better funded than Pakistan's, with a defense budget more than nine times that of Pakistan's [2].

The latest developments underscore the complex and volatile political and military landscape in the region, which has seen three wars over Kashmir. The most recent escalation was sparked by the massacre of 26 civilians in Pahalgam, Indian-controlled Kashmir, last month. India accused Pakistan of being involved in the attack, a claim Islamabad denies [1].

The ongoing conflict and military operations have significant implications for the region's economic and financial stability. The disruption in air traffic and the potential for further escalation could impact regional trade and investment. Additionally, the military operations could strain the economies of both countries, potentially leading to increased defense spending and reduced economic growth.
