In its official statement, the ISPR honored the fallen as symbols of unmatched courage, selflessness, and patriotism.
“The sacrifices of our heroes are eternal. They stand as a testament to our nation’s resilience and unity,” said the ISPR.
The statement further noted that the armed forces and the people of Pakistan stand united in offering their deepest condolences to the bereaved families, while vowing that the nation will never forget its martyrs.
Operation Bunyan-um-Marsoos was launched in response to unprovoked Indian shelling across the Line of Control on May 6 and 7, during which Pakistani military and civilians sustained significant losses.
