ISLAMABAD: The diplomatic relations between Pakistan and India have always been on the brink, with several military standoffs and wars. After almost a week of drone attacks, firing, and missile attacks along the Line of Control (LoC), Pakistan and India agreed to accept the full and immediate ceasefire just hours after Pakistan launched Operation Bunyan Marsoos on May 10, 2025.
On the morning of May 10, the Pakistan army, at the time of prayers, launched the operation Bunyan Marsoos and targeted several locations in India, which caused huge damage to the national assets of India.
The government of Pakistan warned Indian forces to stop the operation, but the Indian government continued the operation, which led Pakistan to launch Operation Bunyan Marsoos against the Indian aggression.
