Overview
- The military spokesman, who briefed reporters Thursday with Navy and Air Force leaders, said Pakistan defeated an adversary five times larger and insisted there is no space for war between the nuclear neighbors.
- An ISPR statement issued overnight between May 6 and 7 warned any hostile design would face greater strength, precision and resolve, and it cast the PAF’s modernization as proof of that readiness.
- Air Chief Marshal Zaheer Ahmed Baber Sidhu said the PAF ran full‑spectrum operations, brought down Rafale jets, and neutralized an S‑400 air‑defense battery while Pakistani cyber units hit Indian networks.
- Pakistan’s UN mission said last year’s response was lawful under the UN Charter, as civilian leaders used the anniversary to stress unity and a faster, more coordinated Army‑Navy‑Air Force reply to any new attack.
- The 2025 flare‑up followed the April 22 Pahalgam attack, India’s May 7 strikes inside Pakistan, and a May 10 ceasefire announced by President Donald Trump after days of cross‑border fire.
