Pakistan mourns 11 soldiers, 40 civilians killed in Indian aggression
ISLAMABAD (MNTV) – At least 11 Pakistani soldiers and 40 civilians, including seven women and 15 children, were killed in what Pakistan’s military described as “unprovoked and reprehensible dastardly attacks” by India, according to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR).
The ISPR reported that 78 soldiers and 121 civilians also sustained injuries in the aggression.
A statement issued by the military identified the fallen soldiers from the Pakistan Army as Naik Abdul Rehman, Lance Naik Dilawar Khan, Lance Naik Ikramullah, Naik Waqar Khalid, Sepoy Muhammad Adeel Akbar, and Sepoy Nisar.
From the Pakistan Air Force, the deceased include Squadron Leader Usman Yousuf, Chief Technician Aurangzeb, Senior Technician Najeeb, Corporal Technician Farooq, and Senior Technician Mubashir.
“Their noble sacrifice of martyrs is an enduring symbol of courage, devotion, and unwavering patriotism — etched forever in the nation’s memory,” the ISPR said.
The military vowed a decisive response to any future attempts to undermine Pakistan’s sovereignty or territorial integrity.
“Let there be no ambiguity: any attempt to challenge Pakistan’s sovereignty or territorial integrity, ever again, shall be met with a swift, full-spectrum, and decisive response,” the statement said.
This comes amid heightened tensions between the nuclear-armed neighbors, with both sides exchanging allegations of cross-border hostilities following recent clashes.
On May 7, India launched predawn attacks on what it called multiple “terror sites” across Pakistan to “avenge” the April 22 killing of 26 men, almost all of them tourists, in Indian-administered Kashmir’s resort town of Pahalgam.
New Delhi accused Islamabad of backing the gunmen.
Pakistan denied its involvement and demanded an impartial international investigation into the attack.
International calls for restraint and de-escalation achieved a temporary truce, but the situation along the Line of Control remains volatile.
