I want to praise our Border Security Forces, from the Director General to the last soldier stationed on the border, who courageously supported this operation. Their ground-based air systems were integral to our air defence grid, which effectively thwarted Pakistan’s malicious actions. As the saying goes, "When the will is strong, the destination is inevitable." - 12 May 2025 9:19 AM

That’s why, during the Pakistani Air Force’s heavy attacks on our airfields and logistics installations on the nights of the 9th and 10th, their attempts failed against our air defence shield — which is also displayed here for your understanding. - 12 May 2025 9:16 AM
