In retaliation to India's recent barrage of attacks, Pakistan has launched a counterattack on India, named Operation Bunyan-un-Marsus, with missiles.
Security sources say Pakistan is currently conducting a counter-attack against India on hard military targets, as at least three 'Fatah 2' missiles have been fired at Indian targets. Currently, the Pakistan military is targeting multiple targets all across India. As per details, Indian BrahMos missile storage site in Beas has been knocked out in the first instance.
Furthermore, airfields in Udhampur, Adampur, Suratgarh, Sirsa, Bathinda, Akhnoor, Halwara and Pathankot have also been destroyed, as per security sources. They said all the bases from where Pakistan was attacked are being targeted. The most damage so far has been done by the 'Fatah 2' missile.
Casualties and damage
According to the Indian media, a senior Indian administrative officer has been killed in Rajouri in the ongoing attacks. Moreover, Indian artillery gun position Dehrangyari has been destroyed, as well as the BrahMos storage site Nagrota in India-held Kashmir with heavy losses reported.
The Indian media has admitted that Pakistan targeted 26 locations in India. Meanwhile, Pakistani drones are reported to have reached New Delhi and are flying over the Indian capital. One drone is also said to have hit the Indian city of Ferozepur.
List of targets and damage
Furthermore, Pakistan's political and military leadership has taken an important decision that the country will give a categorical response to any further Indian action to Pakistani response. It says if India commits further aggression, its high-value economic targets will be hit.
"If India moves, the consequences will be serious," warns Pakistan's political and military leadership.
On the other hand, Pakistan’s airspace will remain closed to all types of flights until 12 noon today, following recent Indian aggression, according to a spokesperson for the Pakistan Airports Authority.
The flight schedule at Islamabad Airport has been disrupted after a recent attack in Rawalpindi. Departures of both national and private airline flights from Islamabad Airport have been delayed. Neither flight departed at the scheduled time after the completion of passenger check-in.

Security sources say the attempted Indian attack near Chaklala's Nur Khan Airbase has been foiled.
In a hurriedly called news conference on Friday night, ISPR chief Lt Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry explained that India fired missiles from air to ground, targeting Nur Khan Air Base, Mureed Base in Chakwal and the Shorkot base.
"However, all assets of the Pakistan Air Force are safe, as most of the missiles were intercepted by Pakistan's air defence system, and the ones that fell on the ground did not cause any loss," the DG assured. "Now you wait for our response."
He also revealed that India also fired missiles in Afghanistan. "India is pushing the entire region into war," the military spokesperson declared. "Pakistan is thwarting all acts of aggression by India, reflecting India's paranoia after failure of all these acts."
