International Desk : Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has convened an emergency meeting of the National Command Authority (NCA) as Pakistan`s military continues Operation Bunyan-un-Marsoos, a major retaliatory campaign in response to Indian missile and drone attacks earlier this week.

The National Command Authority (NCA) is the highest civilian and military body responsible for the command, control, and operational decisions regarding Pakistan`s nuclear weapons program and strategic assets. The NCA also sets policy for all strategic nuclear forces and strategic organisations

According to security sources, the operation—launched in the early hours of Saturday—has targeted multiple high-value Indian military installations. Confirmed strikes include the destruction of the BrahMos missile storage site in Beas, Udhampur Airbase, Pathankot airfield, and Adampur Airfield, which was reportedly used to launch missiles into Amritsar, Pakistan, and Afghanistan.

Security officials further reported that India’s brigade headquarters at G-Top and the supply depot in Uri have been destroyed. In addition, Pakistan has targeted and neutralised an Indian artillery position in Dehrangyari and a BrahMos storage site in Nagrota, with reports of heavy losses.

Officials also confirmed that Pakistan launched its Al-Fatah missile during the operation, naming it in honour of innocent Pakistani children killed in earlier Indian strikes. "Pakistan has neither forgotten nor will ever forget the sacrifices of these children," a security source stated.

As the military operation continues, the Pakistan Air Force remains on high alert. Airspace across the country was closed earlier in the day until noon as a precautionary measure.
