Former Director -General of Pakistan’s military media wing, General Bill (Ret.) Asif Ghafoor, issued a strict warning to India on Saturday and said New Delhi had repeatedly been warned not to test Pakistan’s determination.

In a post on social media platform x (formerly twitter), Ghafoor shared the Quranic verse “Nasrum my Allah Wa Fathun Qareeb” (“Help from Allah and Victory are near”) along with messages aimed at Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

“Modi, you were repeatedly warned not to test our determination and not mess with Pakistan,” Ghafoor wrote. “This is just a post – how would you meet Pakistan’s armed forces?”

The former ISPR chief, formerly commanding the Quetta Corps of the Pakistani Army, also claimed that X had hidden one of his tweets, which included a picture criticizing Indian actions.

Labeling of Indian Prime Minister directly accused Asif Ghafoor India of being a “terrorist state” and condemned New Delhi’s policies in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) and called them a “worst screen” against innocent cashmere.

The comments come in the midst of increased military tensions between India and Pakistan after cross-border strikes earlier this week and Pakistan’s launch of Operation Bunyan-Un-Maroos in response.

Pakistan began retaliation in response to the ongoing Indian aggression during the small hours on Saturday.

As part of the operation, all bases identified as launch points are targeted for attacks on Pakistani civilians and mosques specifically.

Several strategic goals are engaged at the same time as the operation progresses, security sources are confirmed.

They said Pakistan launched his al-Fatah missile as part of the ongoing retaliatory surgery and named it in honor of the Pakistani children who lost their lives in recent Indian aggression.

They added that Pakistan has neither forgotten nor will ever forget about the sacrifice of these innocent children who were martyrated during cross -border attacks by Indian forces earlier this week.

Tensions between India and Pakistan escalated sharply after the April 22 attack in Pahaldam, located in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK), leaving 26 people died. India accused Pakistan-based elements of the attack without providing evidence. Islamabad categorically rejected the accusations.

In response, India closed the Wagah Land border, recalled Pakistani Visa and announced the suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty on April 23. Pakistan felt any disturbance of the treaty as an “act of war” and then sealed the Wagah junction on its side.

The situation deteriorated further on May 6 and 7, with explosions reported in several Pakistani cities, including Muzaffarabad, Kotli, Murideke and Bahawalpur. Pakistan’s military spokesman, General Bill Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry, confirmed that Indian air strikes had targeted several locations. Pakistan responded with air and soil operations during a new military campaign called Operation Bunyan-Un-Marsoos.

Within the retaliation of the first hour, Pakistan claimed to have shut down five Indian fighter jets, including four Rafale aircraft. LT Gen Chaudhry declared that Pakistan had the capacity to fall more, but exercised restraint. Indian media provided limited coverage with a report of Hindu later withdrawn.

International observers, including analysts at CNN, noted that Rafale -jet aircraft has challenged India’s tale of regional air superiority. A senior French intelligence officer also confirmed the loss of a Rafale aircraft to CNN – the first fight loss for the jet.

In addition, Pakistan’s armed forces reported and neutralized 77 Israeli-made Harop drones allegedly launched by India. According to Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the drones were brought down using a mixture of electronic warfare and conventional air defense systems.
