The Indian media outlets’ “baseless and misleading claims” that Pakistan employed nuclear-capable Shaheen missiles during Operation Bunyan-um-Marsoos, which was conducted in response to India’s unjustified aggression, were emphatically denied by the Foreign Office on Monday.
FO spokesperson Shafqat Ali Khan denounced the claims as “unfounded” and a part of a larger disinformation campaign in an official statement.
“Operation Bunyan-um-Marsoos” was a massive retaliatory military strike that was launched by Pakistani forces, targeting different Indian military objectives in various places.
Officials characterized the strikes as “precise and proportionate” and said they were carried out in reaction to India’s ongoing aggression—which New Delhi claimed was directed at “terrorist targets”—both inside Pakistan’s territory and across the Line of Control (LoC).
