I know, I'm just pointing out where it is. I saw some Indians online saying "KG Top" is a made up place by ISPR.

There's hopefully some satellite imagery of these bases, including the posts ISPR directly mentioned.

There is another interesting article I found on Reuters: https://www.reuters.com/world/india...fficial-reuters-witness-residents-2025-05-10/
It's talking about blasts at the "local army headquarters", which could be the corps headquarters at Badami Bagh cantt. There was a media blackout in India so it's hard to know exactly what that was. WION mentions it briefly too but no further information.
 

PAF response based on ‘time and place of own choosing’: Air Vice Marshal Aurangzeb​


Air Vice Marshal Aurangzeb, while describing Pakistan’s response to the Indian Air Force, said the PAF’s response was based “on the time and place of own choosing”, displaying “bold, aggressive and unwavering resolve of the brave military leadership”.

“I must appreciate the leadership … they were resolute and clear in giving instructions to all of us and that is perhaps the reason why we were so sure about what we had to do,” he said.

“With unprecedented reach, precision and lethality, while avoiding collateral, the PAF hit maximum number of IAF airfields in a single operational package since 1971 because they crossed the international border,” the officer said.

“While reestablishing deterrence, Pakistan negated the setting of a new normal under the hegemonistic design of a supremist regime through swift and effective response.”

China would be need to set up a carrots and sticks type of policy. Where there is investment offered that is contingent on their disarming the TTP and dissolving them as an organization. They aren't going to Turn them over, but then can be pressured to dismantle the organization.

Pakistan really wasted 20 years with how Afghanistan went, 20 years behind in development, 20 years behind in border infrastructure. Amercian money was flowing for 20 years and there still isn't a solid wall/barrier on the durand line, something the US would have gladly paid for as the taliban issue was a headache for them for 20 years. Just so much oversight in how things were managed.

Its still not too late, that border needs to be solidified if there is to ever be hope for security in Pakistan. Otherwise the insurgency will bleed Pakistan and its economy to death. Without dealing with the insurgency there can be no economic development.

Pakistan's Afghan policy has always been a joke. Take this from someone who remembers the back end of the 80s and 90s and refugee crisis.
 

Enemy fully understood the cost of venturing from the sea, says Vice Admiral Nawaz​


“There was a hype about INS Vikrant approaching Karachi. We were keeping a very close eye on the activities at sea […] we were monitoring it from day one.

“On the night of May 6 and 7, it was close to Bombay and on May 9, it was essentially 400 nautical miles from the Pakistani coast and it retreated close to Bombay,” Vice Admiral Nawaz said.

“If a carrier gets within 400 nautical miles, it simplifies our problem. The Navy maritime air arm was proper ready to generate a response at all times and I was in contact with Deputy Chief of Air Staff Aurangzeb at all times. If there was any aggression from the sea we were ready to respond effectively.”

“As a pro military officer, I don’t want to underestimate the enemy, but let’s put some things in perspective. The Vikrant sails with 8-12 MiG-29s — barely essential to carry out its own air defence.”

“So the enemy fully understood the cost they would have to pay for venturing from the sea, and so they didn’t,” he added.
 

Defended Pakistan’s sea frontiers from a numerically superior enemy: Vice Admiral Rab Nawaz​


Vice Admiral Rab Nawaz has said the Pakistan Navy was able to defend the country’s sea frontiers from a “numerically superior enemy”.

“On any given day of the year, we maintain perpetual readiness. Our ships and submarines are stocked up and for us, the transition for peace to war is not only swift, it is invisible,” he said.

“When this false flag thing happened in Indian-occupied Kashmir, we immediately mobilised and completed the operational deployment of Pakistan Navy fleet units and coastal command units in a matter of hours. Our subs, our ships and aircraft were in their respective areas and we were ready to thwart any aggression from the sea.”

He highlighted that maritime domain awareness was knowing what was happening in the area of interest. “That is critical for naval operations. To generate any response, you need to be aware of what’s happening in your area of responsibility and we were maintaining 24/7 vision at sea.”
 
Congratulations to our brave and valiant forces (PN, PAF and PA) for successfully defending the motherland.
However, they should take note and if the bharti-turds do try a repeat misadventure of any kind, next time there should be NO RESTRAINT. Then go destroy them for generations to come. Strike them in all their hubs and raze it to the ground. That will show them and their supporters that its a seriouls business.

My bigger concern is why do our people-in-charge still listen or give importance to the USA anymore. I mean, its a crumbling empire, its obvious (even Canada where we live) you can see the signs of deterioration of their so-called modern society.
Rampant drug usages, addictions of their populations to easy lifestyles, zombie cities, declining law and order, people struggling with daily life battles and hyperinflation. Then the tarriff situations. This will not be sustainable and these economies can no longer handle wars or even supporting a defunct nato now against the russians. Ukraine support is having a big effect on the situations here as there's no money left for locals.
Pakistan's geographical location gives it a huuuge advantage. Even closing civilian airspace to india is inflicting daily damage to its airlines and revenues. The day we tell uncle sam to go buzz himself, it (usa) will crumble as nobody in the region would listen to them and they will lose their say here. While at it, Pakistan needs to scrutinize and reduce the amount of unnecessary staff at its embassies in Pakistan. Jab visas nahi denay, USAID band hogai to itne loag embassy ki fortress mei rakhne ki zarorat kya hai. Deport the spies. They aren't giving spares or upgrades to F16, so why bother with them.

Dunia waise he jungon ke dehany pe khari hai, we dont need these troublemakers on our soil, kick them out ASAP. I have a feeling all their "intel gathering" is being done from the embassy in Islamabad.
 

Pakistan’s military tech used with restraint in conflict with India: DG ISPR​


“Let me tell you, Pakistan Armed Forces possess an adequate suite of very sophisticated, niche military tech, only some of which were used with restraint in this conflict. There are many more capabilities being kept as future surprises,” the DG ISPR said.

“Despite all this, let me say that compared to India’s relentless provocations, Pakistan’s military response has been precise, proportionate and still remarkably restrained.”

He added that it was carefully calibrated to avoid civilian casualties and exclusively targeted entities that were directly involved in executing killings and attacks inside Pakistan.
 

Pakistan’s response to India a ‘textbook demonstration’, says DG ISPR​


In a press conference after India-Pakistan ceasefire, DG ISPR said Pakistan’s response was a “textbook demonstration” of integrated tri-services, enabled by real-time situational awareness, network-centric warfare capabilities and seamless multidomain operations.

“This synergy across air, land, sea and cyber domains allowed for precision engagements, overwhelming lethality and rapid tempo,” he said.

“Using precision-guided long range Fatah missiles F1 and 2 of the Pakistan Army, precision munitions of PAF, highly capable long range loitering killer munitions and precision long range artillery.”

Pakistan armed forces have delivered promises made to nation: DG ISPR​


Director General of the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Lt Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry says the Pakistan Army has delivered its promises made to the nation.

Addressing a press conference alongside Director General Public Relations (DGPR) of the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) Air Vice Marshal Aurangzeb Ahmed and Deputy Chief of Naval Staff (Operations) Vice Admiral Raja Rab Nawaz, following the ceasefire with India after days of military engagement, he says: “Today we shall apprise you of the conduct and conclusion of Operation Bunyan-um-Marsoos, the dastardly attacks that began on the night of May 6 and 7 2025, resulting in the loss of innocent civilian lives including women, children and elderly.”

“Pakistan had vowed justice and retribution for the reprehensible Indian military aggression and brutal killing of our civilians.”

Ex-NSA Moeed Yusuf hopes Pakistan-India crisis will ‘offer a lesson’ on bilateral mechanisms​


Pakistan’s former national security advisor Moeed Yusuf has expressed hopes that the Pakistan-India crisis will serve to be a lesson on bilateral mechanisms.

In a series of posts on X, he said: “India does not like to have third party involvement in peacetime dialogues between itself and Pakistan but the fact is that it has been eager and proactive in soliciting third party support during crisis moments ever since Kargil.”

“Sometimes it has worked for India, other times not. Pakistan too has looked to the third party consistently. Both have the third party built into their crisis calculus.

“This crisis was no different. India initiated the most serious outreach. I don’t understand why Indian govts don’t accept this reality. Nothing is embarrassing about reaching out to a third party if we don’t have good bilateral escalation control mechanisms in South Asia,” he said.

There are various reasons for it - not identical in each crisis - but it has consistently been the case.Sometimes it has worked for India, other times not. Pakistan too has looked to the third party consistently. Both have the third party built into their crisis calculus.


This crisis was no different. India initiated the most serious outreach. I don't understand why Indian govts don't accept this reality. Nothing is embarrassing about reaching out to a third party if we don't have good bilateral escalation control mechanisms in South Asia.
