Two more Pakistani soldiers injured in Indian strikes earlier this month have succumbed to their wounds, raising the total martyrdom toll to 13, the military’s media wing confirmed on Wednesday. The attacks occurred during India’s cross-border aggression on the night of May 6-7, which triggered a brief but intense military exchange between the two nations.
Nation Pays Tribute to Fallen Soldiers
According to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the latest martyrs are Havaldar Muhammad Naveed of the Pakistan Army and Senior Technician Muhammad Ayaz of the Pakistan Air Force. Both had been hospitalized due to injuries sustained during India’s “cowardly and unprovoked” strikes.
“These brave sons of the soil fought with courage and resolve,” the ISPR said, calling their sacrifice a “timeless testament” to duty and patriotism. The military also offered prayers for the swift recovery of the 78 other personnel injured during the hostilities.

Retaliation and Ceasefire
In response to the strikes, Pakistan launched Operation Bunyan-um-Marsoos, a large-scale retaliatory campaign that targeted Indian military installations across multiple regions. Military officials described the counteroffensive as “precise and proportionate.”
Pakistan strongly denied any involvement.
Conflict Ends, Tensions Linger
The intense conflict lasted nearly four days before the United States brokered a ceasefire on May 10. Although the guns have fallen silent, tensions remain high along the Line of Control.
Pakistan’s armed forces, along with the nation, continue to honor the martyrs and remain vigilant. The ISPR reiterated that any future violations of sovereignty will receive a decisive and full-spectrum response.
