In the early hours of Saturday, Pakistan launched a retaliatory military operation titled ‘Bunyan um Mursoos’ following an  Indian air strike targeting multiple sites in Punjab province, including Nur Khan Air Base, Shorkot Air Base, and Murid Air Base with air-to-ground missiles during overnight operations between Friday and Saturday. However, the Pakistan Air Force confirmed that all strategic assets remained unharmed.

In response, Pakistan launched the indigenously developed Fateh-1 missile. It was dedicated to the memory of Pakistani children who were martyred in the Indian military assault on May 6-7.

Earlier, Trump announced that India and Pakistan have agreed to a "full and immediate" ceasefire under US mediation.
