Pakistan said he had launched the operation “Bunyan-un-Marsoos”, named after a chorea word meaning about a “lead wall”-as in response to India’s missiles and drones attacks.

The Pakistan military said he directed a storage site for the supersonic missile of India Brahmos in Beas, the Udhampur Aerial Field in the Indian Subregion of Jammu and Kashmir and an aerial field in Pathankot, also in Punjab.

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has called a meeting of the National Command Authority of Pakistan, who is responsible for the command and control of his nuclear arsenal, said the military on Saturday. The authority of Pakistan airports said that the country’s air space would close until noon.

On Wednesday, India said he had been “precision” strikes on what he said were terrorist fields in Pakistan and the part of the Kashmir disputed region administered by Pakistan.

The assault was the largest military attack in India to its neighbor for decades and responded to the massive shootout of 26 Indians and a Nepali citizen in Pahalgam, a tourist center in the Kashmir administered by India on April 22. India blames the attack on militants supported by Pakistan, which Pakistan denies.
