"India's Midnight Cowardice, Pakistan’s Thunderous Retaliation: This Blood Will Not Dry in Silence"

In the darkness of May 6, 2025, while the world slept, India orchestrated what it proudly called “Operation Sindoor” a name as decorative as its intentions were deceptive. Under the guise of targeting “terrorist infrastructure,” Indian jets crossed the Line of Control and fired a series of missiles into Pakistani territory. But these missiles didn’t hit any so-called terror camps. They struck homes, mosques, and innocent sleeping civilians.

Among the shattered ruins of Muzaffarabad, Bahawalpur, Muridke, and Ahmedpur East, lay the body of 7-year-old Irtiza, wrapped in blood-soaked sheets instead of schoolbooks. He was not a militant. He was not in any camp. He was a child, a symbol of innocence a Pakistani child who became a martyr while sleeping in the safety of his home. India, you didn’t destroy a terrorist base. You murdered Irtiza, and dozens more like him. This blood cries out, and this blood will not dry without consequence.

According to official sources, 31 civilians were martyred, and 46 others injured. Among the dead were women, children, and elderly citizens. Mosques crumbled, and residential areas burned, as Indian missiles lit the night sky with destruction not precision. This wasn’t a strike of strength. This was a display of cowardice, launched under the cover of darkness, against those who had no means to defend themselves.

India thought it could walk away with pride. That its operation would showcase power. That Pakistan, and its people, would shiver in fear. But you miscalculated.

Pakistan’s response was not just swift it was thunderous.

On the morning of May 7, the Pakistan Air Force retaliated with unmatched precision and bravery. Fighter jets roared into action, engaging Indian aircraft in dogfights over the LoC. At least five Indian jets were confirmed downed. The wreckage of another Indian Sukhoi-30 jet lies smoldering in disputed territory. On the ground, Pakistani artillery decimated Indian forward posts, especially those used to launch the May 6 strikes.

According to the ISPR (Inter-Services Public Relations), Pakistan’s armed response resulted in significant losses to the Indian military, including the destruction of equipment, vehicles, and multiple fatalities. No civilians were harmed in Pakistan’s retaliation because we strike with honor, not with the cowardice of the night.

Let it be known: We are not a nation that forgets.

You thought Pakistani civilians would cower? That our people would surrender their will to resist? This is your greatest misjudgment. We are Muslims. We are Pakistanis. We do not bow. We do not fear. We do not forgive the murder of our children.

Every drop of blood spilled on our soil becomes a seed of vengeance. Every martyr gives birth to a thousand warriors. Irtiza’s name is now written in the pages of Pakistan’s history, not as a victim but as a symbol of resistance.

What’s Happening Now (As of May 8, 2025): The Real Picture

As of now, tensions continue to rise along the entire length of the Line of Control. The following are confirmed developments since May 6:

Over 15 cross-border fire exchanges have occurred, primarily in Neelum Valley, Kotli, and Bhimber.

Pakistan has moved armored brigades and air defense systems to strategic positions along the eastern front.

Indian casualties are estimated at 27, including both soldiers and officers, with 3 tanks and 2 artillery units destroyed in retaliatory shelling.

The Pakistan Navy has been placed on high alert in the Arabian Sea, and maritime surveillance has intensified near Indian coastal areas.

In Indian-occupied Kashmir, massive protests have erupted, with Kashmiris chanting pro-Pakistan and anti-India slogans, demanding an end to the bloodshed.

International borders near Punjab and Sindh have been partially sealed, and emergency alerts have been issued in multiple districts.

Meanwhile, Indian media continues to peddle half-truths and propaganda, claiming a successful operation and falsely reporting "zero civilian casualties" while photos from Bahawalpur and Muzaffarabad show the twisted metal of destroyed homes and bloodied schoolbags of dead children.

The global community is not blind. The United Nations, United States, United Kingdom, China, and Turkey have all urged restraint, but their calls fall flat unless they condemn India’s initial aggression. If these so-called superpowers remain silent while Pakistan’s civilians are bombed, then their neutrality is a lie. Silence in the face of oppression is complicity.

This Isn’t 1947 or 1965. This is a New Pakistan.

India, don’t confuse our restraint with weakness. Don't think for a second that the Pakistani nation is broken. We are more united than ever. Our people are standing behind our army. Our mosques are filled with prayers not of fear but of strength and revenge.

This fight isn’t about borders anymore. It’s about dignity. It’s about honor. It’s about justice.

Let this message be loud and clear: If you touch our civilians, we will make your bunkers tremble. If you kill our children, we will return the favor with precision. If you bring war to our homes, we will bring justice to yours.

This is not war for us. This is a matter of faith. A matter of resolve.

We remember Irtiza.

We remember the mothers wailing in Bahawalpur.

We remember the mosques turned to ash.

And we promise: this will not go unanswered.

You tried to show power in the night. But now, the day belongs to us. And in daylight, we fight with courage, not cowardice.
