Bunyan Marsoos

On Saturday, right after morning prayers, the Pakistan military launched its counteroffensive against India, codenamed “Bunyan Marsoos”, after a verse in the Quran, reported AlJazeera. 

Under the operation, it has targeted a number of sites across India which are all military sites, including one missile station as well as two airfields, the report added. 

Bunyan Ul Marsoos or Bunyan-un-Marsoos or Bunyanun Marsoos is an Arabic verse in the Quran which translates to "solid cemented structure." The complete verse of the Quran reads: "Truly Allah loves those who fight in His Cause in battle array, as if they were a solid cemented structure."

Qatar-based AlJazeera further reported quoting the Pakistani military that Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has called a meeting of the country's top civilian and military body, which takes key national security decisions, including those related to the country’s nuclear arsenal.
