This weekend could be "it."
This raises questions about India's ballistic missile systems. Are they defective? Were they successfully JAMMED by Pakistan Electronic Warfare?
The fact that India fired SIX BALLISTIC MISSILES is a stunning development in, and of, itself. It demonstrates that this conflict is getting very much worse, by the day.
Today is Friday. Stock Markets are now closed worldwide. This weekend could be "it."
Pakistan Now Launching Offensive Strikes Against India
Pakistan officially launched Operation “Bunyān al-Marsūs”, initiating offensive strikes on India’s military targets.
As of 8:19 PM eastern US time on 9 May 2025, reports are coming in fast and furious. Verification is not possible yet due to the speed and volume of reports coming in. Keep that in mind as you read:
-- There are reports that Pakistan struck a storage site for India's supersonic BrahMos missiles.
-- Pakistani military sources: We are bombing 36 different targets in India
-- Pakistan confirms its Airbases were hit by India and several C-130J Hercules aircraft were among aircraft destroyed by Indian airstrikes against Nur Khan Airbase!!
-- The Pakistani operation targeted 26 Indian military sites in Jammu and Kashmir, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Punjab and New Delhi. (This number of targeted sites deviates from the earlier claim of 36 targets, above)
--- Two Indian suicide drones struck a shopping mall in the Pakistani capital, Islamabad.
--Large numbers of drones are flying in the skies of Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan (presumably from India)
--Pakistani military sources: 4 Indian military bases targeted.

UPDATE 8:33 PM EDT --
Pakistan's military media wing (ISPR) has officially announced retaliatory strikes against India, codenamed "Operation Bunyan Marsoos," with military sources claiming they have "destroyed" an airbase in Udhampur and an airfield in Pathankot, along with allegedly hitting a Brahmos missile storage site in Beas, Punjab.
Meanwhile, Pakistani army spokesman Ahmad Sharif reiterated claims that India targeted three Pakistani airbases (Nur Khan, Murid, and Rafiqui), adding the new allegation that "some of the missiles fired by India also went into Afghanistan"—though no evidence was provided.
Sharif blamed the escalation on "paranoia within the Indian mindset" while characterizing the alleged Indian strikes as "blatant acts of aggression."

India and Pakistan have launched another round of reciprocal strikes in recent hours.
Both sides have now targeted locations of increasing strategic importance.
Earlier, India targeted a number of Pakistani airbases. Three in total, most notably Pakistan’s Nur Khan airbase in Rawalpindi, very close to the capital of Islamabad, where it appeared that a C-130 was on fire.
In retaliation, Pakistan has announced the commencement of what appears to be a wide-ranging targeting of “strategic” Indian targets.
Pakistani airspace is now completely closed, per a wide-sweeping NOTAM. This as explosions were just heard on live television in one of the dual capitals of Indian-Administered Kashmir, Srinagar.

EXPLOSIONS REPORTED IN MULTIPLE CITIES AS PAKISTAN CLAIMS RETALIATORY STRIKES Witnesses report multiple explosions heard in the Indian cities of Amritsar and Jammu, as well as in Pakistan's northwestern city of Peshawar, as Pakistan's state broadcaster confirms the country has launched "retaliatory military action against India."
This escalation follows Pakistan's earlier claims that India fired missiles at three Pakistani air bases, most of which were allegedly intercepted according to Pakistan's military.
No specific details about targets, weapons, or scope of Pakistan's counter-offensive have been provided by official sources, but the reported explosions in multiple cities on both sides of the border suggest the conflict may be expanding beyond limited strikes.
