According to a statement issued by the military’s media wing, Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif received a comprehensive briefing during his visit on the conduct of the battle and the current operational preparedness of the Corps.
Commending the Armed Forces on their exemplary performance in the Marka-e-Haq (Battle for Truth), the Prime Minister stated, “The valiant Armed Forces of Pakistan, fortified by the unwavering resolve of the nation, defended the motherland in a heroic manner and dealt a decisive blow to the adversary’s dastardly aggression.”
“History will eternally record how, within a few hours, Pakistan’s defenders extinguished India’s unprovoked aggression with unmatched precision and resolve,” he said.
While interacting with officers and soldiers at the frontline, the Prime Minister lauded their high morale, exceptional professionalism, and unflinching readiness, according to the ISPR statement.
The Prime Minister further affirmed, “Pakistan takes immense pride in its brave sons; they are the crown jewels of the nation.”

He added that the blatant aggression against innocent civilians—resulting in the martyrdom of children, women, and the elderly—while labelling them as terrorists is utterly shameful and violates all international laws, norms, and morality.
Prime Minister Shehbaz stated that despite Pakistan’s offer of a neutral investigation, India deliberately evaded the path of accountability, as it had nothing to prove. “Based on a false pretext, bloated arrogance, and ego, they launched the offensive—for which they have received a very befitting response,” he said.
He concluded by saying that Pakistan’s martyrs have always been a source of pride for the nation. “The nation shall eternally remain indebted to them.”
Pakistan-India Ceasefire
Pakistan and India agreed to a full and immediate ceasefire on Saturday following days of intense military exchanges that raised fears of a full-scale conflict between the two nuclear-armed neighbours.
The announcement was first made by US President Donald Trump and later confirmed by Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar, Indian External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar, and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio. The ceasefire came after missile strikes, drone incursions, and retaliatory operations across the border.

Tensions flared after a deadly April 22 attack in Pahalgam, Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK), that left 26 civilians dead. India blamed Pakistan-based elements without providing evidence; Islamabad rejected the claim.
India responded by closing the Wagah border, revoking Pakistani visas, and suspending the Indus Waters Treaty—moves Pakistan labelled as an “act of war.”
By May 6–7, Pakistan launched Operation Bunyan-un-Marsoos, claiming to have downed five Indian jets, including Rafales, and intercepted 77 Israeli-origin Harop drones.
The US played a central role in facilitating backchannel diplomacy. Secretary Rubio and Vice President JD Vance held talks with senior leaders from both countries, including PMs Shehbaz Sharif and Narendra Modi, as well as top defence and intelligence officials.
Following Trump’s announcement, both countries suspended military activity across land, air, and sea, though allegations of ceasefire breach were also reported from both sides of the Line of Control (LoC).
