A special ceremony is being held at General Headquarters (GHQ), Rawalpindi, to commemorate the first anniversary of the “Marka-e-Haq” (Battle of Truth) victory.
The ceremony features top military leadership, with Chief of Defence Forces and Chief of Army Staff Field Marshal Munir participating as the chief guest.
CDF Munir, Air Chief Marshal Sidhu, and Admiral Ashraf laid floral wreaths at the Yadgar-e-Shuhada (Martyrs’ Monument), while contingents from the three armed forces presented a ceremonial salute.
Addressing the special ceremony, CDF Munir said the day was a matter of pride for the entire nation, adding that the success demonstrated the country’s strength, unity, and resolve in the face of challenges.
Marka-e-Haq refers to the 19-day military conflict with India, spanning April 22 to May 10, 2025.
On May 6-7 last year, India launched an unprovoked attack on Pakistan, following an attack on tourists in the Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
Pakistan, during the 87-hour conflict, downed eight Indian fighter jets, including French-made Rafale, and dozens of drones. The war between the two nuclear-armed nations ended on May 10 with a ceasefire agreement brokered by the US.
This is a developing story and is being updated with further details.
