RAWALPINDI, (APP – UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News – 10th May, 2026) Chief of the Army Staff (COAS) and Chief of the Defence Forces (CDF) Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir while terming the country’s defence impregnable against any external aggression, on Sunday warned that any future hostile action against Pakistan would have serious, far-reaching and painful consequences.
“Alhamdulillah! today, Pakistan’s defence is fully impregnable against any external aggression, and any future hostile action against Pakistan will have serious, far-reaching and painful consequences,” the COAS vowed while addressing a special ceremony at the General Headquarters (GHQ) to commemorate the first anniversary of Marka-e-Haq victory.
He said that Marka-e-Haq was not merely a war between two countries but a decisive clash between “two ideologies” in which truth ultimately prevailed.
The CDF said Pakistan emerged victorious with the support of Allah, while “falsehood faced humiliation and defeat.”
He went on to say 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.
Syed Asim Munir said the events of May 2025 were not isolated, but part of a long pattern of what he described as Indian hostility and propaganda against Pakistan. India’s perceived ambition to isolate Pakistan militarily and diplomatically, and alter the regional balance of power, would never succeed, he reiterated.
The COAS said Pak armed forces and people had never been intimidated in the past and would not be in the future.
He said the confrontation from the night of May 6-7 until May 10 was an unsuccessful attempt by the enemy to test Pakistan’s national resolve and dignity.
However, he said Pakistan, its people and the armed forces achieved an unparalleled victory in Marka-e-Haq and Operation Bunyan-un-Marsoos with the blessings of Allah.
The Field Marshal said that India wanted to isolate Pakistan and alter the balance of power in the region and her dream was to subject Pakistan to military aggression and diplomatic isolation. However, he vowed that Pakistan would never allow India’s “dream” to materialize.
He said that India had forgotten that Pakistan’s armed forces had never bowed to the dominance of power in the past and would never do so in the future.
Paying tribute to the unarmed women, elderly people, and innocent children martyred during Marka-e-Haq, the COAS said that Pakistan regarded the sacrifices of its martyrs as a sacred trust and viewed its strength as a responsibility.
He said the message from the people and national leadership was clear that no compromise would be accepted on Pakistan’s sovereignty, territorial integrity, and national dignity.
He also said the battle was not only won on the battlefield but also at the national level across all sectors. “The entire nation stood like a solid wall in the defense of the homeland,” he said, noting that when Indian missiles fell, a large number of people came out in support of the country’s defense.
