Pakistan Acknowledges Significant Losses: 11 Soldiers Killed In Cross-Border Clashes With India

At least 11 Pakistani soldiers were killed and 78 others were injured in foiling what has been termed as “unprovoked and reprehensible” attacks by India, the Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR) stated in a release on Tuesday. ISPR, the military media wing of Pakistan, also added that 40 civilians, among them seven women and 15 children, were killed in the fighting, and 121 civilians were injured.

Among the killed soldiers, six belonged to the Pakistan Army and five belonged to the Pakistan Air Force. The martyred army personnel include Naik Abdul Rehman, Lance Naik Dilawar Khan, Lance Naik Ikramullah, Naik Waqar Khalid, Sepoy Muhammad Adeel Akbar, and Sepoy Nisar.

The Pakistan Air Force confirmed Squadron Leader Usman Yousuf, Chief Technician Aurangzeb, Senior Technician Najeeb, Corporal Technician Farooq, and Senior Technician Mubashir as killed.

“Their noble sacrifice is an enduring symbol of courage, devotion, and unwavering patriotism — etched forever in the nation’s memory,” wrote the ISPR statement.

The army pledged stern action against any further aggression, declaring that “any move to test Pakistan’s sovereignty or territorial integrity will meet a prompt, full-spectrum, and determined response.”

Tensions along the border continue as both countries are keeping a close eye on the situation.
