The Pakistani military said Operation Bunyanum Marsoos ended after two days of launching in response to previous Indian military operations on May 6-7.

The operation was designed to target several locations in India, including the BrahMos missile depot in Beas city, which was destroyed in the first wave of attacks.

The announcement of the end of the campaign came after the two countries agreed on a comprehensive ceasefire and its observance.

According to a reporter in New Delhi, during a phone call on the afternoon of May 12, the Directors of the Directorate of Military Operations (DGMO) of India and Pakistan discussed the need for both sides to maintain restraint, not to fire or take any provocative actions in the future.

In addition, the two directors also considered immediate measures to facilitate the gradual withdrawal of troops from sensitive border areas. In addition, the two sides are expected to maintain communication to monitor the situation on the ground and avoid miscalculations and unintended escalations.

Meanwhile, in the disputed region of Kashmir, teams of experts have been neutralizing unexploded bombs in the border area between the two countries before allowing evacuees to return home.

Reports said six out of about 35 villages have been confirmed safe and local authorities have sent vehicles to bring some families who had previously taken refuge back to their villages./.
