NEW DELHI/ISLAMABAD — Indian financial markets lost ₹6.9 trillion ($83 billion) in just 48 hours — even before the first missile struck. As tensions soared, the Nifty 500 index plunged, with major players like Reliance Industries and HDFC losing over 2%. Banking stocks crumbled, and algorithmic traders were left chasing vanishing bids. By nightfall, the unthinkable happened — war had begun.
Pakistan launched “Operation Bunyan ul Marsoos,” deploying Fateh-1 rockets and Babur cruise missiles in a precision assault. Confirmed impact sites included Indian military hubs in Pathankot, Uri, Nagrota, and Adampur, among others. Footage showed missile trails lighting up Jammu skies, while Reuters verified secondary explosions across Rajouri. India’s prized S-400 radar in Srinagar? Obliterated. But the response wasn’t just kinetic. Pakistan unleashed a coordinated cyber offensive: SCADA systems destroyed, thousands of servers wiped, government websites defaced, power grids disrupted, and critical infrastructure, including Mumbai’s, forced onto emergency backup.
Sources suggest India’s initial strike may have missed a key target — a VIP flight departing Nur Khan Airbase shortly before hostilities erupted. The war has since escalated beyond borders, code, and cables. Experts say this is fifth-generation warfare: no tanks, no treaties — just digital dominance, strategic disruption, and psychological pressure. In this new battlefield, Pakistan isn’t just retaliating — it’s redefining the rules of modern war.
