Muzaffarabad, May 7, 2025 (Big Digit): In an unprecedented development along the Line of Control (LoC), Indian forces reportedly raised a white flag at the Chora Complex, signaling a retreat and tacit admission of defeat following Pakistan’s powerful and precision-based military response.
According to credible security sources, the Indian Army hoisted the white flag after suffering significant losses, including the destruction of a brigade headquarters, multiple border check-posts, and the downing of five Indian Air Force (IAF) jets and a surveillance drone. The move is being seen as a direct result of Pakistan’s retaliatory strikes following India’s unprovoked missile attacks on civilian areas in Punjab and Azad Jammu and Kashmir.
Pakistan’s armed forces, fully alert and battle-ready, launched a swift and targeted counteroffensive. “Pakistan Army has delivered a befitting response to the Indian military’s cowardly aggression,” said a senior security official, confirming continued operations against hostile positions along the LoC.
The white flag—recognized internationally as a signal of ceasefire or surrender—was raised at the Chora Complex in what Pakistani military observers describe as a “humiliating moment” for the Indian side, especially given the scale of losses suffered.
India’s attacks, launched under the cover of darkness, targeted non-military sites including mosques and residential areas, resulting in the deaths of at least eight civilians and injuries to 35 others. The strikes were condemned by Pakistan’s leadership and met with immediate retaliation.
In response, the Pakistan Air Force downed three Rafale jets, one Su-30MKI, and one MiG-29—all state-of-the-art fighter aircraft in the Indian arsenal. Simultaneously, ground forces neutralized key Indian military installations, including a brigade headquarters and strategic outposts.
Military analysts say the Indian white flag is a clear indication of the effectiveness and superiority of Pakistan’s defensive strategy. “This marks a significant moment in the conflict—a psychological and operational victory for Pakistan,” said a senior defense analyst in Islamabad.
The situation remains tense but under control, with Pakistan reiterating its right to self-defense while reaffirming that it does not seek escalation. “Our actions are defensive in nature, yet decisive. Any further provocation will be met with equal, if not greater, force,” said ISPR Director-General Lt Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry.
As the international community closely monitors the fallout, Pakistan continues to call for de-escalation—while making it clear that any aggression will be countered with full resolve and military capability.
