The Pakistani military has rejected a new Indian documentary regarding "Operation Sindoor", describing the production as a factually inaccurate attempt to rewrite the operational outcome of cross-border military confrontations.

In a detailed statement released via its official media wing (ISPR), the Pakistani military said that Indian content creators used "cinematic Bollywood style reconstruction" and selectively edited interviews to alter established facts surrounding the conflict, referred to in Pakistan as "Marka-e-Haq".

The ISPR said the documentary contains fundamental contradictions, specifically disputing Indian attempts to link an address by Pakistan's Chief of Army Staff on April 16, 2025, with the Pahalgam incident on 22 April 2025.

The Pakistani military questioned India's timeline, adding Indian authorities reported eliminating the alleged perpetrators on July 28, 2025, several months after claiming to deliver punishment through "Operation Sindoor" on May 7.

Pakistan Challenges India’s Claims

Challenging India’s claim of "100 percent mission success", the Pakistani military said its forces thwarted cross-border operations and downed eight Indian aircraft.

According to the ISPR statement, Pakistan subsequently conducted retaliatory strikes under "Operation Bunyanum Marsoos" and has targeted 26 military sites using Fatah guided rockets, precision air munitions, loitering drones, and artillery.

The Pakistani military further argued that admissions within the documentary — including acknowledged Pakistani air activity, Line of Control engagements, and Indian air defence activations — contradict assertions of decisive Indian dominance.

Addressing the cessation of hostilities, the ISPR noted that the fighting ended through direct communication between the two Directors General of Military Operations (DGMOs), facilitated by the United States, rather than as a unilateral outcome.

The military reaffirmed its commitment to regional stability while warning that any future aggression would be met with a firm and decisive response.
