Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has summoned an emergency meeting of the country’s highest decision-making body on nuclear and missile policy issues, National Command Authority (NCA), today (Saturday) as Pakistan's military launched Operation Bunyan-un-Marsous, a major retaliatory campaign in response to Indian missile and drone attacks, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.
“Prime Minister has called the meeting of National Command Authority,” said a statement issued in Islamabad.
The NCA is the highest civilian and military body responsible for the command, control, and operational decisions regarding Pakistan's nuclear weapons programme and strategic assets. The NCA also sets policy for all strategic nuclear forces and strategic organisations.
According to security sources, the operation—launched in the early hours of Saturday—has targeted multiple high-value Indian military installations. Confirmed strikes include the destruction of the BrahMos missile storage site in Beas, Udhampur Airbase, Pathankot airfield, and Adampur Airfield, which was reportedly used to launch missiles into Amritsar, Pakistan, and Afghanistan.
