Defence Day (Urdu: یومِ دفاع ALA-LC: Yaum-i Difāʿ IPA: [jɔːm-e d̪ɪfɑː]) is celebrated in Pakistan as national day to commemorate the sacrifices made by Pakistani soldiers in defending its borders. The date of 6 September marks the day in 1965 when Indian troops crossed the international border to launch an attack on Pakistani Punjab, in a riposte to Pakistan's Operation Grand Slam targeting Jammu. While it is officially commemorated as an unprovoked surprise attack by India, repulsed by the Pakistan Army despite its smaller size and fewer armaments, the narrative has been criticised by Indian commentators as representing false history.

  • يوم دفاع (بالأردوية: یوم دفاع)‏، هو عيد وطني يُحتفَل به في باكستان في 6 سبتمبر من كل عام، للاحتفاء بالتضحيات التي قدمها الجنود الباكستانيون في الدفاع عن حدودها. يصادف تاريخ 6 سبتمبر اليوم الذي عبرت فيه القوات الهندية الحدود الدولية لشن هجوم على البنجاب الباكستاني سنة 1965، ردًا على عملية السلام الكبرى الباكستانية التي تستهدف جامو. تقول الرواية الباكستانية أن هجومًا مفاجئًا غير مبرر من قبل الهند صده الجيش الباكستاني على الرغم من قله عدده وعتاده.
