Pakistan has admitted it suffered more damage than it earlier acknowledged, during India’s ‘Operation Sindoor’ on the intervening night of May 6 and 7.
According to a confidential Pakistani dossier on its internal military Operation ‘Bunyan un Marsoos’, at least eight more of its locations suffered damage in the Indian strikes.
A map in the dossier shows Indian strikes in Pakistan damaged structures in Peshawar, Jhang, Hyderabad in Sindh, Gujrat in Punjab, Gujranwala, Bhawalnagar, Attock, and Chor, on the intervening night of May 9 and 10.
The mentioned eight locations were not mentioned by the Indian Armed Forces during the press briefings held after the May 7 counteroffensive.
Another map revealed locations struck by India on the intervening night of May 7 and 8.
On May 10, nearly three days after India launched ‘Operation Sindoor’ against terror targets in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (PoK), the Shehbaz Sharif-led country extended a call for a ceasefire to India.
A couple of days after the ceasefire between India and Pakistan, satellite images captured by Maxar Technologies revealed significant damage to four air bases in Pakistan – Nur Khan Air Base in Rawalpindi, PAF Base Mushaf in Sargodha, Bholari Air Base, and PAF Base Shahbaz in Jacobabad.
Other satellite images had provided stark visual evidence of the destroyed terror infrastructure in Pakistan’s Bahawalpur and Muridke.
Before-and-after satellite images of the Jamia Masjid Subhan Allah in Bahawalpur, the operational headquarters of Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), also showed significant damage.
OPERATION SINDOOR
‘Operation Sindoor’, launched by India against Pakistan, targeted and destroyed multiple terror targets in Pakistan and PoK.
More than 100 terrorists, taking shelter in Pakistan, were also killed in the Indian operation.
The operation was launched to avenge the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, which was later claimed by The Resistance Front (TRF), an offshoot of Lashkar-e-Taiba.
The attack resulted in the killing of 26 tourists.
Survivors later said the terrorists had asked them about their faith, and shot dead those who said they were non-Muslims.
The terrorists also asked the tourists to recite a ‘Kalma‘ (an Islamic phrase) to confirm if they were non-Muslims, before shooting them point-blank.
