Recent reports indicate that India has conducted direct hits on Pakistan's bases, with satellite images confirming the extent of the damage. This action follows a period of heightened tension between the two nations, particularly after the Pahalgam attack in which 26 civilians were killed.
The Indian military has released satellite images that reportedly show significant damage to Pakistani military bases, including runways and air defense radars. These images reveal the aftermath of strikes on various locations, providing visual evidence of the operation's impact. The pinpoint accuracy of these strikes suggests a calculated and precise military operation.
According to reports, India's actions were a direct response to the Pahalgam attack, which India attributes to terrorist groups operating from Pakistani territory. In response, India launched what it called "Operation Sindoor," a counter-terrorism operation targeting multiple terror camps across Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. India asserts that these strikes were non-escalatory and targeted, based on verified intelligence.
The operation, which reportedly lasted only 25 minutes, involved strikes on nine terror camps linked to organizations such as Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammad. The locations targeted ranged from Sialkot to Bahawalpur. Satellite images have also confirmed the damage inflicted on these terror camps, showing key terrorist infrastructure reduced to rubble.
Following India's strikes, Pakistan reportedly launched a counter-attack on India's base at Adampur in Punjab, as well as targets in Jammu and Kashmir. India responded by targeting multiple air bases in Pakistan, causing significant damage. The Indian military has presented detailed evidence, including satellite images, to showcase the extent of destruction inflicted on Pakistani military assets.
Specifically, India targeted the Bolari airfield in Sindh province, where an aircraft hangar was reportedly destroyed. Similarly, at the Jacobabad airfield, home to a squadron of Pakistani F-16s, an aircraft hangar was also hit. These strikes have had a substantial impact on Pakistan's military capabilities.
Amidst these developments, reports suggest that Pakistan has sought a ceasefire, appealing to India's military leadership to halt hostilities. This request reportedly came after the Indian operation dismantled key terror infrastructure. Despite claims of US mediation, it appears Pakistan initiated the call for a ceasefire. India has emphasized that its response was measured and decisive, setting new rules of engagement.
