New Dehi: India has carried out precision airstrikes on Pakistan Air Force bases in Rafiqui, Murid, Chaklala and Rahim Yar Khan. Pakistan’s military installations at Sukkur and Chunia, a radar site at Pasrur and the Sialkot aviation base were also targeted.
Addressing a government briefing with Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri and Colonel Sofiya Qureshi, Wing Commander Vyomika Singh said Pakistan continued to provoke India through aggressive actions along India’s western border. Pakistan used unmanned combat aerial vehicles, long-range weapons, loitering munitions and fighter jets to target civilian areas and military infrastructure, she said.
Hitting back hard after Pakistan’s drone attacks across the western sector, India has carried out precision airstrikes on Pakistan Air Force bases in Rafiqui, Murid, Chaklala and Rahim Yar Khan. Pakistan’s military installations at Sukkur and Chunia, a radar site at Pasrur and the Sialkot aviation base were also targeted.
In a “deplorable” and “cowardly” act, she said, Pakistan attacked civilian areas, including a medical centre and school premises. In a swift and calibrated response, Indian Air Force carried out precision attacks only on identified military targets. These included technical infrastructure, command and control centres, radar sites and weapon storage areas. Pakistan military targets at Rafiqui, Murid, Chaklala, Rahim Yar Khan, Sukkur and Chunia were engaged using air-launched precision weapons from our fighter aircraft.
Flagging Pakistan’s malicious misinformation campaign, the Air Force officer mentioned claims such as the destruction of India’s S-400 air defence system at Adampur, airfields at Suratgarh and Sirsa, Brahmos base at Nagrota and the forward ammunition depot at Chandigarh. “India unequivocally rejects these false narratives being spread by Pakistan,” she said.
