Air Force Releases Images
The Indian Air Force (IAF) has released satellite imagery revealing the extent of damage inflicted on terror camps and airfields in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) during the precision strikes carried out under Operation Sindoor.
The images provide a stark before-and-after comparison of key targets, including the Jaish-e-Mohammad stronghold in Bahawalpur and the Lashkar-e-Taiba base in Muridke, located in Pakistan’s Punjab province. The visuals also capture the impact of India’s retaliatory strikes on Pakistani air defence radars and military airfields.
The IAF stated that the operation was executed with precision, fulfilling strategic objectives in line with national interests.
“This multi-dimensional operation successfully neutralised terrorist threats, deterred Pakistani aggression, and reinforced India’s zero-tolerance policy toward terrorism, all while maintaining strategic restraint and international support,” the forces said.
