Recent satellite imagery suggests that Pakistan’s strategically important Nur Khan airbase sustained more extensive damage during India’s ‘Operation Sindoor’ than previously believed. Nur Khan, a vital hub for Pakistan’s drone and VIP air fleet, is located in Rawalpindi, less than 25 kilometres from Islamabad.
The base is a high-value target, housing key assets of the Pakistan Air Force. In a social media post, defence analyst Damien Symon wrote, a review of Nur Khan Airbase, Pakistan, reveals the entire complex near India’s strike location has now been demolished, suggesting the strike’s effect went beyond the two special-purpose trucks.
A fresh assessment reveals that a large complex near the strike site has been demolished, expanding the perceived impact of the Indian Air Force’s precision strikes. According to The Intel Lab, which shared the latest satellite visuals, the destruction appears to go beyond the previously reported damage to two special-purpose trucks. Earlier reports based on satellite analysis indicated that India carried out precision strikes between May 8 and 10, targeting infrastructure and ground support systems at the Rawalpindi-based airbase.
