Operation Sindoor LIVE: PM Modi Declares, “No Talks Without Action, No Peace Without Justice”

On Monday, Director General of Air Operations, Air Marshal AK Bharti, confirmed that the Indian Armed Forces did not target the nuclear facility located at Kirana Hills in Pakistan.

Responding to a query during a press conference on Monday, Air Marshal AK Bharti stated, “Thank you for informing us that Kirana Hills houses a nuclear installation, we were not aware of that. We have not targeted Kirana Hills or anything located there.” Read More

Srinagar, which had witnessed intense shelling and cross-border firing from Pakistan following India's Operation Sindoor, saw a return to normalcy on Tuesday with schools reopening after days of closure.

The move came as the ceasefire between India and Pakistan remained intact in the wake of recent talks between the Directors General of Military Operations (DGMOs) of both nations. The ongoing truce has brought much-needed relief to civilians in border areas, particularly in Kashmir Valley, which had been on high alert amid rising tensions.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Monday praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his strong leadership, stating that under his guidance, "no enemy of Bharat goes unpunished."

He said, "The nation salutes the unmatched valour of our Armed Forces – the defenders of Bharat and the annihilators of our enemies. We also pay tribute to our first line of defence, the brave personnel of the BSF. Their courage is permanently etched in our nation's proud history. I commend Prime Minister Modi for his resolute leadership in ensuring justice for our innocent brothers who lost their lives. Time and again, he has shown that any threat to Bharat will be met with firm retaliation."

A couple from Borlangfer in Assam’s Karbi Anglong district has landed in police custody for allegedly posting anti-India and pro-Pakistan content on social media.

Late last night, police apprehended Rakib Hussain after he allegedly posted messages supporting Pakistan. On Monday, his wife, Rezia Khatun, was also arrested for sharing similar content that authorities deemed anti-national. Read More...

Army sources on Monday stated that a relatively small number of drones have been detected in the Samba sector. "They are being engaged effectively, and there is nothing to be alarmed about," officials said, adding that security forces are maintaining a high level of vigilance in the area. The situation is under control, and necessary countermeasures are in place to neutralise any aerial threats.

In a significant development following the high-stakes Operation Sindoor, the Director Generals of Military Operations (DGsMO) of India and Pakistan held crucial talks at 5:00 PM on Monday, May 12, 2025. Read More..

On the future of Indo-Pak relations, the Prime Minister was unequivocal: “Terror and talks cannot go together. The only dialogue we’re interested in is about ending terrorism and reclaiming Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir.”

Citing the nation’s anguish over the Pahalgam massacre, Modi said, “It was a barbaric attempt to fracture our unity—but it had the opposite effect. It brought 1.4 billion Indians together in demand for swift justice.”

Ending his speech with a tribute to India’s armed forces, intelligence agencies, and defense scientists, he said, “Every Indian today walks taller, prouder, and more determined. Operation Sindoor has changed the rules of engagement. This is the new India—resolute, fearless, and just.”

Hailing the success of Operation Sindoor as a showcase of India’s new-age warfare capabilities, PM Modi praised the performance of indigenous defense technologies. “Made-in-India systems operated with surgical precision,” he said, adding that the mission reflects India’s growing confidence in its scientific, military, and strategic prowess.

He emphasized that unity and resolve remain the nation’s most powerful weapons. “India is changing—and those who challenge its sovereignty must beware,” he warned.

Outlining a bold, no-nonsense national security doctrine, the Prime Minister declared that India’s counter-terrorism policy would henceforth rest on three immovable pillars:

1. Decisive Retaliation: Any terror strike will be answered with overwhelming force.

2. No Tolerance for Nuclear Blackmail: Nuclear threats will not deter India from defending itself.

3. No Distinction Between Terrorists and Their Sponsors: States supporting terrorism will be treated as co-perpetrators.

Citing the public presence of senior Pakistani military officials at the funerals of slain terrorists, Modi called it “irrefutable evidence” of Islamabad’s state sponsorship of terrorism.

In response to India’s offensive, Pakistan attempted counterstrikes targeting Indian schools, religious sites, and civilian areas. But India’s advanced air defense systems successfully intercepted these provocations. “Pakistan had prepared to strike India’s borders—India struck at its core instead,” Modi said, in one of the address’s most hard-hitting lines.

Following heavy losses, Pakistan’s military reached out to India’s Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) on May 10, promising a halt to both terrorist activity and military aggression. India, in a calculated move, paused its counter-operations but issued a stern warning: any future provocation would be met with even more decisive force.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, while addressing the success of Operation Sindoor, remarked that India's missile and drone strikes not only destroyed terror infrastructure in Pakistan but also shook the enemy’s morale. “It wasn’t just the buildings of terrorist organisations that were reduced to rubble; their courage also crumbled,” he said.

Referring to terror hubs like Bhawalpur and Muridke, the Prime Minister described them as “universities of global terrorism,” linking them to major terror attacks across the world, including 9/11 and numerous incidents in India.

Highlighting Pakistan’s alleged support for terrorism, PM Modi said, “The world has seen Pakistan’s dirty truth — when high-ranking army officials bid farewell to slain terrorists, it became the clearest evidence of state-sponsored terrorism.”

High-level military discussions between India and Pakistan concluded on Monday evening, ANI reported, citing official sources. The Director General of Military Operations (DGMO)-level talks, initially scheduled for 12 noon, were delayed following a prior exchange on Saturday.

During that earlier interaction, Pakistan’s DGMO is said to have proposed a halt to hostilities—a proposal that was later acknowledged by India’s DGMO, Lieutenant General Rajiv Ghai, during Sunday’s joint press briefing.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to address the nation at around 8 PM today, in what is expected to be a significant statement amid escalating tensions along the border and the ongoing Operation Sindoor.

The announcement of the address has sparked widespread anticipation, particularly in the wake of Pakistan's violation of the ceasefire agreement merely hours after it was brokered through direct military-to-military communication. The Indian armed forces have reportedly launched strong countermeasures in response to the aggression.

While the exact subject of the Prime Minister’s address has not been officially confirmed, the timing points to possible remarks on national security, recent military developments, and India’s firm stance in the face of cross-border hostilities.

More details will follow as the situation develops.

In an emotionally charged farewell, BSF Sub-Inspector Mohammad Imtiyaz, who was martyred in Pakistani firing on Saturday, was laid to rest with full military and state honours. Alongside him, Subedar Major Pawan Kumar Jarial, Havildar Murali Nayak, and Rifleman Sunil Kumar were also accorded ceremonial farewells.

The last rites were performed in the presence of Rajouri district administrative officer Rajkumar Thapa, government representatives, and a sea of mourners who gathered to pay their final respects. The atmosphere was filled with patriotic fervour as chants of "Bharat Mata Ki Jai" echoed throughout the area.

The bravehearts’ sacrifice has once again highlighted the unflinching spirit and dedication of the Indian armed forces in defending the nation's borders.

In a significant escalation of cross-border hostilities, Air Marshal A.K. Bharti confirmed that Indian air defense forces successfully intercepted a coordinated drone offensive launched by the enemy on the night of May 8 and 9. The drone swarm, involving unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), targeted multiple Indian cities in a widespread operation beginning at 10:30 PM, ranging from Srinagar to Naliya. Read More..

Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) Lieutenant General Rajiv Ghai has identified Muridke—long known as the nerve center of the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT)—as one of the hubs scrutinized during India's latest counter-terror offensive. The town in Pakistan’s Punjab province has, over the years, produced several globally known terrorists including Ajmal Kasab and David Headley. Read More

The Congress on Saturday launched a sharp attack on the Centre over what it called “alarming attempts” to internationalise the Kashmir issue, demanding a special session of Parliament and an all-party meeting in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Read more...

In the wake of ceasefire violations and reported airspace intrusions on the night of May 10–11, 2025, Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi has taken decisive steps to bolster India's defensive posture under Operation Sindoor.

Reviewing the overall security situation along the western borders, General Dwivedi held detailed consultations with top Army Commanders deployed in these critical sectors. Following the assessment, the Chief of Army Staff (COAS) granted full operational authority to the commanders for immediate and proportionate counteraction in the kinetic domain in response to any breach of the ceasefire agreement.

This authority comes directly in reference to the understanding reached during the Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) level talks held on May 10, 2025.

The move signifies India's firm stance against violations and readiness to safeguard its territorial integrity with swift and calibrated military response.

A joint media briefing will be held today at 6:30 PM by the Director General Military Operations (DGMO) representing all three branches of the Indian Armed Forces — the Army, Navy, and Air Force.

In a strong statement, Defense Minister Rajnath Singh asserted that Operation Sindoor was launched to dismantle terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), emphasizing that the operation focused solely on military targets, sparing innocent civilians. He condemned Pakistan's actions, noting that Pakistan had targeted civilian areas in India, including temples, gurudwaras, and churches.

“Our Armed Forces displayed immense courage and restraint in executing the operation. They gave a befitting response by targeting numerous Pakistani military bases. Our response was not limited to the border; the indignation of our forces even reached Rawalpindi, where the Pakistani military headquarters are located,” said Rajnath Singh.

The operation highlights India's commitment to eliminating terrorism and defending its sovereignty, sending a clear message that terrorist sanctuaries will not be tolerated. Read More..

India’s defense capabilities were on full display today as Raksha Mantri Rajnath Singh inaugurated the BrahMos Integration and Testing Facility Centre in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh. During his address, Singh described Operation Sindoor not just as a military action, but a symbol of India’s political, social, and strategic willpower.

The operation, launched in response to the Pahalgam terror attack, was portrayed as a demonstration of India's strong commitment to counter-terrorism. Singh emphasized that it was a clear message to those who perpetuate terrorism, asserting that even beyond India’s borders, no place would be safe for terrorists.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday chaired a high-level security meeting at his residence in the national capital to review the ongoing security situation.

The meeting was attended by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, External Affairs Minister Dr S. Jaishankar, National Security Advisor Ajit Doval, Chief of Defence Staff General Anil Chauhan, and the Chiefs of the Army, Navy, and Air Force.

The closed-door meeting is believed to have focused on national security and strategic matters, including the ongoing Operation Sindoor. While no official briefing has been issued so far, the presence of top defence and security officials underscores the significance of the discussions.

Further details are expected to be shared in due course.

The Indian Air Force (IAF) has announced the successful execution of its assigned tasks in Operation Sindoor, reaffirming its commitment to national objectives through a display of precision, professionalism, and strategic restraint.

According to an official statement, the ongoing operation was carried out in a “deliberate and discreet manner”, aligning closely with broader national interests. Though specific details remain classified due to the sensitive nature of the mission, the IAF emphasized that all operational goals set thus far have been met effectively.

As Operation Sindoor is still in progress, the IAF stated that a comprehensive briefing will be conducted in due course. Until then, the Air Force has urged the public and media to refrain from speculation or dissemination of unverified information, which could compromise operational integrity.

More details are expected to be released following the conclusion of the ongoing phase of the operation.

In a breach of the recently announced bilateral understanding to halt all military actions, drones were spotted over multiple locations in Jammu and Kashmir on Saturday night, prompting swift retaliation by Indian armed forces. The drones were intercepted and shot down using air defence systems, officials confirmed.

One such incident occurred in Srinagar’s Batwara area—near an army installation—where a drone was brought down, triggering a series of explosions that echoed through the city. The blasts, which occurred roughly 15 minutes apart, lit up the night sky with flares.

The drone activity came just hours after India publicly stated that both nations had agreed to cease all hostilities on land, sea, and air. However, central government sources late Saturday described Pakistan’s actions as a clear violation of that understanding.

Reacting to the developments, Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah questioned the credibility of the "ceasefire" declaration amid the ongoing disturbances.

Following the recent ceasefire violation, Pakistan has intensified its rhetoric, placing the blame squarely on India for the escalating border tensions. In a statement, the Pakistan Prime Minister, Shehbaz Sharif accused India of provoking conflict, attempting to shift responsibility for the flare-up.

Meanwhile, false claims have emerged from Pakistan alleging that Indian forces launched an attack on a Pakistani army post — an assertion dismissed by Indian defense sources as baseless and misleading. The situation along the border remains tense, with both sides monitoring developments closely.

An alert Indian Army sentry posted at the Nagrota Military Station in Jammu detected suspicious movement near the perimeter and challenged the suspected intruder, resulting in a brief exchange of fire, the Army’s White Knight Corps confirmed on Saturday.

During the incident, the sentry sustained a minor injury. In response, security forces swiftly launched a search operation in the area to locate the intruder(s).

Authorities have intensified perimeter security, and further updates are awaited as the search continues.

Hours after India and Pakistan reportedly reached an understanding to halt cross-border military actions, Pakistan has violated the agreement, prompting a strong response from the Indian side.

Speaking to the media on Saturday night, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri stated, “An understanding was reached this evening between the DGMOs of India and Pakistan to stop the military action that was going on for the last few days. For the last few hours, this understanding is being violated by Pakistan.” Read More...

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi has assured that China will continue to support Pakistan in safeguarding its “sovereignty, territorial integrity, and national independence.”

The remarks were made during a phone conversation with Pakistan’s Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar, as confirmed in a statement by Pakistan’s Foreign Office.

During the discussion, Dar updated Wang Yi on the latest developments in the regional situation.

Amid widespread reports of explosions and military activity, official sources from the Indian Army have issued a clarification urging restraint and accurate reporting. Contrary to earlier claims, no blasts have occurred in Srinagar, and there is no ongoing firing along the Line of Control (LoC) at present.

Authorities confirmed that drone intrusions were detected, but a full assessment of the situation is still underway.

"All are requested not to be trigger happy," the statement urged, emphasizing the need for calm and responsible communication during the sensitive period.

In a shocking turn of events, Pakistan violated the ceasefire agreement just hours after publicly committing to end hostilities with India. Fresh reports of ceasefire violations have emerged from multiple sectors across Jammu and Kashmir, including Akhnoor, raising serious questions about Pakistan’s sincerity.

Security officials reported a combination of artillery shelling and small arms fire from across the border, prompting strong retaliatory action by Indian forces. Adding to the escalation, a fresh drone attack has also been reported, though further details are awaited.

The renewed hostilities have heightened tensions along the border, even as diplomatic efforts to de-escalate the situation remain underway.

A Border Security Force (BSF) trooper was killed and seven others were injured on Saturday in Pakistani shelling along the International Border in the R S Pura sector of Jammu, officials confirmed.

According to a senior BSF officer, Sub-Inspector Mohammed Imteyaz lost his life while "gallantly leading from the front," making the supreme sacrifice in the line of duty.

The injured personnel are receiving medical treatment, and the situation along the border remains tense. Further details on retaliatory action and ongoing security measures are awaited.

Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has raised concerns over a potential breach of the ceasefire, as explosions were reportedly heard across Srinagar. In a statement, Abdullah claimed, "What the hell just happened to the ceasefire? Explosions heard across Srinagar!!! This is no ceasefire. The air defence units in the middle of Srinagar just opened up." Read More

In the wake of ongoing military developments under ‘Operation Sindoor,’ Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday chaired a high-level meeting at his official residence, 7 Lok Kalyan Marg. The meeting was attended by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, National Security Advisor Ajit Doval, Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) General Anil Chauhan, and the Chiefs of the Army, Navy, and Air Force.

Senior Congress Leader Jairam Ramesh has emphasized the need for urgent political dialogue after the recent ceasefire announcement between India and Pakistan. In light of the unprecedented developments from Washington D.C., Ramesh called for two critical steps to be taken.

Firstly, he urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to convene an all-party meeting, ensuring that political parties are taken into confidence regarding the situation.

Secondly, Ramesh advocated for a special session of Parliament to discuss the events of the last eighteen days, particularly the brutal Pahalgam terror attacks, and to determine the way forward. He underscored the importance of demonstrating a collective national resolve in addressing these challenges.

Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri stated that Pakistan’s Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) contacted the Indian DGMO at 15:35 hours today. During the conversation, both sides reached an agreement to halt all forms of firing and military action, on land, in the air, and at sea, effective from 1700 hours IST.

Misri added, "Pakistan's Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) called the Indian DGMO at 15:35 hours earlier this afternoon. It was agreed between them that both sides would stop all firing and military action on land and in the air and sea with effect from 1700 hours Indian Standard Time. Today, instructions have been given on both sides to give effect to this understanding. The Directors General of Military Operations will talk again on the 12th of May at 1200 hours."

India and Pakistan have agreed to a "full and immediate ceasefire," US President Donald Trump announced on Saturday as per news reports, following a "long night" of US-mediated talks.

“After a long night of talks mediated by the United States, I am pleased to announce that India and Pakistan have agreed to a FULL AND IMMEDIATE CEASEFIRE.  Congratulations to both Countries on using Common Sense and Great Intelligence. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” Trump posted X. 

A red alert has been declared in Pathankot following the escalating tensions between India and Pakistan, prompting authorities to impose heightened security measures across the region. As a precautionary step, local markets have been shut down, and security forces have been deployed to ensure public safety.

The move comes after recent military clashes between the two nations, with India conducting airstrikes on Pakistani airbases in response to cross-border attacks. Authorities have urged residents to remain cautious, and security personnel have been placed on high alert.

Amid rising tensions between India and Pakistan, the Punjab government has taken proactive measures to ensure student safety by instructing all universities and colleges across the state to prioritise student welfare and refrain from forcing anyone to leave campus under pressure.

In a post on X on Saturday, Punjab Higher Education Minister Harjot Singh Bains emphasised that no institution should compel students to vacate campuses due to concerns over safety, transport, or personal circumstances.

"In light of the prevailing situation, all universities & colleges across the State are directed to ensure student safety. No student shall be forced to leave campus if unable or unwilling due to safety, transport, or personal reasons," Bains said.

"Institutions must provide food, shelter & care till the last student remains. Exams must not be a reason to compel a stay. No academic penalty for those returning home--rescheduling or alternatives must be provided," the Punjab Minister said.

As per the directive issued by the Department of Higher Education, institutions may declare holidays and permit students to return home; however, they must not compel anyone to vacate the campus if they are unwilling or unable to do so due to concerns related to safety, transportation, or personal circumstances.

“Until the last student remains on campus, the university or college administration shall bear full responsibility for their safety, care, and well-being,” the order stated. This includes ensuring uninterrupted access to accommodation, food, healthcare, and other essential services. The order further clarified that while examinations may be scheduled or underway, students must not be compelled to stay on campus against their will. Those opting to return home due to the prevailing circumstances should be allowed to do so without facing any academic penalty. Universities are expected to reschedule exams or make alternative arrangements, in line with precedents set by state universities in similar situations.

Institutions have been instructed to appoint nodal officers or establish helpdesks to facilitate effective communication and address any concerns raised by students.

In a major security success, the Indian Army’s Air Defence (AAD) units intercepted and destroyed multiple Pakistani kamikaze drones launched across the International Border into Amritsar, Punjab, early Saturday morning.

At around 5:00 AM, Pakistani forces deployed several Byker YIHA III drones loaded with high-explosive payloads in an apparent attempt to strike densely populated civilian areas. However, the Indian AAD network swiftly detected the incoming aerial threats moments after they breached Indian airspace.

Utilising quick-reaction air-defence guns deployed in depth along the border belt, Indian forces successfully neutralised the drones mid-air, preventing any civilian casualties or property damage. Initial analysis of the wreckage confirms that the drones were intended to cause maximum harm to non-combatants, marking a disturbing escalation by Pakistan.

Military officials stated that the operation highlights the efficiency of India’s multi-layered air defence grid, which integrates advanced ground-based radars, electro-optical tracking systems, and automated command-and-control infrastructure.

The incident underscores rising tensions along the western border and reaffirms India’s preparedness to counter cross-border aerial threats.

In a measured and precise response to Pakistan's provocations, Indian armed forces conducted targeted strikes solely on identified military locations, ensuring minimal collateral damage. Wing Commander Vyomika Singh emphasized that India’s military actions were in direct response to Pakistan's continued hostilities.

"We carried out a precision strike only at identified military targets," Wing Commander Singh confirmed, further rejecting Pakistan's baseless claims regarding the destruction of India's S-400 defense system and airfields at Surat and Sirsa. "India unequivocally rejects these false claims being spread by Pakistan," she added.

As tensions rise, Wing Commander Singh also highlighted the movement of Pakistani troops towards forward positions, suggesting an escalation in Pakistan's offensive posture. Despite this, she assured that Indian armed forces remain at a high state of operational readiness, having effectively countered all hostile actions.

"Indian armed forces reiterate their commitment to non-escalation, provided the Pakistan side reciprocates," Wing Commander Singh concluded, reinforcing India's stance of measured defense in the face of ongoing provocations.

The Pakistani army has escalated its offensive along India’s western borders, utilizing drones, long-range weapons, loitering munitions, and fighter jets to target India’s military installations. According to Colonel Sofiya Qureshi, the Pakistani forces made several attempts to infiltrate Indian airspace, launching attacks at over 26 locations.

"Pakistan tried to infiltrate via air at multiple places, damaging our equipment and personnel at air force bases in Udhampur, Bhuj, Pathankot, and Bathinda," Col. Qureshi stated. The Pakistani military also targeted air bases with high-speed missiles at 1:40 am, focusing on Punjab's air base.

In a concerning development, Pakistan also targeted civilian infrastructure, including health facilities and schools, exacerbating the tension between the two nations. Despite the relentless attacks, India has neutralized many threats, asserting its commitment to safeguarding its sovereignty.

Escalating hostilities, Pakistan launched a fresh wave of drone attacks on Saturday, targeting civilian and religious sites in Jammu, including the iconic Shambhu Temple. The Ministry of Defence confirmed the development in an official statement on X (formerly Twitter), condemning the deliberate targeting of places of worship and densely populated residential zones.

"Pakistan continued its hostilities on 10 May 2025 by targeting places of worship like the famous Shambhu Temple and residential areas in Jammu. Multiple armed drones have been sent through the night, endangering civilians and religious sites," the ministry stated.

The Indian Armed Forces, currently on high alert, intercepted several drones and remain prepared for any further escalation. Reaffirming its commitment, the Ministry added, "The Indian Armed Forces remain vigilant and are committed to defending the sovereignty of the nation."

On May 9, 2025, at approximately 9:00 PM, Pakistan initiated unprovoked firing on Border Security Force (BSF) posts in the Jammu Sector. The BSF swiftly retaliated, causing significant damage to the Pakistan Rangers' posts and assets along the International Boundary.

In a decisive move, the BSF destroyed a terrorist launch pad located at Looni, in the Sialkot district of Pakistan, opposite the Akhnoor area. The BSF's response highlighted India’s unwavering commitment to defending its sovereignty.

"Our resolve to protect India's sovereignty is unshaken," stated the BSF in an official release.

A senior government officer, Raj Kumar Thappa from Jammu and Kashmir, was killed this morning when Pakistan shelled civilian areas in Rajouri and other parts of the Union Territory. Chief Minister Omar Abdullah expressed profound shock and sorrow over the incident, noting that the officer had participated in an online meeting with him just hours before the tragic incident.

"Devastating news from Rajouri. We have lost a dedicated officer of the J&K Administration Services. Just yesterday, he was accompanying the Deputy CM around the district & attended the online meeting I chaired. Today, the residence of the officer was hit by Pak shelling as they targeted Rajouri town, killing our Additional District Development Commissioner, Sh Raj Kumar Thappa. I've no words to express my shock & sadness at this terrible loss of life. May his soul rest in peace," the Chief Minister said in a post on X. Read More

In a powerful retaliatory move under Operation Sindoor, the Indian Armed Forces launched strikes early Saturday, targeting at least four key air bases inside Pakistan. The strikes come after two days of sustained provocations and cross-border attacks on Indian cities and security establishments, allegedly originating from Pakistan.

According to sources cited by news agency ANI, multiple explosions were reported across Pakistan during the early hours, signaling coordinated Indian action. Pakistan has acknowledged that three of its air bases — Nur Khan Air Base near Islamabad, Murid Air Base in Chakwal, and Rafiqui Air Base in Jhang — were among those targeted.

In response to escalating hostilities, surface-to-air missile systems were reportedly activated in Srinagar, while intense military engagement was observed along the Line of Control (LoC). The Indian retaliation underscores a firm message against repeated aggression and the targeting of civilian and military infrastructure.
