		+
		+	More than two months after the Indian govt denied targeting Kirana Hills, where a chunk of Pakistan’s N-arsenal is believed to be located, fresh imagery from Google Earth, captured in June, appears to indicate that a missile indeed hit the strategically sensitive site in Pakistan’s Sargodha district.  On May 10, India had targeted key Pakistani installations as part of Op Sindoor.
		+
		+	The satellite images were analysed and shared by wellknown satellite imagery expert and geo-intelligence researcher Damien Symon on X. “Imagery update from Google Earth of the Sargodha region, Pakistan, captured in June 2025, shows — 1. The impact location of India’s strike on Kirana Hills in May 2025; 2. Repaired runways at Sargodha airbase post-India’s strikes in May 2025,” he shared.
		+
		+	However, in response to an X user’s question on whether there was significant damage, he posted, “This, along with earlier imagery, neither indicate any subterranean impact or penetration, it’s just one side of a hill with nothing of value in its immediate vicinity, must have been a warning strike on India’s part, tunnels etc are further away & don’t show any damage.”

	“Once the wide-area scan spots an activity, the electro-optical sensor is quickly pointed in this direction to identify and acquire the target. Once a positive acquisition is made, the loitering sensor transforms into a guided weapon, ready to attack the target it has just revealed,” the website said. It claimed that hundreds of battle-tested HAROP loitering munitions have proved highly effective in combat, “delivering 98% of mission success.”		“Once the wide-area scan spots an activity, the electro-optical sensor is quickly pointed in this direction to identify and acquire the target.

		+
		+
		+	Chief of Defence Staff General Anil Chauhan’s interviews to news agencies Reuters and Bloomberg on the sidelines of the Shangri-La Dialogue security forum in Singapore shed new light on combat operations during Operation Sindoor, going beyond the media briefings by the Indian Armed Forces during the hostilities.
		+
		+	First, General Chauhan’s remark about initial losses in the air, without going into details or giving a count of aircraft lost, is the first official admission of fighter jets being downed in combat operations.
		+
		+	Asked by Bloomberg if the Pakistani claim of downing six Indian jets was correct, the CDS said: “Absolutely incorrect.”
		+
		+	The remarks came exactly three weeks after India and Pakistan agreed on cessation of military strikes against each other. To be clear, at no point, during and after the hostilities, did the IAF ever deny losing any aircraft.
		+
		+	On May 11, a day after the two militaries reached a truce, Air Marshal A K Bharti, Director of Air Operations, responding to a question at a media briefing, said he would not like to comment on whether India lost any aircraft and cited the prevailing combat situation. He said losses were part of any combat, and the Indian military had achieved all its selected objectives and all IAF pilots were back home.
		+
		+	Air Marshal Bharti said the Pakistan Air Force lost “a few” aircraft, apart from suffering massive damage to assets and air bases during retaliatory high-precision strikes by Indian Armed Forces during the operation.
		+
		+	General Chauhan, while acknowledging Indian losses in the air, underlined that what was more important was why these losses (of aircraft) occurred, and what India did after that.
		+
		+	He spoke of how “we rectified tactics and then went back… in large numbers” to “hit air bases deep inside Pakistan, penetrated all their air defences with impunity, carried out precision strikes”.
		+
		+	He told Reuters that the IAF “flew all types of aircraft with all types of ordnances on the 10th” of May, the day India struck air bases deep inside Pakistan, including the Nur Khan air base in Rawalpindi.
		+
		+	He spoke on similar lines to Bloomberg: “What is important is not the jet being down, but why they were being (downed),” General Chauhan said.
		+
		+	“The good part is that we were able to understand the tactical mistake which we made, remedy it, rectify it and then implement it again after two days… flew all our jets again, targeting at long range,” he said.
		+
		+	Significantly, the CDS also told Reuters that although Pakistan is closely allied with China, there was no sign of any actual help from Beijing during the conflict.
		+
		+	“While this was unfolding from (April) 22nd onwards, we didn’t find any unusual activity in the operational or tactical depth of our northern borders, and things were generally all right,” he said.

		+
		+	New Delhi : Pakistan said India conducted strikes at seven more locations than the targets officially acknowledged by Indian armed forces between May 7 and 10 during Operation Sindoor.
		+
		+	A Pakistan govt document on its Operation Bunyan alMarsoos (Iron Wall) and India’s “unprovoked aggression”, shared with its media, lists out Indian drone strikes at Attock, Bahawalnagar, Gujrat and Jhang (Punjab province), Peshawar (Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province), and Chhor and Hyderabad (Sindh province), which it claimed killed many civilians.  None of these places were mentioned in the detailed briefings conducted by Indian foreign and military establishments. “We had disclosed the targets we hit in the briefings. This Pakistani document could be a propaganda attempt to show that India also targeted civilian sites,” an Indian defence official said.
		+
		+	After Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 civilians, India on May 7 hit 4 terror hubs in Pakistan and five in POK, in calibrated strikes against terror infrastructure across the border, without targeting any Pakistani military base or civilian centre. The targets ranged from Sawai Nala camp in Muzaffarabad in north to Markaz Taiba in Muridke (Lashkar-e-Taiba HQ) and Markaz Subhan at Bahawalpur (Jaish-e-Muhammed HQ) in south. After Pakistan escalated the situation by targeting Indian military bases and civilian centres with missiles and waves of drone swarms, IAF struck at least nine Pakistani airbases and at least four military radar sites.
