The targets of the airstrikes included several important airbases in Pakistan such as Chaklala, Rafiq, and Rahim Yar Khan. Other locations targeted included Sargodha, Bhulari, and Jacobabad.
The IAF released satellite images showing the damage done to terror camps and military airfields in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) during the operation. These images show before-and-after pictures of key locations, including the Jaish-e-Mohammad base in Bahawalpur and the Lashkar-e-Taiba camp in Muridke, both in Pakistan’s Punjab province. The strikes also damaged Pakistani air defence systems and military airfields.
The IAF emphasized that the operation was carried out with precision and professionalism, meeting India’s strategic goals and national interests. They stressed that this operation aimed to neutralize terrorist threats, deter aggression from Pakistan, and send a clear message about India’s commitment to fighting terrorism. At the same time, India has maintained strategic restraint and sought international support for its actions.
