India destroys 8 Pakistani air and army bases

  • India retaliates after Pakistan attacks 26 locations

  • Several Pakistani military posts and terrorist launch pads destroyed

New Delhi – After India launched attacks on terrorist camps in Pakistan, an enraged Pakistan tried to retaliate for the third consecutive day with hundreds of drones and missiles targeting India. However, India intercepted and destroyed these drones and missiles mid-air. On the morning of 10thMay, India launched a counterattack, targeting and striking 4 Pakistani Air Force bases and 4 Army bases.

The exact extent of damage is not confirmed, but videos from within Pakistan have surfaced on social media showing the aftermath. The Indian military also destroyed jihadi terrorist launch pads (staging areas of terrorists being sent for operations in India) in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. The number of terrorists killed remains unknown. Pakistan also fired on several areas along the Jammu and Kashmir border, using mortars. This resulted in the death of five Indian citizens. In response, Indian forces retaliated with gunfire and shelling, destroying Pakistani posts. The Indian Army released videos of this response.

1. From the night of 9thMay to the morning of 10th May, Pakistan launched drone and missile attacks on Indian Army and Air Force bases and civilian areas in 26 locations across Jammu-Kashmir, Punjab, Rajasthan, Haryana, and Gujarat.

2. India intercepted and neutralised these attacks using S-400 and other air defence systems. Among the weapons destroyed was Pakistan’s ‘Fatah-1’ missile.

3. Pakistan fired in Rajouri, Poonch, and Jammu. In Rajouri, a mortar shell killed Additional District Development Commissioner Raj Kumar Thapa on the morning of 10th May. Four others were also reported dead.

4. On the morning of 10th May, India targeted four Pakistani Air Force bases at Nur Khan (Rawalpindi), Murid (Chakwal, Punjab), Rafiqui (Shorkot, Punjab), and Rahim Yar Khan (Punjab) using drones. Although Pakistan claimed minimal damage, videos showed fires and smoke.

5. Indian attacks also struck army bases at Sukkur, Chunian, Pasrur, and Sialkot, as well as the Air Force base in Jacobabad. Videos showed fires breaking out after the strikes.

6. Following India’s retaliation, Pakistan suspended all flight operations, including for international flights.

Pakistan’s hollow claim about S-400

Pakistan had previously claimed to have struck Indian Air Force bases at Adampur, Udhampur, Pathankot, Suratgarh, and Sirsa, including allegedly destroying India’s S-400 air defence system in Udhampur. The Indian military strongly denied these claims. Pakistan also falsely claimed to have destroyed an Indian military training centre in Rajouri and a BrahMos missile storage facility in Beas, Punjab.

Any terrorist attack will be considered an act of war : India

In the backdrop of the escalating war-like situation between India and Pakistan, India has announced a new policy: any future terrorist act against India will be considered an act of war and will be responded to accordingly.

Editorial Perspective

Pakistan attacks India daily, and then India retaliates by repelling the attacks. Instead of constantly waiting for and responding to Pakistan’s attacks, it is now necessary for India to abandon non-violence and proactively strike Pakistan to destroy its entire military capability. Only then will the terrorist factories in Pakistan be eliminated, India will be free of terrorism, and Hindus will be safe.
