India’s planned attack on Pak Air Force bases

Fighter jets of the Indian Air Force targeted Pakistan Air Force's bases at Rafiqui, Murid, and Chaklala early this morning to counter Pakistan's reckless drone and missile attacks targeting civilian areas and military infrastructure in India's western sector.

In a government briefing, Wing Commander Vyomika Singh said India's precision attacks only targeted military targets. "Pakistan military targets at Rafiqui, Murid, Chaklala, Rahim Yar Khan, Sukkur, and Chunian were engaged using air-launched precision weapons from our fighter aircraft. Radar sites at Pasrur and Sialkot aviation bases were also targeted using precision munitions. While carrying out these responses, India ensured minimum collateral damage," she said.

India chose targets carefully. The objective was to cripple Pakistan's capability to launch aerial attacks using drones and fighter jets. The attack on these key air force centres has likely hit Pakistan's air reconnaissance and long-range strike capabilities. Rafiqui, Murid, and Chaklala were targeted with air-launched precision weapons.

Wing Commander Singh said the Indian armed forces are ready and all hostile actions have been effectively countered. "Indian armed forces reiterate their commitment to non-escalation, provided it is reciprocated by the Pakistan military."

Pakistan's reckless aerial attacks follow India's precision airstrikes on terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir under Operation Sindoor, launched to avenge the Pahalgam terror attacks that left 26 innocents dead.
