NEW DELHI: During the press briefing on Operation Sindoor , the government on Saturday debunked the propaganda that Indian air bases were damaged in Pakistani military attack.
In the press brief by the foreign secretary Vikram Misri, Col Sofiya Qureshi and Wing Commander Vyomika Singh , a photo of airbase was shown with a time stamp. In the photo, the airbase appear unscathed.
Col Qureshi said that Indian forces neutralised many dangers, but Pakistan tried to infiltrate via Air at more than 26 places. She, however, said that equipment at air force bases in Udhampur, Bhuj, Pathankot, Bathinda were damaged.
"Pakistani army is continuously attacking the western borders; it has used drones, long-range weapons, loitering munitions and fighter jets to attack India's military sites... India neutralised many dangers, but Pakistan tried to infiltrate via Air at more than 26 places, and they damaged our equipment and personnel at air force bases in Udhampur, Bhuj, Pathankot, Bathinda. They used high-speed missiles at 1:40 am to target Punjab's air base. They even attacked health facilities and schools," said Col Sofiya Qureshi.
Wing Commander Vyomika Singh said that Pakistan was "moving its troops towards forward areas, indicating an offensive intent to further escalation".
"Pakistan Army has been observed to be moving its troops towards forward areas, indicating an offensive intent to further escalation. Indian armed forces remain in a high state of operational readiness, and all hostile actions have been effectively countered and responded proportionately. Indian armed forces reiterated their commitment to non-escalation, provided the Pakistan side reciprocates," said Wing Commander Vyomika Singh
