In a rare public admission, Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has confirmed that India carried out a precision missile strike on the Nur Khan airbase in Rawalpindi, among other locations, as part of Operation Sindoor.


The revelation came during his speech at a special ‘Youm-e-Tashakur’ event in Islamabad, where he disclosed that Pakistan Army Chief General Asim Munir personally informed him of the strikes at 2:30am on May 10.

“On the intervening night of May 9 and 10, General Munir called me on a secure line and informed me that Indian ballistic missiles had struck Nur Khan airbase and other areas,” Sharif stated in a video that has since gone viral on social media. He added that the Army chief sounded confident and patriotic despite the unfolding crisis.

This public confirmation stands in stark contrast to Pakistan’s usual position of denying or downplaying Indian military actions.

Sharif also highlighted that Pakistan’s Air Force used indigenous technology in its defensive response, even targeting Chinese jets with modern gadgets and systems, in an apparent attempt to showcase national military capabilities.

On May 10, Pakistan’s military had held an urgent press conference, stating that Indian missiles and drones had targeted three key airbases:

  • Nur Khan (Chaklala, Rawalpindi)

  • Murid (Chakwal)

  • Rafiqui (Shorkot, Jhang district)

In addition, satellite images from Maxar Technologies confirmed visible damage at four airbases, including Nur Khan, Mushaf (Sargodha), Bholari, and Shahbaz (Jacobabad), indicating the scale of India’s coordinated strike.

Indian political figures were quick to react. BJP IT Cell chief Amit Malviya posted on X, “Let that sink in — the Prime Minister was woken up in the middle of the night with news of strikes deep inside Pakistan. This speaks volumes about the scale, precision, and boldness of #OperationSindoor.”

The acknowledgment has sparked renewed debate over India-Pakistan military dynamics and raised questions about potential diplomatic or retaliatory escalations in the days to come.
