Operation Sindoor: Pakistani dossier reveals more sites where India struck

A Pakistani dossier has revealed more locations where Indian forces struck during Operation Sindoor, including positions deep across the border. A dossier on Pakistani Operation Bunyan un Marsoos, which has been shared recently, names seven additional targets that were in Indian crosshairs during the four-day firefight.

The dossier alleges that India escalated matters and carried out strikes after the Pahalgam terror attack and tried to paint the entire cross-border firefight as a sign of Indian aggression. However, in maps and locations that have been shared in the document, seven new areas where Indian strikes took place have come to light.

The dossier shows Indian drone and missile strikes in Peshawar, Gujrat (Punjab), Bhawalnagar, Attock, Chorr, Jhang and Hyderabad (Sindh). In successive briefings by the Indian military, these places did not find a mention. India had first spoken about nine terror targets being taken down in PoK and at Bahawalpur and Murdike, in retaliation to the Pahalgam terror attack.

Later on, when the Pakistan military tried to target Indian positions, the Air Force carried out a devastating strike on Pakistani air defence systems. While all the locations of these attacks were not mentioned, some of them could be among the new names shared in the Pakistani dossier.

The Pakistani dossier does not name several airbases that were hit by the Indian Air Force, even though there is ample commercial satellite imagery available that shows significant damage to hangars, command and control centres and runways. India had targeted 11 air bases in Pakistan and caused significant damage, including at Nur Khan, Bholari, Jacobabad and Murid, which have been confirmed using satellite imagery in the subsequent days.
