The Indian Air Force (IAF) has released satellite imagery showing extensive damage inflicted on terror infrastructure and airbases across Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) during its recent precision airstrikes under Operation Sindoor.
The strikes came in response to the Pahalgam terror attack that claimed the lives of 26 civilians and targeted strategic terror camps and military installations in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) between May 8 and May 10.
The images that are now being widely circulated, provide before-and-after comparisons of major targets, including the Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) hub in Bahawalpur and the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) base in Muridke, as well as 11 Pakistani airbases.

Bahawalpur & Muridke: Terror Camp Hubs Targeted
Two of the primary targets were key terror training centers. In Bahawalpur, Indian jets struck the Markaz Subhan Allah, JeM’s operational headquarters since 2015. The facility houses top leadership including Masood Azhar and Mufti Abdul Rauf Asghar, and is believed to have been central in plotting major attacks, including the 2019 Pulwama bombing.
At Muridke in Punjab province, the IAF hit the Markaz Taiba, LeT’s largest training and indoctrination facility. Established in 2000, this center annually enrolls about 1,000 students, many of whom are reportedly radicalised and recruited into LeT’s militant activities.

IAF sources stated that these high-value targets were neutralised with precision, reaffirming India’s zero-tolerance stance on terrorism.

Pakistani Airbases: 11 Strategic Sites Damaged
In a coordinated three-hour assault on the night of May 9–10, the IAF bombed 11 key Pakistani airbases including Nur Khan, Rafiqui, Murid, Sukkur, Sialkot, Pasrur, Chunian, Sargodha, Skardu, Bholari, and Jacobabad. The operation aimed to dismantle Pakistan's ability to launch aerial strikes via fighter jets and drones.

The strikes reportedly damaged infrastructure at bases housing F-16s and JF-17s, with estimates suggesting around 20% of the Pakistan Air Force’s operational infrastructure was crippled.
