New Delhi, May 10 (UNI) In response to Pakistan launching multiple attacks on India, the Indian Armed Forces carried out precision attacks on military targets in Pakistan, in Rafiqui, Murid, Chaklala, Rahim Yar Khan, Sukkur and Chunian, hitting command and control centres, radar sites and weapon storage areas, Indian defence officials said.



Defence Officials, Wing Commander Vyomika Singh, and Col Sofiy Qureshi, briefing media on the latest escalations, said:



“Pakistani military continued with its provocations, carrying out aggressive actions employing multiple threat vectors all along the western border, using UCAV combat drones, drones, long-range weapons, loitering munitions and fighter aircrafts to target civilian areas and military infrastructure.



The Pakistan military also resorted to air intrusions using drones and firing of heavy calibre weapons along the Line of Control.







Pakistani attacks were also encountered along the International Border and the Line of Control, with “air intrusions and several harassment attacks” attempted from Srinagar till Naliya at more than 26 locations, they said.



The Indian Armed Forces successfully neutralised these threats and majority of the vectors.



“However, limited damage was sustained to equipment and personnel at the Indian Air Force stations at Udhampur, Pathankot, Adampur and Bhuj.



“There were also several high-speed missile attacks noticed subsequently after 0140 hours in the night at several air bases in Punjab,” the said.







Pakistan also targeted civilian infrastructure – hitting the medicare centre and school premises at the air bases of Srinagar, Awantipora and Udhampur, they said.



“In a swift and calibrated response, Indian Armed Forces carried out precision attacks only on identified military targets.



“These included technical infrastructure, command and control centres, radar sites and weapon storage areas. Pakistan military targets at Rafiqui, Murid, Chaklala, Rahim Yar Khan, Sukkur and Chunian were engaged using air-launched precision weapons from our fighter aircrafts.



“Radar sites at Pasrur and Sialkot aviation base were also targeted using precision munitions. While carrying out these responses, India ensured minimum collateral damage,” they said.











They also debunked Pakistan’s malicious misinformation campaign against India.



“Pakistan has also attempted to execute a continued malicious misinformation campaign with claims of destruction of Indian S-400 system at Adampur, destruction of airfields at Suratgarh and Sirsa, BrahMos base at Nagrota, RT gun positions at Dehrangyari and Chandigarh Forward Ammunition Depot; with heavy damages to other military stations being propagated on social media.



“India unequivocally rejects these false narratives being spread by Pakistan,” they said.







“Along the Line of Control also, Pakistan has attempted multiple air intrusions using drones and conducted shelling using heavy-calibre RT guns, targeting civilian infrastructure and killing some civilians. Heavy exchange of artillery mortars and small-arm fire in Kupwara, Baramulla, Poonch, Rajouri and Akhnoor sectors continued. Indian Army has responded effectively and proportionately, causing extensive damage to the Pakistan Army,” they said.







The Pakistan military has been observed to be moving their troops into forward areas, indicating offensive intent to further escalate the situation. Indian Armed Forces remain in a high state of operational readiness. All hostile actions have been effectively countered and responded appropriately.



“Indian Armed Forces reiterate their commitment to non-escalation, provided it is reciprocated by the Pakistan Military,” they said.
