📢 Indian Army Admits Damage from Pakistani Air Strikes
In a significant admission, the Indian Army has confirmed that Pakistan’s retaliatory air strikes caused damage to multiple Indian defense installations and air bases. This statement came during a joint press conference in New Delhi with Indian Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri.
An Indian Army official revealed that Pakistan targeted 26 strategic locations using fighter jets, high-speed missiles, and drones.
🎯 Key Targets: Udhampur, Pathankot, and Adampur
The Army spokesperson stated that airfields in Udhampur, Adampur, and Pathankot sustained damage during the strikes. The Punjab air base station was specifically mentioned as a site of direct missile impact.
Pakistan reportedly used long-range precision weapons, and although the spokesperson claimed that no site was “completely destroyed,” she acknowledged that the damage was significant.
🛡 Mixed Signals from Indian Officials
Despite the military confirmation of damage, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri attempted to downplay the situation. He claimed that Pakistan exaggerated its success and denied that Indian civilian areas were targeted.
Misri also accused Pakistan of misinformation, while denying any Indian military activity in Afghanistan.
😔 Media Perception: Faces Reveal the Story
Observers noted that the expressions of the Indian officials, particularly the military spokeswoman and the Foreign Secretary, conveyed unease. Their somber demeanor at the press briefing suggested efforts to minimize public perception of losses.
