Islamabad: Pakistan has once again embarrassed itself. The Pakistani government has now admitted that its Noor Khan airbase suffered heavy damage during the Indian attack in Operation Sindoor. This admission came not from just anyone, but from Pakistan's Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar. During a press conference, Ishaq Dar admitted that the Noor Khan airbase suffered significant damage due to precise Indian attacks during Operation Sindoor, and that personnel stationed there were also injured.

Ishaq Dar's Admission
Pakistan had claimed that it did not suffer significant damage during Operation Sindoor, but now a senior minister in its own government has exposed the lie. Ishaq Dar said that India launched several drone attacks into Pakistani territory within 36 hours, and one drone damaged their military installation, highlighting the accuracy of the Indian attacks in Operation Sindoor.

Ishaq Dar said, "India sent drones towards Pakistan. At least 80 drones were sent within 36 hours. We managed to intercept 79 out of 80, and only one drone damaged a military installation, and our personnel were also injured in this attack."

Conflict Between the Two Countries During Operation Sindoor
In April, 26 innocent Indian civilians were killed in a terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir. In response to this attack, India targeted terrorist bases located in Pakistan under Operation Sindoor. In retaliation, Pakistan also made an unsuccessful attempt to attack India, which led to a violent conflict between the two countries.

India launched precise attacks, targeting the Pakistani Air Force base Noor Khan in Chaklala. Overwhelmed by the Indian attacks, Pakistan's DGMO (Director General Military Operations) proposed a ceasefire to India's DGMO.

Satellite images taken by Maxar Technologies on May 13 showed that Pakistan's Noor Khan airbase had been damaged. However, Pakistan was not ready to admit this at the time. Now, the Pakistani Foreign Minister himself has admitted this in front of the media there, exposing the false claims of the Pakistani army.
