The official reiterated that India’s armed forces reiterated their commitment to “not retreating” as long as the Pakistani military “repeats it”.

According to WG CDR Singh, Indian armed forces carried out precise attacks in a rapid and calibrated response, “only against identified” military targets – technical infrastructure, command and control centers, radar sites and weapons storage areas. “Pakistan’s military objectives are to use precise weapons of air conditioning on our fighter planes, radar sites in Pasrur and radar sites in Sialkot Aviation Base, and precise response measures are also used to deal with these responses.

The government also “clearly” rejected the “false narrative” spreading in Pakistan. A series of posts and videos were circulating throughout the night and during the day, with several Indian jets playing and the military bases were hit.

In this regard, WG CDR Singh said that Pakistani troops were moving their troops to the forward zone, adding: “The Indian armed forces remain in a high state of operational readiness. All hostilities have effectively counterattacked and responded appropriately.”

At the end of the briefing, some images of air bases in Punjab and Rajasthan and time and date stamps were shown, WG CDR Singh said it was obvious that they were “debunking” Pakistani claims that Pakistan claimed to have caused damage in India’s air. “You can also see normal conditions at these air stone stations,” she added.

Lt. General Ahmed Sharif Choudhury, DG ISPR, claimed that according to reports from local media, India fired air into ground missiles and all PAF assets remained safe.
