India struck more targets within Pakistan during Operation Sindoor than it officially disclosed. A Pakistani dossier on its own Operation Bunyan un Marsoos confirmed this. The dossier revealed that India hit at least seven more targets than Indian forces had referred to in public statements.

Maps in the dossier showed strikes on Peshawar, Jhang, Hyderabad in Sindh, Gujrat in Punjab, Bhawalnagar, Attock and Chor.

The Indian Air Force and the Director General of Military Operations did not name these locations during press briefings after last month’s airstrikes.

This revelation showed that India had struck far deeper than it acknowledged. It also cast Operation Sindoor in a new light and made it clear why Pakistan requested a ceasefire. The finding directly challenged Islamabad’s bold claims of inflicting heavy damage on India.

The Indian military establishment held detailed briefings. It explained the scale and depth of its counterstrike after the Pahalgam terror attack killed 26 civilians.

In this context, leaving out these targets likely reflected a calculated strategy. India appeared to allow Pakistan to reveal the full extent of damage, leaving no room for Islamabad to misrepresent the situation.

Earlier, Maxar Technologies released satellite imagery. These images showed the damage caused by India’s precision strikes during Operation Sindoor.

India hit nine locations in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. These included the Jaish-e-Mohammed headquarters in Bahawalpur and the Lashkar-e-Toiba training centre in Muridke. India also targeted Muzaffarabad, Kotli, Rawalakot, Chakswari, Bhimber, Neelum Valley, Jhelum, and Chakwal on May 7.

Even though India clearly stated that it had only targeted terror bases, Pakistan responded by launching drones and missiles at civilian areas and military sites across western India. India retaliated by striking Pakistan’s military establishment.

Indian forces targeted eleven air bases. These included Nur Khan, Rafiqui, Murid, Sukkur, Sialkot, Pasrur, Chunian, Sargodha, Skardu, Bholari and Jacobabad. The heavy damage left Pakistan with no choice but to seek a ceasefire, which ended the three-day escalation.

India stressed that Operation Sindoor had drawn a firm red line. It declared that any terrorist act in India would now be treated as an act of war and would trigger strong retaliation.

India displayed its full military capability during the conflict.

As the Pakistan dossier confirmed, India struck deeper and harder than it had acknowledged publicly.
