‘Airspace Untenable’: What Losses Pakistan Military Suffered Before Ceasefire

‘Airspace Untenable’: As India and Pakistan had agreed upon a ceasefire on Saturday, Indian armed forces had given reports of having inflicted heavy losses and damages to Pakistan, including its military infrastructure, such as land and air assets.

Addressing the media, Colonel Sofiya Qureshi said Pakistan's airfields at Skardu, Jacobabad, Sargodha, and Bholi had suffered severe damage.

“Pakistan’s air defence systems and radar systems were neutralised, and its airspace was made untenable. Along the Line of Control, Pakistan’s command and control, logistics installations, and military infrastructure suffered such heavy losses that their offensive and defensive capabilities were completely crippled,” said Colonel Sofiya.

She declared that Indian armed forces are prepared, strong, and firmly resolute to protect India's sovereignty and integrity.

Wing Commander Vyomkya Singh said that Pakistan was propagating forged allegations against the Indian Armed forces claiming that they had targeted mosques.

“Let us make it very clear here that India is a secular nation, and the Indian armed forces are a reflection of our constitutional values. We hold every place of worship of all faiths in the highest regard.”

The Indian operations were directed solely at terror camps and installations being used against India.

“No religious site, I repeat, no religious site has been targeted by the Indian armed forces. Over the past days, Pakistan has suffered very heavy and unsustainable losses after it launched an unprovoked attack on our installations,” said Vyomkya Singh.
