Pakistan Reconstructs Murid Airbase After IAF Strike
The Indian Air Force attacked a building at Pakistan's Murid Airbase on May 10, 2025.
This building is important for controlling drones.
The attack caused a lot of damage, including a collapsed roof.
Satellite pictures show that Pakistan is now fixing the building, covering it with a big red tarp.
Experts think the Indians used special missiles that go through roofs to cause maximum damage inside.
The airbase is also a hub for unmanned vehicles.
Other Pakistani airbases were also hit and are being repaired.
This happened during a big conflict between India and Pakistan.
Indian Air Force struck a command and control building at Murid Airbase on May 10, 2025.
Satellite imagery shows extensive reconstruction activity covered by a large red tarpaulin.
Damage included roof collapse, structural damage, and likely internal destruction.
Pakistan is repairing multiple airbases, including runways and hangars, after IAF strikes.
The strike was a response to Pakistani drone incursions and attacks on Indian Air Force facilities.

Quotes
Damien Symon
Satellite imagery expert
“India had targeted this building during its conflict with Pakistan in May 2025, satellite imagery showed significant damage to its roof at the time. Pakistan had initially placed tarpaulin only over the affected sections possible as structural and damage evaluations were underway. Now with the building fully enclosed in new tarpaulin and construction mesh it is likely reconstruction efforts are finally underway. The scale of containment around the building also suggests that there likely was more internal damage to site than perceived earlier.”
