Pakistan Admits India's Drone Attack on Nur Khan Airbase
Pakistan's Deputy Prime Minister, Ishaq Dar, recently admitted that India's drone attacks during Operation Sindoor hit the Nur Khan Airbase in Pakistan.
He said that out of 80 drone attacks, only one was successful, which hit the airbase.
The attack happened in May 2025, and Dar talked about it in a press conference.
India launched this operation after a terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir.
The airbase suffered significant damage, and many people were injured.
This is a big deal because Pakistan usually doesn't admit when India attacks them.
Some people, like an Indian Army veteran, say Pakistan is hiding the true scale of the damage and casualties.
Satellite images also show that many Pakistani air bases were damaged.
Pakistan's Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar admitted that India's drone attacks during Operation Sindoor hit the Nur Khan Airbase.
Out of 80 drone attacks, only one was successful, causing significant damage to the airbase and injuring personnel.
The attack occurred on May 10, 2025, following India's retaliatory operation against terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.
India targeted 11 military installations, including Nur Khan, Rafiqui, Murid, Sukkur, Sialkot, Pasrur, Chunian, Sargodha, Skardu, Bholari, and Jaco-babad.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif had previously acknowledged the attack on Nur Khan Airbase in May 2025.
