Pak PM admits to missiles hitting Nur Khan airbase

Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif admitted that India’s ballistic missiles hit Nur Khan airbase and other sites on May 10, a rare acknowledgement that contradicts Pakistan’s usual stance of denial when it comes to Indian military action.

Sharif said army chief General Asim Munir called him around 2.30 am to report the strikes. Sharif mentioned the use of local technology and Chinese jets by Pakistan’s air force, but confirmed that India’s missiles hit their targets.

“At 2.30 am on May 10, General Munir called me on secure line and informed me that India's missiles have hit Nur Khan airbase and other areas. Our air force used homegrown technology to save our country and they even used modern gadgets and technology on Chinese jets,” Sharif said in a report by Geo News.

BJP leader Amit Malviya, in a post on X, said, “Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif himself admits that General Munir called him at 2.30 am to inform him that India had bombed Nur Khan airbase and several other locations. This speaks volumes about the scale, precision and boldness of Operation Sindoor.”
