India’s attack on 11 Pakistani airbases destroys 20% of its Air Force assets

India’s attack on 11 of Pakistan’s airbases on May 10 led to the destruction of 20% of Pakistan’s air force assets, with over 50 individuals, including a squadron leader, killed, according to News18.

The strikes targeted major ammunition depots and key airbases such as Sargodha and Bholari, where F-16 and JF-17 fighter jets were stationed. As a result, nearly 20% of Pakistan’s air force infrastructure was destroyed. Among those killed in the attack on Bholari airbase were Squadron Leader Usman Yusuf and four airmen.

“On May 9-10, India became the first country to strike 11 airbases of a nuclear-armed nation in a single operation, destroying 20% of Pakistan’s air force assets. High casualties were inflicted at Bholari airbase, including the death of Squadron Leader Usman Yusuf and destruction of key fighter jets," the sources told News18.

Earlier, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that over 100 terrorists were killed in Operation Sindoor during the May 7 strike on terrorist headquarters in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.

On May 10, within a span of just three hours, India targeted 11 military installations, including Noor Khan, Rafiqui, Murid, Sukkur, Sialkot, Pasrur, Chunian, Sargodha, Skardu, Bholari, and Jacobabad. Satellite images before and after the strikes on Shahbaz airbase in Jacobabad and Bholari airbase clearly illustrate the scale of the destruction.
