Zoomed in: Experts share satellite images to spot missile hits on Pakistani air bases

.

Open source intelligence (OSINT) experts have released high-resolution visuals revealing extensive damage to Pakistani air bases and terror camps, caused by Indian cruise missile strikes.

The images, corroborated by satellite data and drone footage, show the aftermath of precision attacks targeting facilities in Muridke, Bahawalpur, and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).

Analysts highlighted the accuracy of the strikes and the effectiveness of India’s long-range weapon systems, including SCALP missiles and AASM Hammer bombs launched from Rafale jets.

These included radar installations, command and control centres, and ammunition depots in Rafiqui, Chaklala, Rahim Yar Khan, Sukkur, and Sialkot.

Kawa Space shared bomb damage assessment (BDA) images of the PAF base in Bholari, showing visible impact on a hangar. The company attributed the damage to a strike by an Indian ALCM.

Damien Symon, a prominent OSINT analyst who operates the widely followed account detresfa_ on X (formerly Twitter), corroborated the findings, noting, “Imagery released by Kawa Space spotlights damage at Pakistan’s Bholari Airbase – the Indian Air Force strike appears to have severely damaged a hangar, debris visible along with structural damage. Runway proximity suggests a quick reaction role for the hangar.”

Kawa Space also published a separate BDA of the Mushaf Airbase in Sargodha, asserting that Indian strikes had destroyed sections of the runway.

Similar assessments were made about PAF Base Shahbaz in Jacobabad. Imagery taken on Sunday shows a direct impact on a hangar, with visible signs of a targeted precision strike. Symon commented on the image, stating the strike at Jacobabad “appears to have affected a hangar on the base’s main apron,” and added that there may also be minor damage to the air traffic control (ATC) building.

In addition, satellite imagery from Chinese firm MizazVision reportedly reveals damage at Pakistan’s Nur Khan Airbase. Symon said that the Indian Air Force “appears to have focused on disabling infrastructure and ground support vehicles present on site at the time.”

Additionally, in a tri-service briefing held in New Delhi, Indian military chiefs highlighted previously unreleased footage of Operation Sindoor.

The strikes, according to officials, were launched in retaliation for the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 Hindu pilgrims. The targeted locations were reportedly key training and operational hubs of Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba—UN-designated terror outfits.

The visuals displayed destroyed ammunition depots, training camps, and infrastructure used by terrorist groups. Defence officials stated that utmost care was taken to avoid civilian casualties, and all missions were planned with precision intelligence support.
