**Satellite Images Reveal Extensive Damage to Pakistani Air Bases After Reported Indian Strikes**

**New Delhi, India** – High-resolution satellite images obtained by NDTV show extensive damage to several Pakistani air bases, allegedly caused by recent Indian strikes. The images, taken before and after the reported strikes on May 10th, depict significant destruction at key military installations across Pakistan.

At the Murid air base, a three-meter-wide crater is visible just 30 meters from an underground facility. According to Damien Symon, a geospatial intelligence researcher at the Intel Lab, the targeted complex is heavily protected, suggesting it may house special equipment or serve as a hardened operational shelter. Damage to the rooftop of a nearby structure, believed to be a command-and-control node near unmanned aerial vehicle hangars, is also evident in the images.

The Nur Khan air base, a strategic location between Rawalpindi and Islamabad, also suffered significant damage. Satellite imagery shows two trailer trucks, believed to be command and control facilities, destroyed, with the adjacent 7,000 sq ft facility being demolished following internal and structural damage caused by strikes.

Other air bases, including Jacobabad, Bholari, Sukkur, and Rahim Yar Khan, also sustained considerable damage, according to the satellite imagery. At Jacobabad, a hangar was damaged, while at Bholari, the roof of a hangar was severely damaged. The Sukkur air base shows severe structural damage, vegetation burn, and a possible burn/strike scar. At the Rahim Yar Khan air base, a large crater was formed on the runway. At Mushaf airbase (earlier known as Sargodha) the runway was damaged at two locations.

These images reveal the extent of the damage inflicted on Pakistani air infrastructure, suggesting a measured and calibrated Indian response.
