India Debunks Pakistan’s “Misinformation Campaign” Post-Ceasefire

GG News Bureau
New Delhi, 10th May: After the announcement of a ceasefire between India and Pakistan, officials from the Indian defence forces held a press conference today to clarify claims made by Pakistan regarding the recent military confrontation and provide an assessment of the impact on the Pakistani side.

The press conference, addressed by Commodore Raghu R Nair, Wing Commander Vyomika Singh, and Colonel Sofiya Qureshi, directly refuted several claims circulating from Pakistan.

Colonel Sofiya Qureshi stated unequivocally, “Pakistan claimed that it damaged our S400 and Brahmos missile base with its JF 17, which is completely wrong.” She further stressed that Pakistan’s misinformation campaign claiming damage to Indian airfields in Sirsa, Jammu, Pathankot, Bhatinda, Nalia, and Bhuj, as well as ammunition depots in Chandigarh and Vyas, was also “completely wrong.”

Addressing false allegations about the Indian Army damaging mosques, she asserted India’s secular nature and the military’s reflection of its constitutional values.

Wing Commander Vyomika Singh detailed the consequences faced by Pakistan following what she termed its “unprovoked attack on Indian installations.”

She stated that Pakistan had suffered “very heavy and unsustainable losses” on both land and in the air. According to Singh, there has been “extensive damage to the crucial Pakistani air bases – Skardu, Jacobabad and Bholari,” along with a “loss of AD weapon systems and radar,” which made the defence of Pakistani airspace untenable. Across the Line of Control, she reported “extensive and precise damage to military infrastructure, command control centres, and logistic installations,” in addition to the loss of two military personnel, leading to a “complete breakdown of its defensive and offensive capability and also Pakistani morale.”

While confirming adherence to the ceasefire understanding, Commodore Raghu R Nair emphasized India’s continued state of readiness.

“While the Indian Army, Indian Navy and Indian Air Force will be adhering to the understanding, we remain fully prepared and vigilant and committed to defending the sovereignty and integrity of the motherland,” he stated.

He asserted that every past misadventure by Pakistan has been met with strength and warned that “Every future escalation will invite a decisive response. We remain fully operationally ready to launch whatever operations may be required in defence of the nation.”
