Did India Hit Pakistans Nuclear Facility In Kirana Hills? Air Marshal AK Bharti Says....
Operation Sindoor: The Indian Armed Forces have shared the details of the devastation they have caused in Pakistan with Operation Sindoor. The India Army has stated that it has hit over 10 airbases of Pakistan while destroying their military installations at multiple sites. India also confirmed the downing of a Pakistani Mirage jet and the destruction of hundreds of Turkish jets. Notably, it was reported that India used missiles like BrahMos, SCALP, Hammer and drones to target Pakistani military installations and airbases.
Amid this, a claim went viral on social media with users sharing satellite images and videos claiming that India hit Kirana Hills in Pakistan. According to claims, Pakistan has built an underground nuclear storage facility in the Kirana Hills. Videos were shared on X where plumes of smoke were seen rising from the hill. During Monday's press briefing, Air Marshal AK Bharti was asked whether the Indian Air Force hit the Kirana Hills site or not.
Pakistani copium to Kirna Hills nuclear storage site being mauled is that only empty hillside was hit. Reality is different. The hills have deep underground sites with atleast 6 visible entrances. Something very important was hit with multiple penetrating munitions.

Responding to the question smilingly, Bharti said, "Thank you for letting us know that Kirana Hills houses some nuclear installations. We didn't know. We have not hit the Kirana hills, whatever facility is there."

Earlier, Air Marshal Bharti had said that Pakistan knows the result of its future misadventure very well. "This time, if Pakistan dares to take any action, then Pakistan knows it what we are going to do," the Air Marshal warned.
However, Air Marshal AK Bharti stated on Monday that the purpose of Operation Sindoor was to target terrorists, and not to engage with the Pakistan Military or Pakistani civilians. "Our fight is with the terrorists, our fight is not with the Pakistan Military or Pakistan civilians, so that is very clear. We are very clear in our targeting," he said.
Highlighting the evolving nature of modern warfare, Air Marshal AK Bharti stated that future conflicts would differ drastically from previous engagements and stressed the importance of staying ahead of adversaries in an ever-changing battlefield. "This was a different kind of warfare and is bound to happen. God forbid, but if we fight another war, that would be completely different from this one. It is a cat-and-mouse game, and we need to be ahead of the curve to beat the adversary," he said.

Congress contacted me about demand for special Parliament session, told them not the right time: Supriya Sule
Having broken ranks with the opposition on their demand for a special session of Parliament to discuss the developments following the Pahalgam terror attack, NCP (SP) MP Supriya Sule on Friday said the Congress had contacted her when she was abroad heading the all-party delegation and she told them to wait as it was 'not the right time to ask the government hard questions'. 'It was time for the country to show a united face,' she said. 'While I was abroad as a part of the delegation, the Congress contacted me. I said I cannot join them as I am away and told them to wait till all the delegations return. I told them, let's have a meeting and decide after I return, but it happened before I returned. That is why I could not sign the letter to the Prime Minister,' Sule told The Indian Express. Earlier this week, 16 Opposition parties led by the Congress wrote to Modi demanding a special session, saying 'there are serious questions facing the nation about the terror attack, killing of civilians in Poonch, Uri and Rajouri, the ceasefire announcements, and the implications on our national security and foreign policy'. 'We have supported the government's efforts to engage with the international community on India's position. The government has briefed foreign nations and the media, but not Parliament – keeping the people of India and their elected representatives in the dark,' the Opposition parties said. The NCP (SP) was not a signatory to the letter. Asked whether that was the reason for her party not signing the letter, Sule said, 'That's exactly because… you have to understand the factual situation. I was out. (Sharad) Pawar sahab had already made the statement that till the entire operation is over that the NCP will stand by the government. We will not say a word against the government. This is not the time to do petty politics. This is an issue of India's larger interest. So country comes first, then the state, then the party and then family.' Sule said the country comes first and India must send a message to the world that we are united against any terror attack. 'Pawar sahab had made it very clear. We were expecting that when the July session comes, hopefully everything will be settled by then, then we can definitely debate it. Because in a vibrant democracy, every issue must be debated, but there has to be a right time for it.' Saying that Pawar had made it clear that Operation Sindoor was ongoing and no special session was required till it finishes, Sule said her party was with the government on sensitive issues. 'Once the operation is over, we will ask the government hard questions, but not now. This is not the moment, especially when we were all out of India. We were telling the world more information, giving the facts to the world. Then we cannot ask questions. See, it's country first, then the state, then the party and then your family,' she said. Sule and the members of her delegation — they travelled to Egypt, Qatar, Ethiopia and South Africa — met External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Friday and provided him with feedback about their interactions. 'It's a lot of learning and we have come with a lot of feedback for the government. The countries which we visited were very, very supportive, and stand united and very strongly with the government of India or any terror attack anywhere in the world,' she said. Sule said her party would 'definitely ask' the government questions during the Monsoon session. 'Of course, I think India will ask questions, not just the NCP (SP). India will ask questions. India wants to know a lot of answers. It is not just about the NCP (SP), India wants to know.'

News18 polls closes on June 7, vote before 3 pm: Is 'Narendar Surrender' remark in good taste? Is the Congress showing respect to Armed forces? Tell us what you think In the aftermath of the April 22 Pahalgam attack, most opposition parties extended their support to the Bharatiya Janata Party-led Central government. However, soon after India's Operation Sindoor – the retaliatory strikes on the terror hubs in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (PoK) – the Congress began to target PM Narendra Modi. In his several recent speeches, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi used the slogan 'Narender Surrender' to allege that PM Modi 'surrendered" after a call from US President Donald Trump during the recent India-Pakistan military conflict. Even as Trump on multiple occasions claimed that he had a role in the ceasefire between India and Pakistan, the Centre has maintained that the Operation was paused on the request of Pakistan and no third party was involved in the process. Gandhi's remarks, meanwhile, sparked a massive backlash, with the BJP accusing him of speaking Pakistan's language and insulting the Army. click here. Polling closes at 3 pm on June 7, so make sure your voice is heard.
