Pakistan Army Headquarters To Relocate After India's Rawalpindi Attack? Exclusive

The GHQ in Rawalpindi is situated in a densely populated urban area. It has no natural geographical defences such as mountains or forests. Its proximity to Islamabad (10 km) makes it a high-value target. The base houses Pakistan's top military leadership, including Munir. It also coordinates critical operations such as nuclear command, counter-terrorism operations. During the Nur Khan Khan airbase attack, Indian drones and missiles bypassed Pakistan's air defence radars and Chinese HQ-9 systems to strike near GHQ. 'The Pakistan army thinks the Indian side has signalled by sending drones near the stadium. This raised alarms about gaps in radar coverage and electronic warfare capabilities. MIZAZVISION and Kawa Space confirmed damage to the infrastructure, including fuel depots and drone hangars," said sources.

India's Strikes Rattle Pak Army: Asim Munir Moved To Bunker After Nur Khan Hit

Last Updated: The relocation reflects not only a tactical response but also the psychological impact of India's deep-penetration capability on Pakistan's military leadership Pakistan Army Chief General Asim Munir has been moved to a fortified bunker within the General Headquarters (GHQ) in Rawalpindi, CNN-News18 has exclusively learned, following India's high-precision strikes on the Nur Khan Airbase during Operation Sindoor. Sources say the relocation reflects not only a tactical response but also the psychological impact of India's deep-penetration capability on Pakistan's military leadership. Munir's temporary sheltering underscores a heightened sense of insecurity within the Pakistani top brass, with reports now indicating that his operational base will be shifted to mitigate future vulnerabilities. The Nur Khan Airbase—just 10 km from Islamabad and home to Pakistan's Air Mobility Command—was among the key targets struck by India in response to a series of coordinated attacks by Pakistan on India's military installations as well as civilian infrastructure. According to satellite imagery from Chinese firm MIZAZVISION and India's Kawa Space, the base suffered severe structural damage, including destroyed fuel trucks, a compromised warehouse roof, and debris scattered near the runway.

A C-130B/E was visibly damaged in the attack, significantly impacting Pakistan's aerial logistics and VIP mobility. Between 8 and 10 May, IAF fighter jets struck 11 military air bases across Pakistan in a coordinated, precision-led campaign. 'Within 3 hours, 11 bases were attacked, including Nur Khan, Rafiqui, Murid, Sukkur, Sialkot, Pasrur, Chunian, Sargodha, Skaru, Bholari and Jacobabad," DGMO Lieutenant General Rajiv Ghai said in a press briefing. India's ability to target such a vital military installation has reportedly shaken Pakistan's defence establishment. Following the strike, Pakistan temporarily closed its airspace amid fears of further escalation. CNN-News18 had earlier reported that Pakistan urgently convened its Command and Control Authority following India's strikes — a key step that eventually paved the way for the ceasefire. Security analysts now speculate that Islamabad may relocate key command centres to minimise exposure, a move that reflects the depth of the strategic blow delivered by Operation Sindoor. Operation Sindoor India launched 'precision strikes" under Operation Sindoor on nine terror targets in Pakistan and PoK following the Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 civilians. The strikes killed at least 10 family members of JeM chief Masood Azhar and four close aides. The strikes were carefully calibrated, with precision targeting and were monitored by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. In response to Pakistan's retaliatory drone and missile attacks on May 7, 8, and 9, targeting multiple Indian cities and military installations, India launched Kamikaze drones to destroy Pakistani air defences across the country, including neutralising the air defence system of Lahore. However, New Delhi and Islamabad announced a ceasefire on Saturday. But just hours later, Pakistan violated the 'understanding' by launching drones across the International Border and the Line of Control. The Indian Army said Sunday night was the 'first calm" night along the Line of Control (LoC) in recent days. Watch India Pakistan Breaking News on CNN-News18.

Satellite images of Pakistan's ravaged airbases surface, after India's precision strikes

As Pakistan continues to remain in denial over India hitting its military installations and airbases with precision, the satellite images have started coming to the fore, exposing its bluster and hollow claims. Satellite images procured by a Chinese firm, MIZAZVISION, show the damage at Pakistan's Noor Khan airbase, one of its most strategic airstrips. The satellite images show disabled infrastructure and also support vehicles grounded on the site. Nur Khan airbase, located in Rawalpindi, is in close proximity to the Pakistan Army's headquarters. The Indian strikes came as a symbolic blow to Pakistan, exposing the gaps in Pakistan's air defence system and also its inability to defend this high-value target. Notably, India's targeted strikes on multiple Pakistani airbases, as part of Operation Sindoor, inflicted heavy damage, dismantling its ability to launch strikes and also dealt a strategic and psychological blow to its defence establishment. Jacobabad airbase was another airstrip to have suffered destruction. The satellite images released by an Indian firm (KAWASPACE) spotlight the damage at the Jacobabad Airbase. As per the images, the hangar on the airbase's main apron looks ravaged, while the ATC building is also suspected to have suffered damage. In separate imagery by the KAWASPACE, the damage at Pakistan's Bholari Airbase has been spotlighted. As per the image, a hangar looks damaged, with debris visible along with structural damage. The satellite images of devastation at Pakistani airbases were shared by an X user. Notably, India's coordinated and precision strikes on these airbases delivered a strategic knockout to Pakistan's aerial capabilities. It not only disabled Pakistan's ability to fight but also deterred it from contemplating further aggression. The destruction of Pakistan's air bases also sent an unambiguous message that any act of provocation or aggression against India will turn out to be catastrophic for it.

Chinese Satellite Image Shows Damage To Pakistan's Nur Khan Airbase After India's Precision Strike

Last Updated: India's strike on Nur Khan airbase, located in Rawalpindi and close to the army's HQ, was a strategic and symbolic blow as it is the nerve centre of Pakistan's air mobility command Precision strikes by the Indian Air Force on Pakistan's Nur Khan airbase disabled infrastructure and ground support vehicles at the site. An image released by a Chinese satellite firm, MIZAZVISION, shows the damage caused to the military installation under India's Operation Sindoor between May 8 and 10. The Indian strike on the Nur Khan airbase – located in Rawalpindi and close to Pakistan Army's headquarters – was a strategic and symbolic blow to Pakistan as it serves as the headquarters of its air mobility command. It further exposes gaps in the neighbouring country's air defence system (ADS) and its inability to defend this high-value target.

The sources said these systems are vital for surveillance, logistics, and aerial coordination, especially in cross-border operations. The base is central to Pakistan's drone warfare campaigns, they said. They said it is used for the launch of Turkish-made Bayraktar TB2 and indigenous Shahpar-I drones targeting India. The airbase is also used for training elite pilots and hosting VIP fleets like the presidential aircraft, they added. More satellite images released by an Indian firm, KAWASPACE, show damage to Pakistan's Bholari airbase after Indian strikes.
