Pakistani dossier claims India hit more places. Propaganda?
While there has been a halt to hostilities between India and Pakistan following the May 10 truce, Islamabad seems to not have ceased what it does best: spreading propaganda. A dossier released by Pakistan, accessed by India Today, reveals India struck more places during Operation Sindoor that were not previously disclosed by Indian defence authorities. However, the devil lies in the dossier contains maps showing Indian strikes at key cities like Peshawar, Attock, Gujrat, Jhang, Bahawalnagar, Hyderabad, Chhor - locations that were not publicly mentioned by the armed forces during their press briefings. Some sites like Peshawar and Attock are over 1,000 km and 700 km away from the Line of Control.
It begs a question. Why would Pakistan make public that India struck more sites than claimed?The broader objective might be to paint before the global community that India targeted civilian areas deep inside Pakistan. The dossier, however, does not mention if the targeted sites were civilian areas or military the sites were military bases, it sheds new light on the depth of India's attack, making it abundantly clear why Pakistan reached out for a ceasefire on May armed forces have mentioned on several occassions that they operated with precision to avoid civilian casualties. "Locations were selected to avoid damage to civilian infrastructure and loss of any civilian lives," the forces dossier specifically lists that only four air bases were targeted - Murid, Rafiqui, Masroor, and high-resolution commercial satellite images have shown damage to 11 military sites struck by India, including Nur Khan, Rafiqui, Murid, Sukkur, Parur, Chunian, Sargodha, Rahim Yar Khan, Bholari, Jacobabad, and the three-day hostilities, India also struck a radar site in Lahore, destroying an air defence system, and targeted the missile site at Malir Cantonment in Karachi.
