New Delhi: National Security Advisor (NSA) Ajit Doval on Friday said that Operation Sindoor caused extensive damage to Pakistani military installations.

Speaking at the convocation ceremony at IIT Madras, Doval opened up about ‘Operation Sindoor’, India’s cross-border air assault on Pakistan. This is the first time that NSA has spoken about Operation Sindoor.

He said that India's mission caused extensive damage to Pakistani military installations, specifically airbases. He added that the military hit 13 spots, including nine terror bases crisscrossing Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) with precision.

“You tell me one photograph, one image... These are satellite images from across the world... Not even a glass pane has been broken in India,” he said.

“We are capable of doing that,” he added, referring to Pakistan's key air bases like Sargodha, Rahim Yar Khan, Chaklala, and Rawalpindi, which he said were hit during the May 10 operation.

Doval hailed Operation Sindoor as a “precise” and “indigenous” military success. “Some of our best systems were deployed -- BrahMos, battlefield surveillance radars, integrated air command and control systems. We hit nine terrorist targets. We missed none,” he said, asserting that the entire operation was completed within 23 minutes.
