India’s BrahMos strikes on airbases foiled Pakistan’s planned offensive: Shehbaz Sharif

New Delhi: Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has confirmed that India’s BrahMos missile strikes on the night of 9–10 May thwarted a “planned Pakistani military offensive”. Speaking at the Pakistan-Turkey-Azerbaijan trilateral summit in Lachin, Azerbaijan, Sharif admitted that the Indian action pre-empted a “coordinated Pakistani response” scheduled for the early hours of May 10. A video of him saying this has gone viral on social media platforms.

According to Sharif, the Pakistan Army, under the leadership of Field Marshal Asim Munir, had planned to launch an attack at 4.30am, following morning prayers. However, before the operation could commence, India carried out a precision missile assault targeting multiple Pakistani military installations, including the Nur Khan airbase in Rawalpindi.

Pak PM’s big admission

“Our armed forces were prepared to act at 4.30 in the morning after Fajr prayers to teach a lesson. But before that hour even arrived, India launched a missile attack using BrahMos, targeting various provinces of Pakistan, including the airport in Rawalpindi,” Sharif said.

The Indian offensive, named Operation Sindoor, was launched in retaliation for the Pahalgam terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir. On April 22, terrorists opened fire on unsuspecting tourists, killing 26 people. As part of the operation, India launched strikes on nine terror infrastructures across Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.

Operation Sindoor

Among the targets were Jaish-e-Mohammed’s Markaz Subhan Allah in Bahawalpur, Lashkar-e-Taiba’s Markaz Taiba in Murdike, and Hizbul Mujahideen’s facilities in Kotli and Sialkot. The strikes also hit airbases in Skardu, Jacobabad, Sargodha, Sukkur, and other locations.

Satellite imagery has since confirmed damage at several of these sites, including destruction to military transport assets at the Nur Khan airbase, which is located near the Pakistan Army Headquarters.

After the strikes, Pakistan retaliated by deploying drones toward border cities, which were intercepted by India’s S-400 and Akash air defence systems. A ceasefire was declared on May 10 following a hotline communication between the Directors General of Military Operations (DGMO) of both countries.
