A few days after Pakistan launched the Indian region of drone and missile attacks on Indian territory after the ‘Operation Sindoor’ launched by India to avenge the Pahalgam terror attack, Pakistan Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif has given the first formal approval of India’s attacks on Noor Khan Airbase and other sites in Rawalpindi on 10 May.
Addressing a function held at the Pakistan Memorial on Friday, according to news agency ANI, Sharif said that he received a call from Pakistani Army Chief Asim Munir at around 2:30 am on May 10, which was informed about the attack of India’s ballistic missiles on Noor Khan Airbase and other areas. He also accepted the use of local technology and the use of Chinese jet aircraft by the Pakistani Air Force.
Citing local media, ANI said that Sharif said, “On May 10, at around 2:30 pm, General Syed Asim Munir called me on the Secure Line and told that India’s ballistic missiles have attacked Nur Khan Airbase and other areas. Our Air Force used indigenous technology to save its country and they also used modern gadgets and technology on Chinese jet.”
This acceptance is a rare view, as it is contrary to the general trend of Pakistan’s refusal in relation to Indian military actions.
