Pakistan Claims Hitting Non-Existent Indian Airbases During Operation Bunyan Ul Marsoos
Pakistan claimed to have struck two Indian airbases, Rajouri and Mamun, during Operation Bunyan Ul Marsoos. The locations of these airbases do not exist. India's air defense successfully intercepted and destroyed all Pakistani missiles and drone swarms in a prior retaliatory action.
Pakistan asserted during Operation Bunyan Ul Marsoos that it had hit two Indian airbases, Rajouri and Mamun. However, the locations of these airbases are not recognized as existing. The Times of India reported that the claim was based on non-existent locations, and that India had previously intercepted and destroyed all Pakistani missiles and drone swarms in a retaliatory action. The World News India (WION) cited a Pakistani officer who claimed to have used the Fatah-1 missile to strike the non-existent airbases.
