A recently surfaced dossier from Pakistan has revealed that Indian forces struck significantly more targets during Operation Sindoor than were initially disclosed by Indian authorities. According to the document, part of Pakistan’s internal report on its military response named Operation Bunyan un Marsoos, Indian airstrikes targeted at least eight additional locations, including major cities like Peshawar, Gujranwala, Jhang, and Hyderabad in Sindh.

These locations were not mentioned by either the Indian Air Force or the Director General of Military Operations in their official briefings following the May 7 airstrikes. The dossier includes detailed maps showing strikes on cities across Pakistan’s provinces, including Gujrat in Punjab, Bahawalnagar, Attock, and Chor. This revelation shifts the narrative around Operation Sindoor, highlighting the depth and strategic precision of India’s military response to the Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 civilians.
The newly revealed targets underline India’s capability to strike deep inside Pakistani territory, and also provide context for Pakistan’s request for a ceasefire just 72 hours after the conflict began. Indian sources suggest the omission of these locations from public disclosures was a deliberate tactic to expose Pakistan’s narrative inconsistencies and compel it to admit the full extent of the damage.
Earlier satellite images from Maxar Technologies had confirmed heavy destruction at known terror infrastructure sites. India had initially stated that it struck nine key targets on May 7, including the Jaish-e-Mohammed headquarters in Bahawalpur and the Lashkar-e-Toiba training centre in Muridke. Other targets included Muzaffarabad, Kotli, Rawalakot, Chakswari, Bhimber, Neelum Valley, Jhelum, and Chakwal in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.
Following retaliatory drone and missile attacks by Pakistan on Indian civilian and military locations, India expanded its counter-offensive to include Pakistani military air bases. Eleven Pakistani air bases were reportedly hit in successive strikes, including Nur Khan, Rafiqui, Murid, Sukkur, Sialkot, Pasrur, Chunian, Sargodha, Skardu, Bholari, and Jacobabad.
India’s position after Operation Sindoor has been clear: any terror strike on Indian soil will be treated as an act of war. With Pakistan’s own documents now revealing the scale of Indian airstrikes, the impact of Operation Sindoor appears to be far more extensive than initially perceived, both in tactical execution and in geopolitical messaging.
