No Air Base Destroyed: India Counters Pakistan’s False Propaganda With Time-Stamped Visual Proof

Amid a wave of misinformation being circulated by Pakistani sources, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has firmly dismissed claims that key Indian military installations were destroyed in recent cross-border tensions. In a press briefing, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri released time-stamped photographs of Indian Air Force (IAF) stations to counter what he described as "completely false" propaganda.

Addressing the media, Misri refuted Pakistan's assertions that air bases in Sirsa, Suratgarh, and the S-400 missile base at Adhampur had been destroyed during alleged missile strikes. "The claims they (Pakistan) have made about attacking and destroying various places, military installations, and facilities... are completely false," said Misri.

He further added, "The claim about the Air Force station in Sirsa being destroyed is completely false, as you have seen. The claim about the Air Force station in Suratgarh being destroyed is also completely false. The claim about the S-400 base at Adhampur being destroyed is once again, completely false."

The MEA shared verified, time-stamped images showing normal operations at these bases, further underlining the fabricated nature of the claims circulating online. Officials reiterated that India remains fully capable of defending its sovereignty and that any attempt to spread panic or misinformation will be met with facts and transparency.

This rebuttal comes in the wake of heightened regional tensions following Operation Sindoor, India's strategic military response to the deadly Pahalgam terror attack.
