BIG admission by Shehbaz Sharif… admits to being hit by India, recounts 2:30 AM Asim Munir call: ‘India had bombed…’
In what could leave Pakistan a red-faced country, its Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif in a rare public admitted to Indian ballistic missiles striking the Nur Khan Airbase and other targets inside Pakistan during the early hours of May 10. Speaking at a ceremony in Islamabad, Sharif recounted a 2:30 AM call from the Chief of Army Staff, General Syed Asim Munir, informing him of the missile attacks launched by India. The Nur Khan Airbase, located between Rawalpindi and Islamabad, is a strategic military facility long central to Pakistan’s air operations.
“In the intervening night of May 9-10, around 2:30 AM, General Asif Munir called me through a secure phone and told me India has launched its ballistic missiles. One has landed at the Nur Khan airbase and some at other areas,” Prime Minister Sharif said in a public address.
The BJP was quick to grab the opportunity for chest thumping. BJP spokesperson Amit Malviya wrote on X, sharing a video of the Pakistani Prime Minister’s address and said, “Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif himself admits that General Asim Munir called him at 2:30am to inform him that India had bombed Nur Khan Air Base and several other locations. Let that sink in – the Prime Minister was woken up in the middle of the night with news of strikes deep inside Pakistan. This speaks volumes about the scale, precision, and boldness of #OperationSindoor.”
The Indian strikes came under Operation Sindoor, a retaliatory military action launched on May 7 in response to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, which claimed 26 Indian lives. According to government sources, around 100 terrorists affiliated with terror groups such as Jaish-e-Mohammed, Lashkar-e-Taiba, and Hizbul Mujahideen were eliminated during this operation.
The operation involved the Indian Air Force (IAF), Indian Army, and Navy working in tandem to strike at terror infrastructure and strategic military installations across Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). Targets included airfields, radar stations, and communication hubs in at least 11 known locations.
Among the first targets struck in the early hours of May 10 were the PAF bases at Chaklala (Nur Khan) and Sargodha. Satellite imagery later confirmed impacts at Jacobabad, Bholari, and Skardu. Amid fears of escalation, Pakistan reportedly sought urgent US intervention.
