Pakistan's claim of hitting 2 Indian airbases falls apart over one detail: The locations don't exist

Now, over a year after the Pahalgam attack and India’s strong retaliatory action, Pakistan has made a bizarre claim of engaging and hitting two airbases in India that do not even exist, after being hit hard last year during counterterror operations under Operation Sindoor.

The strong military action under Operation Sindoor was met with a Pakistani counter, as Islamabad launched a barrage of missiles and drone swarms towards India. However, India’s air defence intercepted and destroyed every single incoming threat in the air, avoiding any loss of life or property on Indian soil.

Pakistan named its counter-action “Operation Bunyan Ul Marsoos,” and now a bizarre claim by a Pakistani army official has surfaced on social media.

He said that under Operation Bunyan Ul Marsoos, Pakistan targeted and engaged two airbases, Rajouri and Mamun, both located in bordering sectors along the India-Pakistan border.
