More than six months after the four-day conflict between India and Pakistan, satellite imagery suggests that Pakistan is still struggling to repair critical military installations damaged during India’s Operation Sindoor. OSINT specialist Damien Symon, known for uncovering India’s strike on Pakistan’s Kirana Hills nuclear depot, has released new imagery showing reconstruction activity at key sites, raising doubts about Islamabad’s earlier claims of victory.
Symon posted that Pakistan has begun constructing a new facility at the Nur Khan Airbase in Rawalpindi, one of the sites targeted by Indian forces in May 2025. The location is highly sensitive, situated close to Pakistan’s Strategic Plans Division headquarters, responsible for overseeing the country’s nuclear assets. According to Symon, the new construction suggests extensive internal destruction that demanded rebuilding rather than simple repair work. The findings contradict Pakistan’s public statements downplaying the impact of the strikes.
Satellite images also show that the Jacobabad Airbase in northern Sindh continues to undergo repairs. The hangar struck by Indian missiles remains with its roof dismantled in phases, indicating structural assessments are still underway. Symon noted that the gradual removal of the roof points to deeper internal damage, which must be evaluated before reconstruction can be completed. These insights come after earlier images of the Sargodha region that suggested impact points from Indian strikes on Kirana Hills, supporting claims of India’s precision targeting.
Indian forces targeted at least eleven military sites across Pakistan, including major Pakistan Air Force bases at Murid, Rafiqui, Mushaf, Bholari, Qadrim, Sialkot, and Sukkur. The operation was launched in response to Pakistan’s attacks on Indian military and civilian locations and the Pakistan-backed terror incident in Pahalgam. Indian officials, including Wing Commander Vyomika Singh, said Pakistan suffered “very heavy” and “unsustainable losses,” both on land and in the air.
Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif later acknowledged that Indian missiles had hit key installations, including the Nur Khan Airbase. The admission validated the scale and accuracy of India’s response. Symon, a widely followed OSINT researcher, continues to use satellite data to track reconstruction efforts, providing rare insight into post-conflict military conditions within Pakistan.
