India Strikes 3 Pakistani Airbases in Response to Terror Attacks
India strikes 3 Pakistani airbases in a powerful military response following coordinated drone and missile attacks on 26 Indian locations. The precision strikes targeted Pakistan’s Nur Khan, Murid, and Rafiqui airbases, marking a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict. The Indian government confirmed that these strikes were part of Operation Sindoor, a retaliatory move following the deadly April 22 terror attack in Kashmir.

Retaliation Follows Terror Attack That Killed 26 Indian Tourists in Kashmir
The military escalation stems from a brutal Kashmir terror attack response, which claimed the lives of 26 Indian tourists in a popular valley area. According to intelligence reports, the attack was allegedly carried out by Pakistan-based militants, prompting widespread outrage across the country. The Indian Air Force (IAF) mobilized swiftly, executing targeted assaults on the three strategic airbases as a direct warning to Pakistan.
Pakistan-Based Militants Blamed for April 22 Attack in Kashmir
The April 22 attack in Kashmir has reignited cross-border tensions between the nuclear-armed neighbors. Government sources stated that evidence collected from the blast site and intercepted communications point to terrorist outfits operating out of Pakistan. In response, India strikes 3 Pakistani airbases as a strategic imperative aimed at neutralizing launch points believed to be supporting militant infrastructure.
According to Hindustan Times, the Indian retaliatory strikes came shortly after Pakistan’s drone attacks hit 26 Indian locations targeted across Jammu, Punjab, and Rajasthan. These attacks, many of them on civilian areas, caused both casualties and infrastructure damage.

Rising Tensions Trigger Global Concerns Over Regional Stability
The decision to hit the Nur Khan airbase strike, Murid airbase targeted, and Rafiqui airbase attack was informed by strategic analysis and real-time satellite data. As reported by Times of India, these bases were selected for their role in housing aircraft and drone systems recently used in cross-border operations.
The India Pakistan military escalation has raised alarms in international diplomatic circles. Multiple countries, including the United States and Russia, have called for restraint and a return to diplomatic dialogue. However, India’s stance remains firm: any threat to national sovereignty will be met with decisive force.
Operation Sindoor: India’s Strategic Precision Response
Named Operation Sindoor, the mission was executed in the early hours of May 10. In a bold move, India strikes 3 Pakistani airbases as fighter jets conducted coordinated raids, disabling runways and targeting control towers. Military experts say the success of the mission demonstrates India’s enhanced strike capability and real-time defense preparedness.
As India strikes 3 Pakistani airbases, the world watches closely. Whether this leads to further escalation or paves the way for ceasefire talks remains to be seen. For now, the Indian government maintains that its actions are purely defensive and necessary for national security.
