A recently surfaced Pakistan dossier on its Operation Bunyan un Marsoos has revealed that Indian forces struck at least seven additional targets under Operation Sindoor, besides what was publicly acknowledged by New Delhi.

The alleged official dossier, according to a NDTV report, sheds new light on the scale and precision of India's counteroffensive following the Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 civilians on 22 April.

The dossier contains maps which indicate that Indian strikes were recorded at various locations, i.e., Peshawar, Jhang, Hyderabad (Sindh), Gujrat (Punjab), Bhawalnagar, Attock, and Chor.

None of these locations had been mentioned in earlier briefings by the Indian Air Force or the Director General of Military Operations.

The revelation significantly expands the scope of Operation Sindoor and appears to explain Pakistan's rapid call for a ceasefire. In addition, it directly contravenes Islamabad's claim of the extensive damage done on the Indian side, as insinuated in the dossier.

India had previously acknowledged striking nine terror sites, including the headquarters of the Jaish-e-Mohammed in Bahawalpur and the training camp of the Lashkar-e-Toiba in Muridke, and other sites in Muzaffarabad, Kotli, Rawalakot, Bhimber, Neelum Valley, and Jhelum. The Pakistani dossier, however, claims that India also struck deep military infrastructure.

Following Pakistan's retaliations with drone and missile strikes on Indian civilian and military installations, India struck eleven airbases of Pakistan. They were Nur Khan, Rafiqui, Murid, Sukkur, Sialkot, Pasrur, Chunian, Sargodha, Skardu, Bholari, and Jacobabad, inflicting considerable damage.

India has consistently asserted that Operation Sindoor has established a clear line of demarcation. Officials assert that any further acts of terror will be read as war declarations, warranting robust military action.
