Good evening ladies and gentlemen. I welcome you to this press briefing on operation Sindur and related developments. We have with us Commodore Ravinayer, Colonel Sophia Kureshi and Wing Commander Voma Singh to brief you.
Uh with that I hand over the floor to Kabador Nyer. Uh good evening ladies and gentlemen. Uh as the foreign secretary had said you're aware uh there's an understanding uh that has been reached to stop all uh military activities at sea on the air and on the land and the Indian Navy, Indian Army and the Indian Air Force have been instructed to adhere to this understanding since the tragic events uh at Pelgang.
You're aware that uh our responses have been measured and uh very responsible. Details of these have been shared with you over the past few days through our various press briefings. What has also happened is that there is a significant amount of misinformation that is being uh undertaken from the other side and as a professional military uh organization we thought it is also our duty to dispel those uh misinformation aspects as also state the facts of the case as they stand towards that I will now hand over to my colleague Colonel Kurishi.
Namaskar. Pakistan misinformation S400 missile misinformation airfields Jamu Patan Court Batinda Nalia or BJ Misinformation Pakistan misinformation campaign ammunition dumps morning with facts and figure conference. Senior military officers.
India is a secular nation. Armed Forces, military infrastructures, land assets, air assets, Indian armed forces, Pakistan key airfields, Scaru, Jacobad, Sergoda or Bular Pakistan air defense system, radar system, airspace uninable, line of control, Pakistan command and control, logistic installations or military infrastructures, military personals, Pakistan offensive or defensive capability. Indian armed forces committed.
So several uh several attempts were made by Pakistan on uh spreading a misinformation campaign as we have seen for the last few days. There were attempts made to say that our S400 at a northern base was destroyed which was completely false and that it was destroyed by a JF17. It would it was a false information.
Also that the Brahmos installation was attacked and it was destroyed was false. The destruction of airfields at Shinagar, Jammu, Patan Court, Bhj, Nalya etc. was also a false claim.
The forward ammunation dump at Chandigar and Bas are also fit and fine and we showed you these in the photographs in the morning briefing today. Um also there was a certain different way of mis campaign that the Pakistan conducted by its press conferences which was conducted in a manner which were completely misleading and devoid of facts. Pakistan has been spreading fabricated allegations that the Indian armed forces have targeted mosques.
Let us make this very clear here that India is a secular nation and the Indian armed forces are a reflection of our constitutional values. We hold every place of worship of all faiths in the highest regard. Our operations have been aimed exclusively at terrorist camps and facilities being used for anti-India activities.
No religious sites, I repeat, no religious sites have been targeted by the Indian armed forces over the past few days. As we have seen, Pakistan all has suffered very heavy and unsustainable losses after it has retiven us an unprovoked attack on our installations. It has suffered losses in both land and air.
There has been an extensive damage to the crucial Pakistani air bases like Skurdu, Sergoda, Jakobabad and Bulari. In addition, a loss of AD weapon system and radars made the defense of Pakistani airspace untenable. across the line of control.
Extensive and precise damage to military infrastructure and command control centers and logistic installations. And addition to that, two military personnel had led to complete breakdown of its defensive and offensive capability and also Pakistani morale. Sir uh in conclusion let me reiterate that uh whilst we will be adhering to the understanding that has been reached today that is the Indian army the Indian na navy and in the and the Indian air force we remain fully prepared and ever vigilant and committed to defend defending the sovereignity and integrity of the motherland.
Every misadventure by Pakistan has been met with strength and every future escalation will invite a decisive response. We remain fully operationally ready to launch whatever operations may be required in defense of the nation. Thank you very much ladies and gentlemen.
