Exclusive Report | By Ishfaq Gowher, Executive Editor, Gulistan News
In a significant revelation, Pakistan’s own internal assessment has reportedly confirmed that India’s Operation Sindoor was far more impactful than what was publicly disclosed. According to credible inputs accessed exclusively by Gulistan News, the Indian Air Force (IAF) successfully targeted eight previously unacknowledged high-value sites inside Pakistan-occupied territory, using surgical precision.
These new details indicate that the strike not only penetrated deeper into sensitive zones but also avoided public acknowledgement of several targets—a move widely interpreted as a sign of deliberate strategic restraint by Indian authorities. Sources familiar with the classified Pakistani report reveal:
• Eight strategic locations were hit, including terror training camps, arms depots, and covert communication hubs.
• The strikes employed advanced precision targeting systems, ensuring minimal collateral damage.
• The report describes the operation as a “deep penetration tactical success” by the Indian Air Force.
This internal document was never intended for public release, likely to avoid internal backlash and diplomatic embarrassment.
Unlike previous cross-border operations, the Government of India has not publicly acknowledged all the targets neutralized in Operation Sindoor. Experts see this as a reflection of India’s evolving military doctrine, one that prioritizes quiet effectiveness over loud declarations.
Defence analysts note this silent confidence as a significant shift—actions are being taken, but not always advertised. This approach allows India to demonstrate strength without unnecessary provocation.
The acknowledgment within Pakistani circles comes alongside a noticeable de-escalation in Islamabad’s public rhetoric post-strike. There was no aggressive diplomatic pushback, no international appeals, and no visible counter-narrative—a sign, perhaps, of Pakistan’s recognition of India’s enhanced precision strike capabilities.
This quiet confirmation reshapes the strategic narrative: India’s response was not only bold but carefully calibrated, striking hard while staying under the radar.
Though the official blueprint of the operation remains classified, intelligence inputs suggest that:
• The mission was meticulously planned and flawlessly executed.
• It achieved deep-target impact, eliminating key threats.
• Civilian zones were carefully avoided, underlining India’s operational maturity and intent.
Pakistan’s internal admission about the scale and success of Operation Sindoor signals a quiet yet clear shift in regional military equations. India’s message to its adversaries is unambiguous:
It will respond—precisely, powerfully, and without noise—when its sovereignty is threatened.
This exclusive insight underlines how India’s defence posture has evolved from reactive to strategically proactive, with a focus on efficiency, discipline, and deterrence.
