New Satellite Image Shows Structural Damage To Command & Control Building At Pak’s Murid Airbase

The Indian Air Force (IAF) struck multiple Pakistani airbases on 10 May, causing extensive damage at key installations including Nur Khan in Rawalpindi and Rafiqui in Shakot cantonment, in response to Pakistan’s escalation.

Satellite imagery shows Pakistan still assessing the extent of destruction. These bases host high-value air force assets.

India confirmed the strikes were precise, measured, and aimed only at military targets.

Murid Airbase Suffers Structural Damage

New satellite images accessed by defence analyst Damian Symon reveal significant structural damage at Pakistan’s Murid airbase.

He shared the visuals on X on Monday, highlighting a roof collapse at a Command and Control building. The damage is believed to have caused internal destruction as well.

Murid, a strategic base near the international border, houses Turkish drones. Pakistan used these drones to strike Indian targets between 7 and 10 May, following Operation Sindoor.

However, the Indian Air Defence system intercepted and destroyed all incoming drones and projectiles.

Strikes Render Bases Nonfunctional

Murid airbase, located in Pakistan’s Chakwal district, comes under the Northern Command. It serves as a key forward operating base for surveillance and drone operations.

Two weeks after the Indian strikes, the base remains nonfunctional.

Damian Symon also shared new satellite imagery of the Nur Khan base. He noted that the damage there was more extensive than initially thought.

A large complex near India’s strike site has been completely demolished, suggesting the strike impacted more than just two special-purpose trucks.
