Operation Sindoor: Pakistan Army Lost 35-40 Personnel In Indian Strikes; DGMO Tells In Special Briefing

India’s counterstrikes under Operation Sindoor killed nearly 35–40 Pakistani military personnel between 7 and 10 May, said Lt Gen Rajiv Ghai, Director General of Military Operations (DGMO), during a special press briefing on Sunday.

He said Operation Sindoor had a clear military objective: to punish terror planners and destroy their infrastructure.

“Our aim on 7 May was to target terrorists and their bases, not Pakistani civilians or military infrastructure. We achieved this with precision,” he said.

On the evening of 7 May, Pakistan launched a wave of UAVs and drones targeting Indian civilian and military areas.

Indian forces intercepted them. Three drones landed but caused only minor damage.

Between 8 and 9 May, Pakistan flew more drones and aircraft across the border. They tried to target Indian military sites but failed.

Simultaneously, Pakistani violations along the LoC triggered fierce exchanges.

Air Marshal AK Bharti said India responded by hitting Pakistani airbases, command centres, and defence systems across the Western Front.

He named the targets as Chaklala, Rafiqui, and Rahim Yar Khan airbases. These were followed by strikes on Sargodha, Bhulari, and Jacobabad.

“Our goal was not to count casualties but to destroy terror infrastructure,” said Bharti. “If there were casualties, it is for them to count. We focus on hitting the target, not counting bodies.”

The armed forces said the strikes delivered a clear message: Indian retaliation will be swift and measured against any aggression.
