New Delhi:
New high-resolution satellite imagery available to NDTV shows extensive re-construction activity at a key command and control building at Pakistan’s Murid Airbase which was struck by the Indian Air Force during Operation Sindoor in the early hours of May 10.
The Vantor sourced image produced in this report is dated December 16 and shows a large red tarpaulin covering the building located adjacent to a large complex where Pakistan operates Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). Damage from the Indian Air Force strike is believed to have caused parts of the roof to collapse, extensive structural damage, and likely internal destruction of the building.
Post-strike images of the attack from June this year show a smaller green tarpaulin covering a part of the building at that time. The entire structure now appears to be under repair or re-construction under a larger tarp. Heavy-duty tarps are commonly used by militaries to hide repair work, debris clearance, or sensitive damage from satellite reconnaissance.
