In an effort to refute Pakistan's allegations that indian air Force bases were damaged by missile attacks, india displayed images taken just prior to a special media briefing on Saturday. The administration provided images taken at 10.45 am, right before the press conference, to demonstrate that everything was OK at the airbases in question, rejecting as "completely false" reports of damage to air stations at Haryana's Sirsa, Rajasthan's Suratgarh, and Uttar Pradesh's Azamgarh.
 
Foreign Secretary vikram Misri dispelled the myth by releasing time-stamped photos and videos that demonstrated the airbases in optimal working order.  The images showed the military installations that were the focus of Pakistani propaganda in a regular state with no obvious damage.

"They have not destroyed any military assets," Foreign Secretary vikram Misri stated during a press briefing on Saturday.  It is utterly untrue to say that air Force stations in Sirsa, Suratgarh, and Azamgarh were destroyed.  I would strongly advise everyone not to fall for these falsehoods.  These are being sold in pakistan for clear reasons. 

Wing commander Vyomika Singh denied Pakistan's unfounded allegations that it had destroyed important indian defense installations during the press briefing on Saturday. Singh also described India's measured military response to Pakistan's provocations.
 
Wing commander Singh stated, "The indian armed forces executed a precision strike only at identified military targets in a prompt and well-calculated response."  She affirmed that Pakistani military facilities, including as technical facilities, command and control centers, radar sites, and missile storage facilities, were the focus of the indian reaction.

In addition, the air Force official vehemently refuted Pakistan's disinformation effort.  With allegations of destroying the indian S-400 system, the airfields at Suratgarh and Sirsa, the BrahMos facility at Nagrota, artillery gun positions, and the chandigarh forward ammunition depot, pakistan has also sought to carry out a persistent harmful disinformation campaign.  India categorically denies these baseless allegations propagated by pakistan," she declared. 

Meanwhile, pakistan launched swarms of drones and missiles for the second night in a row on Friday, leaving missile debris in agricultural areas in Sirsa (Haryana), Barmer (Rajasthan), and jalandhar (Punjab).  According to defense sources, indian air defense troops in Sirsa successfully intercepted a Fateh-II surface-to-surface missile fired by pakistan at a key site in India. 

Pakistan's military has been seen relocating troops to forward locations, which may be an indication of an intention to aggravate the situation, according to Wg Cdr Singh.  The indian military forces are still in a high level of operational preparedness, she continued.  Every hostile action has been successfully repelled and dealt with suitably.
 
 "Indian armed forces reiterate their commitment to non-escalation — provided that is reciprocated by the Pakistani military," she said, restating India's position.
