Overview

• Damien Symon published updated June Google Earth images showing an impact scar on the side of Kirana Hills and interpreted it as a warning strike.
• Symon noted the visible damage appears superficial with no signs of subterranean penetration, suggesting a calibrated signal rather than a full neutralisation.
• The Indian military continues to reject the claim, referencing Air Marshal AK Bharti’s May briefing that Kirana Hills was not targeted.
• Independent analysts are examining the conflicting satellite evidence and have not reached a consensus on the strike’s authenticity.
• Pakistan’s Ministry of Defence has remained silent on Symon’s findings, highlighting persistent uncertainty in India-Pakistan nuclear deterrence signalling.
