Overview

• Fresh Google Earth imagery from June shows an impact crater on Kirana Hills linked to India’s May Operation Sindoor strikes.
• The finding directly challenges Air Marshal AK Bharti’s May 12 statement denying any hit on the nuclear-linked site.
• The same satellite update reveals recently repaired runways at Pakistan’s Sargodha Airbase, confirming damage sustained in the raids.
• Kirana Hills is believed to house fortified underground nuclear storage and research facilities, heightening the operation’s sensitivity.
• Pakistan has not issued an official response to the alleged strike as independent analysts continue to review the visual evidence.
