Watch: In a first, Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif admits India hit Nur Khan Airbase during Operation Sindoor

Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has confirmed that Indian ballistic missiles struck Nur Khan Airbase in Rawalpindi and other places under Operation Sindoor. Sharif said Pakistan Army chief General Asim Munir called him at around 2.30am to inform him about the strikes. Sharif added that Pakistan’s Air Force used local technology and Chinese jets. He confirmed that the Indian missiles reached their targets.The video of Shehbaz Sharif’s statement has been widely shared on social media. While speaking at a ceremony at the Pakistan Monument on Friday, Sharif said, "At around 2.30am on May 10, General Syed Asim Munir called me on secure line and informed me that India's ballistic missiles have hit Nur Khan Airbase and other areas," news agency ANI reported, quoting Pakistan's Geo News.BJP leader Amit Malviya also shared the video on X and said, "Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif himself admits that General Asim Munir called him at 2.30am to inform him that India had bombed Nur Khan Air Base and several other locations. Let that sink in -- the Prime Minister was woken up in the middle of the night with news of strikes deep inside Pakistan. This speaks volumes about the scale, precision, and boldness of Operation Sindoor." India began Operation Sindoor on May 7 in response to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack in which 26 people were killed. The Indian Armed Forces targeted terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir. Over 100 militants from groups like Jaish-e-Mohammed, Lashkar-e-Taiba, and Hizbul Mujahideen were killed. After India's operation, Pakistan responded with shelling across the Line of Control and Jammu and Kashmir. There were also drone attack attempts along the border areas. India then carried out a coordinated attack and hit radar systems, communication centres, and airfields at 11 airbases in Pakistan. On May 10, both countries agreed to stop hostilities.
