Recent satellite images reveal significant structural damage to Pakistan’s Murid airbase following Indian Air Force strikes on May 10, which targeted several Pakistani air stations in retaliation. These new images, shared by defense analyst Damien Symon, indicate that the damage at Murid Airbase may be more extensive than initially thought, including a collapsed section of the Command & Control building’s roof, suggesting internal damage as well.
Murid Airbase, located in Chakwal district of Punjab and part of Pakistan’s Northern Command, was one of the key targets and was reportedly housing Turkish drones used in operations against India from May 7 to May 10, in response to Operation Sindoor. However, Pakistan’s air defense successfully intercepted and destroyed all incoming drones and projectiles.
The satellite imagery also shows that despite initial strikes, Pakistan’s Murid and Nur Khan airbases are still struggling to recover from the damage caused by Indian attacks. The images depict a widespread destruction at Nur Khan Airbase near India, with the entire complex near the strike site appearing demolished, indicating the impact extended beyond the targeted trucks.
Murid serves as a strategic forward base, utilized for drone and surveillance operations, and the latest visual evidence underscores the scale and severity of the Indian strikes, which have left these key military installations in ruin even after more than two weeks.
