We have not hit Kirana Hillls: Air Marshal Bharti clears air on Pak nuclear site rumour
The Indian Air Force on Monday confirmed that the Indian Armed Forces did not hit the Kirana Hills region in Pakistan, which is speculated to have nuclear installations.
Speaking to the media, Air Marshal AK Bharti said: "Thank you for telling us that Kirana Hills houses some nuclear installation."
He said, "We did not know about it. And we have not hit Kirana Hills, whatever is there.”
He remarked amid several social media posts that claimed India had struck the Mushaf Airbase in Sargodha.
The airbase is reportedly linked to underground nuclear storage beneath the Kirana Hills.
Kirana Hills
The Kirana Hills Site is an extensive rocky mountain range and a reservation of the Ministry of Defense (MoD) located in the Sargodha District in Punjab, Pakistan.
Known locally as "Black Mountains" due to its brownish landscape, it is expanded between the township of Rabwah and the metropolitan city of Sargodha.
India-Pakistan Ceasefire
India's Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri on Saturday announced New Delhi and Islamabad agreed to stop all military actions in a de-escalation of the conflict between the two nuclear power armed nations in the wake of the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack.
After the Pakistan Army violated the ceasefire agreement, which was brokered by US President Donald Trump, within hours, India issued a stern warning that any such further violation will be met with even harder retaliation.
Misry on Saturday said the Director General Military Operations (DGMO) of Pakistan had dialled his Indian counterpart appealing for a ceasefire.
The Armed Forces on Monday confirmed there has been no ceasefire violation on Sunday night.
The Indian Armed Forces on Sunday said 35-40 Pakistani Army personnel were killed at the Line of Control between May 7 and May 10.
DGMO Lieutenant General Rajiv Ghai said: "The Pakistan Army has reported to have lost approximately 35 to 40 personnel in artillery and small arms firing on the Line of Control between 7th and 10th May."
He said 100 terrorists were killed during Operation Sindoor, which was conducted on May 7 across nine terrorist hubs located in PoK and Pakistan.
