Pakistan’s crises stem from the personal ego of their Army Chief General Asim Munir, top intelligence sources told CNN-News18. Daily ceasefire violations have contributed to increasing body counts in Pakistan. Pakistan’s military leadership prioritises proxy warfare and nuclear threats over modernising defences or addressing governance failures.
Dependence on outdated Chinese exports and harbouring terrorists instigated a conflict they couldn’t win, exposing the superficiality of China’s all-weather ally label. No amount of ISPR propaganda can conceal Pakistan Army’s shortcomings.
The crisis was not unprovoked but a result of Pakistan’s rogue policies. For stability, Pakistan must dismantle terror networks, sources said.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, too, in his first address since Operation Sindoor on Monday, warned that Pakistan’s continued support for terrorism – both by its government and military – would ultimately lead to the country’s downfall.
“Certainly, this is not an era of war. But it is also not an era of terrorism. A zero-tolerance policy against terrorism is the guarantee for a better world. The Pakistani army and government, which are nurturing terrorism, will one day bring an end to Pakistan itself. If Pakistan wants to survive, it must eliminate terrorism. There is no other path to peace,” PM Modi said in his address.
“Operation Sindoor has set a new standard in the fight against terrorism. It has established a new normal. First, whenever there is a terrorist attack on India, a strong response will be given. We will respond in our own way and take action at every place where the roots of terrorism are found. Second, India will not tolerate any nuclear blackmail,” he added.

However, India’s Air Marshal AK Bharti said in a press briefing that at least 30-40 Pakistani armed forces personnel were killed in India’s counter strikes at Pakistan’s airbases and in the firing.
India carried out precision strikes under ‘Operation Sindoor’ on terror infrastructure in Pakistan and PoK early on May 7 in response to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack. Following the Indian action, Pakistan attempted to attack Indian military bases on May 8, 9 and 10 with drones and missiles. However, Islamabad failed to cause any damage due to India’s advanced air defence systems.
In turn, India launched precision strikes on Pakistan airbases in 11 cities successfully.
India and Pakistan reached an understanding on Saturday to end the conflict after four days of intense cross-border drone and missile strikes.
“On May 9, several Pakistani systems attacked multiple IAF bases. They came in waves. Our AD guns and other systems were waiting for them. Pechora and SAMAR were also used to neutralise mass raid of drones by the Pakistani side. There was no damage on the ground from these ‘mass raids’ from the Pakistani side,” Air Marshal AK Bharti said during a briefing on Operation Sindoor and the aftermath.
“Then decision was taken to strike where it hurts in swift coordinated calibrated attack. We struck air bases and command centres. We struck Chaklala in Islamabad, Rahim Yar Khan…Rafiki, Sargodha, Bholari, Jacobabad. We struck a UAV complex at Murid, radar at Chunian…We have the capability to target every system. It was a measured response. Our response was directed at military installations avoiding civilian and collateral damage.”
Bharti showed the before and after images of Pasrur air defence radar, Chunian air defence radar, Arifwala air defence radar, Sargodha airfield (two impact points), Rahim Yar Khan airfield, Chaklala airfield (Nur Khan), Sukkur airfield, Bholari airfield and Jacobabad airfield.
