Colonel Sophia Qureshi of India’s Army Signal Corps has admitted that Pakistan’s retaliatory attacks damaged its “equipment and personnel” at least five airbases as it targeted “more than 26 places”.

Qureshi was addressing a press conference alongside Wing Commander Vyomika Singh and Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri after Pakistan launched its military response to India’s late-night attacks on its three airbases.

“Pakistan tried to infiltrate via air at more than 26 places, and they damaged our equipment and personnel at air force bases in Udhampur, Pathankot, Adampur, Bhuj and Bathinda,” Col Qureshi said, according to Times of India.

Wing Commander Vyomika Singh claimed that Indian forces “neutralised” these threats.
