May 10, reported by Reference News Website. According to a May 10 report by the Associated Press, India said that after Islamabad launched several missiles at multiple air force bases in Punjab, India, early on the morning of the 10th, India retaliated against Pakistan's military bases. However, if Pakistan can exercise equal restraint, India pledges not to escalate the situation.
The report stated that Colonel Sophia Kuraishe, an Indian officer, said at a press conference held in New Delhi: "An appropriate response has been made to Pakistan's actions."
Colonel Viomika Singh, who attended the same press conference, said that if Pakistan can exercise equal restraint, India is committed to "not escalating" the situation. She said, however, that Pakistani ground forces were found to be gathering in forward areas, "indicating offensive intentions to further escalate the situation." She also said: "The Indian armed forces remain in a state of high readiness."
The report stated that Colonel Singh said that in response to Pakistan's actions, the Indian armed forces "only carried out precise strikes targeting identified military objectives" to ensure "minimal collateral damage." She said these targets included technical infrastructure, command and control centers, radar stations, and armories.
Syed Akhtar Husain, the Indian Foreign Secretary, also refuted the claim by the Pakistan military that it had destroyed multiple air force facilities within India and caused severe damage to key infrastructure including power plants. (Compiled/translated by Lin Zhao Hui)
