Pakistan is still working to repair critical infrastructure, more than six months after Indian forces conducted targeted strikes on its military installations during the four-day conflict in May, according to satellite intelligence shared by OSINT analyst Damien Symon. Symon, who first reported that India had struck Pakistan’s Kirana Hills nuclear weapons depot, continues to track post-strike developments through satellite imagery.
New Construction Detected at Nur Khan Airbase
Symon’s latest assessment suggests Pakistan has begun building a new facility at Rawalpindi’s Nur Khan Airbase, one of the sites hit during Operation Sindoor.
“Pakistan appears to have constructed a new facility at Nur Khan Airbase, at the location India targeted during its May 2025 conflict,” Damien Symon posted on X on November 16

The Nur Khan base in Chaklala holds particular strategic value due to its proximity to Pakistan’s Strategic Plans Division, which oversees the country’s nuclear arsenal.
Jacobabad Airbase Hangar Still Under Repair
Satellite imagery from northern Sindh’s Jacobabad Airbase, another strike location, indicates the damaged hangar remains under repair. Symon noted that the roof has been removed in phases, likely to inspect the internal structural impact before full reconstruction.
“Imagery over the past few months reveals the hangar targeted by India at Jacobabad Airbase, Pakistan, during the May 2025 conflict, has had its roof taken apart in stages, likely as internal damage checks continue before the structure is repaired,” Damien Symon noted.

Multiple Pakistani Military Bases Targeted During Operation Sindoor
Indian forces struck 11 Pakistani military installations during Operation Sindoor, following Pakistan’s attacks on Indian military assets and civilian areas. The targeted sites included:
Nur Khan Airbase, Rawalpindi
Jacobabad Airbase, northern Sindh
Pakistan Air Force bases at Murid, Rafiqui, Mushaf, Bholari, Qadrim, Sialkot, and Sukkur
In May, Wing Commander Vyomika Singh stated that Pakistan suffered “very heavy” and “unsustainable losses” on both land and air after initiating unprovoked attacks.
