New high-resolution Google Earth satellite imagery from June 2025 appears to show a missile impact at Pakistan’s Kirana Hills in Sargodha district—an area suspected to house nuclear weapons storage—during India’s May 7 military operation, codenamed Operation Sindoor. Geo‑intelligence expert Damien Symon, sharing analysis via X, also highlighted repaired runways at the nearby Sargodha (Mushaf) airbase, implying recent damage and subsequent restoration. India’s government had officially denied any strike on Kirana, yet the new visuals contradict that claim. Analysts interpret the hit as a “warning strike,” indicating India’s willingness to target sensitive nuclear infrastructure under constraints of de-escalation. These revelations intensify scrutiny on the escalation potential of Operation Sindoor.
