Satellite Images Show Ongoing Repairs at Pakistan's Sargodha Airbase Runway After 2025 Strike
Sixteen months after the Indian Air Force struck the Pakistan Air Force base at Sargodha during Operation Sindoor in May 2025, fresh satellite imagery from September 2026 reveals ongoing repair work on the main runway. The previously patched missile impact site has been excavated for deeper reconstruction, possibly due to structural issues. The imagery also shows sequential resurfacing along the runway, indicating continued maintenance efforts at the base located near the India-Pakistan border.
