Nearly a month after the government denied targeting Kirana Hills, the nuclear hub of Pakistan, under Operation Sindoor, a fresh satellite image captured in June suggested a missile strike at the sensitive area located in Sargodha district.

India targeted key Pakistani military installations on May 10, as part of Operation Sindoor, to avenge the terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam, which claimed 26 lives.

The satellite images were analysed and shared on X by geo-intelligence researcher and satellite imagery expert Damien Symon.

“Imagery update from Google Earth of the Sargodha region, Pakistan, captured in June 2025, shows — 1. The impact location of India’s strike on Kirana Hills in May 2025; 2. Repaired runways at Sargodha airbase post-India’s strikes in May 2025," he shared.

Kirana is a high-security zone linked to Pakistan’s nuclear weapons program. It is believed to contain an underground facility for storing nuclear arms and has reportedly been used for nuclear research and testing, including subcritical tests carried out in the 1980s.
