Days after Operation Sindoor was carried out, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday visited Punjab’s Adampur Air Base, where he was briefed on the security situation and also interacted with the jawans. The development came days after India and Pakistan agreed to a ceasefire.

Adampur was among the air force stations that were on Pakistan’s target on the intervening night of May 9 and 10, following India’s “Operation Sindoor”. PM Modi’s visit to Adampur Air Base is significant as the Pakistani Army earlier claimed to have damaged the air base following its counter-border strikes overnight.

However, India rejected claims of damage to the site. Additionally, satellite images confirmed that there has been no substantial damage to any base of the Indian Air Force (IAF) in drone and missile attacks by Pakistan.

Taking to X, PM Modi, “Earlier this morning, I went to AFS Adampur and met our brave air warriors and soldiers. It was a very special experience to be with those who epitomise courage, determination and fearlessness. India is eternally grateful to our armed forces for everything they do for our nation.”
