PM Modi’s remarks about the BrahMos missile came in response to Pakistani PM Shehbaz Sharif’s recent confirmation that Indian missiles had struck multiple targets in his country
A day after Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif admitted that India’s BrahMos missiles hit their targets before Pakistan could respond on the morning of May 10, Prime Minister Narendra Modi noted that the supersonic cruise missiles had left the neighbouring country sleepless.
In Uttar Pradesh’s Kanpur to launch development projects worth nearly Rs 50,000 crore, PM Modi praised the Indian military for the success of Operation Sindoor, saying that India destroyed terror dens deep inside Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.
“We entered their (terrorists) camps and destroyed the terror sites in Pakistan. Our Armed Forces showed such courage that the Pakistan Army ended up begging to stop the war,” said PM Modi, adding that BrahMos had given the Pakistan Army “sleepless nights”.
The Prime Minister’s remarks about the BrahMos missile came in response to Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s recent confirmation that Indian missiles had struck multiple targets within Pakistan on the nights of May 9 and 10.
Speaking in Azerbaijan, Sharif acknowledged that the barrage—which included BrahMos missiles—caught the Pakistani military off-guard. He also revealed that Pakistan had been preparing a strike just before the Indian missiles hit.
Earlier this month, Sharif admitted that Indian missiles, including the BrahMos, had targeted key locations such as Pakistan’s Nur Khan air base and other strategic sites in the early hours of May 10.
These missile strikes were reportedly part of India’s Operation Sindoor, a retaliatory response launched against the drone and missile attacks by Pakistan on the night of May 7.
