The Indian Air Force (IAF) fired fewer than 50 weapons at Pakistani military targets and forced Islamabad by May 10 to call for a ceasefire following the four-day conflict during Operation Sindoor, Vice Chief of the Air Staff Air Marshal Narmdeshwar Tiwari said on Saturday (August 30, 2025).

Air Marshal Tiwari, recounting the mission, said the IAF was able to achieve “complete domination” over the Pakistan military with the strikes that were carried out following Pakistan’s attack on the intervening night of May 9 and 10.
