Days after a Chinese engineer told state broadcaster CCTV that Beijing had provided “on-site” technical support to the Pakistan Air Force during Operation Sindoor, the Ministry of External Affairs on Tuesday (May 12, 2026) said that these reports “corroborate” what was known to India. It also cautioned countries that supported Pakistan about their “reputation and standing”.
These comments coincide with the first anniversary of Operation Sindoor, which began on May 7, 2025 and continued till May 10, when a ceasefire was announced.
