 "'Whole of Pakistan within range... they’ll have to find a deep hole:' Top Indian Army officer on Op Sindoor")
Lieutenant General Sumer Ivan D’Cunha, Director General of Army Air Defence, said India has the military strength to strike targets anywhere in Pakistan following the success of Operation Sindoor, which involved precise strikes on terror hubs at nine locations backed by Islamabad.
In an interview with news agency ANI, Lieutenant General D’Cunha stated, “The whole of Pakistan is within range.”
He added that even if Pakistan relocates its Army General Headquarters (GHQ) from Rawalpindi to regions like Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK), it would still have to “find a deep hole”.

India’s offensive strikes during Operation Sindoor targeted key Pakistani airbases with precision, utilising loitering munitions to destroy high-value targets.
“I would like to emphasise that India has an adequate arsenal of weapons to take on Pakistan right across its depth. So, from its broadest to its narrowest points, wherever it is, the whole of Pakistan is within range. We are absolutely capable, from our borders or even deep inside, of targeting the entire country,” Lt Gen D’Cunha said.

Modern indigenous technology, including long-range drones and guided weapons, was key to the operation’s success.
Operation Sindoor was launched in response to the 22 April terror attack in Pahalgam, where terrorists backed by Islamabad killed 26 innocent people, mostly tourists.
