A crater at Pakistan Air Force Station Mushaf near Sargodha has been reopened for extensive repair work, according to satellite images analyzed by regional defense observers. The impact site, which was created during a Brahmos cruise missile strike, had been temporarily patched following the incident but is now undergoing permanent restoration efforts.
The reopening of the repair site comes approximately 490 days after the initial strike on the military installation. The temporary patch work that had covered the damaged area has been removed as part of the comprehensive repair process now underway.
The Sargodha airbase is one of Pakistan's significant military installations. The reopening of the crater for repairs indicates that permanent structural restoration is replacing the interim measures that had been deployed to keep the facility operational following the strike.
Satellite imagery has provided key visibility into the repair operations at the base, allowing external observers to track the progress of restoration efforts at the facility.
