On May 7, the Indian forces carried out Operation Sindoor, which targeted nine terror camps in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) and inside Pakistan. After this operation, many people on social media started saying that India also attacked Kirana Hills, a place known to be under the control of Pakistan's Ministry of Defence.

During a press talk on May 12, Air Marshal AK Bharti, the Director General of India’s Air Operations, said that the Indian military did not attack Kirana Hills. When a journalist asked if India had struck the hills along with Pakistani air bases, he replied,
“Thank you for telling us that Kirana Hills houses some nuclear installations. We did not know about it.”
He added, “We have not hit Kirana Hills, whatever is there. I did not brief in my briefing yesterday.”

After the mission, some users on the platform X (formerly Twitter) posted photos and videos, claiming that there was an explosion and smoke was seen near Sargodha in Pakistan's Punjab province, where Kirana Hills is located. This led to rumours that India had bombed that area.

Kirana Hills are a group of rocky hills in Pakistan, and many believe they are used by the country's military to store nuclear weapons inside hidden caves. These hills are located close to Sargodha.

Satellite pictures confirmed that the Indian Air Force did hit the runway of Mushaf Air Base in Pakistan. But there is no proof that any attack happened in or around Kirana Hills.
