"Will S Sharief & A Munir (sic) be able to land their Leased Chinese Aircraft at Rahim Yar khan Airbase?" Owaisi posted on X.
Rahim Yar Khan is a forward operating base of the PAF’s Central Command. It shares its sole runway with the Sheikh Zayed International Airport, named after Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the first President of the UAE, who funded the construction of the airport’s terminal. Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority handles the day-to-day operations here. It lies close to Pakistan's border with Rajasthan in India.
The IAF strike created a large crater in the runway, resulting in all flight operations being made non-operational for one week.

Besides Rahim Yar Khan, the IAF also decimated PAF airbases Nur Khan, Sukkur, Murid, Shahbaz, Mushaf, Rafiqui and Bholari. Its retaliatory action came after Pakistan launched missiles on Indian military installations in response to Operation Sindoor. However, India's air defence system successfully intercepted the missiles.
On Tuesday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited IAF's second-largest airbase, Adampur in Punjab, and busted Pakistan's claim to have destroyed the airbase.
Under Operation Sindoor, Indian armed forces launched precision strikes on nine terror facilities in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir in the early hours of May 7. More than 100 terrorists were killed in the operation.
The strikes were India's response to the terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam, where Pakistan-backed terrorists shot dead 26 male tourists on April 22.
