On September 20, 1965, the 20th day of the Indo-Pakistani War, Pakistani forces reported continued military successes across various fronts. According to Pakistani sources, their armed forces maintained superiority in several key areas of conflict.
In the Sialkot-Jammu sector, Pakistani troops reportedly sustained their offensive on Indian-held territories. The Wagah-Attari sector saw the destruction of 12 Indian tanks, bringing the total number of Indian tanks claimed destroyed to 494.
Pakistani artillery reportedly silenced Indian gun positions in the Rajasthan and Akhnoor sectors. The Pakistan Air Force claimed to have shot down four more Indian warplanes, increasing their tally of destroyed enemy aircraft to 110.
Air strikes were reportedly conducted on Indian airbases including Ambala, Jodhpur, Jammu, Jamnagar, and Halwara, with Pakistani sources claiming significant damage to installations.
At sea, the Pakistan Navy reportedly maintained its dominance in the Arabian Sea, limiting the movement of the Indian Navy.
These claims, made by Pakistani military sources, provide insight into the conflict from Pakistan's perspective. However, as is common in wartime reporting, these figures and claims of success have not been independently verified.
