The director of the East Asia Nonproliferation Project at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies, Jeffrey Lewis, has just confirmed that the satellite pictures show that all the structures in Balakot are intact. He added that even the high-resolution images do not support any bomb damage there. Dave Schmerler, who is a senior research associate at the James Martin Center for nonproliferation studies said that if any heavy weapons were used in the attack, the images would have revealed it.

“If the strike had been successful – given the information we have about what kind of munitions were used – I would expect to see signs that the buildings had been damaged,” said Lewis. “I just don’t see that here.”
