Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Sunday made huge claims about BrahMos missiles saying that its glimpse was seen in Operation Sindoor. He also said that if someone didn't see it they can ask Pakistan about its power.

CM Yogi said this while addressing the inaugural event of the BrahMos inspection facility in Lucknow. His remarks hint at the first instance of the use of the indigenous supersonic cruise missile, developed in collaboration between India and Russia.

CM Yogi said, "You must have seen a glimpse of the BrahMos missile during Operation Sindoor. If you didn't, then just ask the people of Pakistan about the power of the BrahMos missile. PM Narendra Modi has announced that any act of terrorism going forward will be considered an act of war. The problem of terrorism can not be solved till we don't crush it completely."

His remarks came as Defence Minister Rajnath Singh was, who is also the MP from Lucknow, was also virtually present for the event. Rajnath virtually addressed the event and termed BrahMos, "a message to our enemy."

He said, “We have shown our strength to the world. BrahMos is a message of strength of our armed forces, of deterrence against our enemy. Brahmos itself is a message to our enemy."

It must be noted that Pakistan had claimed that India launched BrahMos missiles to target key locations inside the country. After the ceasefire understanding announcement, Pakistan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs reiterated the claim saying, "In response to the firing of Brahmos missiles over several locations across the international border, Pakistan was constrained to retaliate to the unprovoked and unlawful Indian aggression in exercise of its right to self-defence under Article 51 of the UN Charter. Accordingly, Pakistan launched “Operation Bunyan-ul-Marsoos" early today."
