Pakistani Air Force flew a rather small number of interdiction strikes beyond the line of battle in the 1971 War. Their premium fighter, Mirage III flew only one such sortie. Four Mirages led by Wng Cdr Hakimullah Khan Durrani were initially scheduled to attack Bhangala railway station but they found no rolling stock there. They continued south and found a real surprise on the nearby Mukerian station.
