The IAF put in two more raids on this day in an attempt to pierce the defences of Sargodha and deal the PAF a blow in exchange, but oddly enough they still did not come in any strength. The third raid came between 0945 and 1000 hours. PAF's observer units (MOUs) of the outer belt north of Lahore had given warning of this raid a little earlier, when they reported 4 Mysteres heading into Pakistan. They came in very low, and for the first time carried out a purposeful attack. A Sabre on the ORP was hit and destroyed by cannon fire and the wall of an abandoned office in the ATC building received a rocket hit. No other damage was done, as officers and Menpushed serviceable equipment a safe distarce away from the burning aircraft. The enemy aircraft made a single attack and were away at low level before they could be intercepted by 4 Sabres and an F-1 04 wh ich had been scrambled to meet this raid. The aircraft destroyed was one on which Flight Lieutenant A H Malik was carrying out a preflight check, and but for a brave and vigilant NCO, Senior Technician Rashid Ahmed, armament fitter, who dragged him away in the nick of time, he too might Nave shared the fate of his aircraft.

The last raid on Sargodha came at 1545 hotirs. It had been detected 15 minutes earlier by the outer belt of MOUs, which reported "three jets north of Lahore heading west." The inner belt confirmed the raid going for Sargodha, where 2 F-86s had been scrambled for the interception. They saw 2 Mysteres going into the attack on Sargodha. The Sabres took position over the estimated exit point of the Mysteres, and were soon in hot pursuit of the pair as they roated home at deck level. Malik avenged the loss of his Sabre on the ground, when he picked off one of the fleeing Mysteres with a well placed missile. Although the second Mystere was chased for some distance, and also fired at, it managed to make good its escape. No appreciable damage was caused by this attack. The ack ack covering Sargodha claimed in all to have hit 4 aircraft that day, of which only 2 could be positively confirmed as destroyed.
