In a big admission, Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammed has said that the family of the terrorist group’s chief, Masood Azhar, was torn into piece in Indian strikes.

In an undated video that has now emerged, JeM commander Masood Ilyas Kashmiri said that family members of Azhar were torn into pieces in Indian strikes at Bahawalpur on May 7.

India struck the Markaz Subhanallah facility at Bahawalpur in Pakistan’s Punjab province on May 7 as part of Operation Sindoor. The facility is the headquarters of JeM that has also been used for training and indoctrination purposes. As many as 10 family members of Azhar were killed in the strike.

Kashmiri said, “For these borders, we fought with Delhi, we fought in Kabul, we fought with Kandahar. After sacrificing everything, on May 7 at Bahawalpur, family members of Maulana Masood Azhar, including children, were torn into pieces.”

In the immediate aftermath of Indian strikes, Azhar had said that 10 family members were killed, including his older sister and her husband, his nephew and his nephew’s wife, his niece and five children from his family, were killed. He also said that one of his close associates and his mother along with two other close companions were killed.

The Markaz Subhanallah facility at Bahawalpur was among nine terrorist facilities that India struck in the early hours of May 7 in Pakistan and Pakistan Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (POJK).

These strikes were a response to the Pahalgam attack in which Pakistan-backed terrorists killed 26 people in Pahalgam, Jamu and Kashmir. The Resistance Front (TRF), an offshoot of Lashkar-e-Taiba, claimed responsibility for the attack. India also struck Markaz Taiba in Muridke, which is the headquarters of LeT.
