Watch | Masood Azhar's family 'torn into pieces on May 7': JeM top commander admits losses in Operation Sindoor

In a video, he can be heard saying, 'Embracing terrorism, we fought Delhi, Kabul and Kandahar for protecting the borders of this country'

Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) commander Masood Ilyas Kashmiri has revealed that top commander Masood Azhar's family was "torn into pieces" during an attack by the Indian forces in Bahawalpur, Pakistan.

In a viral video, Kashmiri, who is seen accompanied by gun-wielding personnel, describes how the forces attacked them after identifying their hideout.

In the video, he can be heard saying, "Embracing terrorism, we fought Delhi, Kabul and Kandahar for protecting the borders of this country."

He says, "After sacrificing everything, on May 7, Maulana Masood Azhar's family was torn apart by the Indian forces in Bahawalpur."

The address comes months after Operation Sindoor, which aimed to destroy terror establishments in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) and Pakistan, in the aftermath of the Pahalgam terror attack.

On May 7, 2025, the Indian Air Force launched Operation Sindoor, targeting Lashkar-e-Taiba’s (LeT) headquarters at Markaz Taiba in Muridke and several other sites.

The operation also targeted key bases of Jaish-e-Mohammed in Bahawalpur and Hizbul Mujahideen in Sialkot, along with additional LeT facilities in Barnala and Muzaffarabad.

The strikes triggered four days of intense clashes that ended with an understanding on stopping the military actions on May 10.
