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.”
