Top JeM Leader Maulana Masood Azhar’s Family Members Killed in Indian Missile Strikes
Among those killed in the Indian missile strikes were the elder sister and her husband of JeM chief Maulana Masood Azhar, as well as his nephew and his wife.
In a major development, several close relatives of Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) chief Maulana Masood Azhar were reportedly killed in recent Indian missile strikes. Among those confirmed dead are his elder sister and her husband, along with his nephew and the nephew’s wife. These high-impact strikes are seen as a significant blow to the top leadership of the Pakistan-based terror outfit.
Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) chief Masood Azhar has confirmed that ten of his family members and four of his close associates were killed during a targeted strike carried out by the Indian armed forces under ‘Operation Sindoor’.
According to sources, the precision strike marks a major success in India’s ongoing counter-terrorism operations. The confirmation from Azhar himself highlights the impact of the operation on the core leadership and inner circle of the Pakistan-based terror group.
Authorities in India have remained tight-lipped about the specifics of the mission but reaffirmed their commitment to combating terrorism across all fronts.
In a decisive move, targeted strikes were carried out on nine terror-linked locations across Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), including a major compound in Bahawalpur, as part of an anti-terror operation.

Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) chief Masood Azhar has issued a statement confirming that an Indian Air Force (IAF) strike on the group’s headquarters — Markaz Subhan Allah in Bahawalpur — claimed the lives of 10 members of his family and four of his close aides.
Azhar, visibly enraged, directly blamed Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the operation. In a chilling warning, he stated, “Is zulm ne saaray zabtay tor diye hain. Ab koi reham ki umeed na rakhe,” which translates to, “This cruelty has broken all boundaries. Now, no one should expect mercy.”
Among the casualties, Azhar named his elder sister and her husband, a nephew and his wife, and a niece.
According to official sources, the Indian Air Force executed precision night raids targeting nine terror hideouts located in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). These included key operational centers of banned terror outfits Jaish-e-Mohammed, Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), and Hizbul Mujahideen.
The operation marks a significant escalation in India’s counter-terror strategy and underscores the government’s commitment to eliminating terror infrastructure across the border.

In a series of precise military operations, nine terror-linked locations across Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) were successfully targeted.

Additionally, two Hizbul Mujahideen facilities – Makaz Raheel Shahid in Kotli and Mehmoona Joya in Sialkot – were among those neutralized.
Out of the total nine sites targeted, four were located within Pakistan, while five were situated in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).
Operation Sindoor’: A Symbol of Love and Loss in the Wake of Pahalgam Tragedy
The name ‘Operation Sindoor’ draws from the red vermilion traditionally worn by Hindu women to signify the sacred bond of marriage. On April 22, a haunting image captured the nation’s attention—a Hindu woman, frozen in shock and sorrow, sat beside her husband’s lifeless body. The image quickly went viral across social media platforms, becoming a heartbreaking symbol of the brutal assault in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, which claimed 26 innocent lives. The tragedy has left deep scars and stirred national mourning, with the image representing the profound human cost of violence in the region.
