Masood Azhar's 10 Family Members Dead, Indian Army Press Highlights
India launched Operation Sindoor, a powerful strike destroying major terror camps in Pakistan to avenge the Pahalgam attack and honour its victims.
In our previous video, we told you about Operation Sindoor, the recent military action by India. Reports say that Prime Minister Narendra Modi suggested the name in memory of the women widowed in the Pahalgam terror attack.
As part of Operation Sindoor, the Indian Armed Forces carried out 24 missile strikes on 9 major terror camps across Pakistan and PoJK (Pakistan-occupied Jammu & Kashmir), killing over 70 terrorists. In a shocking update, 10 family members of Jaish-e-Mohammed chief Maulana Masood Azhar were also killed in the strikes.
After the operation, the Indian government held a press conference. Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri, Col. Sofiya Qureshi, and Wing Commander Vyomika Singh addressed the media. A special video was shown which highlighted major terror attacks faced by India—from the 2001 Parliament Attack to the 2025 Pahalgam Attack.
The government shared that over the last 10 years, more than 350 Indian civilians and 600 security personnel have lost their lives due to cross-border terrorism. “No more now,” said the officials, showing India’s firm stand.
Foreign Secretary Misri said the Pahalgam attack was brutal, where terrorists shot tourists in front of their families. Last year, 2.3 crore people visited Kashmir, and the terrorists wanted to scare them and disturb peace.
India had informed the UN about the group behind the Pahalgam attack—The Resistance Front (TRF), which is linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT). After collecting proof, India carried out the strikes. All targets were carefully chosen, and no civilians were harmed.
Col. Sofiya Qureshi shared that the operation was done in the early hours of 7th May. She presented videos of successful hits on camps like Mundrike and others. Camps targeted included:
1. Sarjal, Sialkot – Where terrorists who killed 4 J&K policemen were trained.
2. Mehmoona Joya, Sialkot – Linked to the Pathankot attack.
3. Markaz Taiba, Muridke – Known for training 26/11 attackers.
4. Markaz Subhanallah, Bahawalpur – Jaish-e-Mohammed headquarters.
5. Sawai Nala & Syedna Bilal Camps, Muzaffarabad – Training centres for recent attacks.
6. Gulpur & Abbas Camps, Kotli – Active in attacks on pilgrims and security forces.
7. Barnala, Bhimber – Handled weapons and jungle training.
The nation came together in support. Leaders from across parties praised the Armed Forces:
