It was a bold and precise military move that the Indian Army launched Operation Sindoor penetrating deep inside the Bahawalpur region of Pakistan.

Confirmed reports say at least 10 of Masood Azhar’s relatives, including his wife, son, elder sister, brother in law and four close aides were killed. Apart from the senior Jaish members the strike also took lives of their children. The compound was a high value target identified by Indian intelligence as the hub for planning attacks like the one in Pulwama.
According to reports, Azhar, visibly shattered, said “It would’ve been better if I had died too.” It’s a rare public reaction from a man who once bragged about terrorizing across borders.
