India executed highly coordinated airstrikes on May 7, targeting terror bases in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.
These precision strikes resulted in the elimination of five high-profile operatives affiliated with the terror groups Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM).
Among those neutralised were Mudassar Khadian Khas (LeT), Hafiz Muhammed Jameel (JeM), Mohammad Yusuf Azhar (JeM), Khalid aka Abu Akasha (LeT), and Mohammad Hassan Khan (JeM). These individuals were deeply involved in orchestrating terrorist attacks, radicalising youth, and managing terror funding networks.
The operation, codenamed “Operation Sindoor,” was a strategic response to the Pahalgam terror attack, ensuring that India’s national security interests remain uncompromised. Sources confirm that high-ranking Pakistani officials attended funerals for the deceased terrorists, further highlighting the alleged state support for these extremist elements.
