On May 7, 2025, India launched Operation

on nine terror camps affiliated
with Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and

Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (POK).
The targeted sites included key
operational headquarters such as Markaz
Subhan Allah in Bahawalpur (linked to JeM)

efforts against groups operating
from across the border.

Azhar's family, 4 of his aides, and around

minutes, is believed to have neutralized
between 70 and 80 terrorists in total,
in response to the Pahalgam carnage,

killed 26 people, mostly tourists."

Army in the border areas of
Jammu and Kashmir has resulted in
