In the speech, Azhar outlines how women will be recruited, trained, and used as part of his long-term “global jihad” vision, drawing direct parallels between the new women’s structure and JeM’s long-running male training programme.
In a rare admission, JeM commander Masood Ilyas Kashmiri confirmed that Indian forces dealt heavy losses to Masood Azhar’s family during the May 7 Bahawalpur strikes under Operation Sindoor.

The truck, which was intercepted at 8 am on the Jammu-Pathankot Highway, was on its way to Kashmir from Bamyal area of Punjab, the police said.
