Jaish-e-Muhammed (JeM) commander Masood Ilyas Kashmiri's another clip has surfaced, in which he can be heard saying that Pakistan Army chief General Asim Munir ordered top officers to attend the funerals of the terrorists killed in India’s Operation Sindoor. The video, widely circulated on social media, reveals details of the Pakistan Army’s alleged involvement in honouring the slain militants.
In the video, Kashmiri disclosed that Pakistan’s General Headquarters (GHQ) issued directives for senior commanders to pay respects to the deceased terrorists with military protocol. He is heard saying, “GHQ directed that the martyrs be honoured with the last salute, and ordered corps commanders to accompany the janaza (funeral procession) in uniform and stand guard.”
In another video, seemingly from the same event, Kashmiri confirmed the involvement of JeM leader Masood Azhar in orchestrating terror attacks on Indian soil, specifically mentioning strikes in Delhi and Mumbai. He stated in Urdu, “After breaking free from Delhi’s Tihar Jail and escaping the grip of the enemies, when Amir-ul-Mujahideen Maulana Masood Azhar came to Pakistan, it was the soil of Balakot that gave him strength to carry forward his mission and his cause in Delhi and Mumbai… This soil, every grain of it, remains indebted to him.”
This follows an earlier clip that surfaced online, in which Kashmiri admitted that India’s Operation Sindoor strikes had devastated Masood Azhar’s family in Bahawalpur. He said, “Embracing terrorism, we fought Delhi, Kabul and Kandahar for protecting the borders of this country. After sacrificing everything, on May 7, Maulana Masood Azhar's family was torn apart by Indian forces in Bahawalpur,” recalling the assault.

Operation Sindoor
Operation Sindoor was launched in response to the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, which claimed the lives of 26 civilians, predominantly tourists. The Indian Army, Navy, and Air Force destroyed nine terrorist hideouts in Bahawalpur, Kotli, and Muridke in a concerted overnight operation. The targets included well-established networks of Hizbul Mujahideen, Lashkar-e-Taiba, and Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM).
Following the strikes, Colonel Sofiya Qureshi clarified that the operations were precise and designed to avoid civilian harm, stating that “no civilian casualties” were reported on India’s side. Pakistan, however, reported 26 deaths and 46 injuries but did not acknowledge that the targeted sites were terrorist hubs.
