Jaish rebuilds Bahawalpur base, satellite shows
- Jaish-e-Mohammad rebuilds its Bahawalpur headquarters in Pakistan, with satellite images showing construction one year after India's Operation Sindoor airstrikes destroyed the site. - Imagery from April 2026 reveals new buildings, cleared debris, and activity at the base plus a linked facility in Muzaffarabad, indicating full operational renewal. - Rebuild undermines India's strike deterrence amid fragile India-Pakistan ceasefire, raising tensions as analysts warn of renewed terror threats from the group.
Satellite images caught Jaish-e-Mohammad — Pakistan-based terror group behind the 2019 Pulwama attack — rebuilding its main Bahawalpur headquarters exactly one year after India bombed it flat in Operation Sindoor. The site looks active again, with fresh construction and cleared land signaling business as usual for the militants. This poke at India's red lines keeps the fragile ceasefire between the nuclear rivals on edge — deterrence just got harder. ### What is Jaish-e-Mohammad? Jaish-e-Mohammad, or JeM, formed in 2000 by Masood Azhar, a hardcore jihadi freed in a 1999 plane hijacking. It specializes in Kashmir attacks — think suicide bombings on Indian troops and civilians
