A report linked to the United Nations Security Council has identified the Pakistan-based militant organisation Jaish-e-Mohammad as being connected to the terrorist attack near Delhi’s historic Red Fort.
The finding is contained in the 37th report issued by the Analytical Support and Sanctions Monitoring Team operating under the Security Council’s 1267 Sanctions Committee. According to the report, a member state informed the Committee that Jaish-e-Mohammad had claimed responsibility for the deadly attack that took place near the Red Fort in Delhi last year.
The report refers to a car bomb explosion that occurred near the Red Fort in New Delhi on 10 November 2025. The attack reportedly claimed 15 lives. It states that the network involved in the incident was found to have links with Jaish-e-Mohammad.
The report also addresses concerns relating to cross-border terrorism, stating that terrorist organisations active in South Asia continue to pose a threat to international peace. India has consistently raised the issue of cross-border terrorism at international forums, alleging that Pakistani territory is used by terrorist organisations. The report is being viewed as support for India’s stated concerns.
The document further mentions Masood Azhar, leader of Jaish-e-Mohammad. According to the report, on 8 October he announced the formation of a separate women’s wing within the organisation named Jamaat-ul-Muminat. While this wing is not currently listed under United Nations sanctions, the report describes it as a network supporting terrorist activities.
The report records differing views among member states regarding the current status of Jaish-e-Mohammad. One member state stated that the organisation remains active and continues its activities under different names. Another member state asserted that the group has become inactive. Pakistan has previously stated at international forums that Jaish-e-Mohammad and Lashkar-e-Taiba are no longer active following the imposition of bans.
The report also refers to the terrorist attack in Pahalgam in April 2025, in which 26 civilians were killed. It states that The Resistance Front claimed responsibility for that attack and is regarded as a proxy of Lashkar-e-Taiba. Following the incident, India carried out action against terrorist infrastructure located in Pakistan.
According to the report, three suspected terrorists were killed on 28 July 2025. It further notes that in May, India conducted military action against terrorist bases situated in Pakistan. The report links these measures to India’s security concerns related to cross-border terrorism.
