The UN Security Council's sanctions monitoring team reported that Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), a terror group based in Pakistan, was linked to the Red Fort attack in New Delhi on November 9, which killed 15 people. The report, the 37th by the Analytical Support and Sanctions Monitoring Team, stated, “One Member State noted that Jaish-e-Mohammed had claimed responsibility for a series of attacks.” It also revealed that JeM leader Mohammed Masood Azhar Alvi announced a women-only wing called Jamaat ul-Muminat on October 8 aimed at supporting terrorist attacks. Despite some reports claiming JeM was defunct, the team said three suspects linked to a July 28 attack in Pahalgam were killed. The Red Fort explosion involved a car blast near the metro station, causing numerous injuries. Responding on February 12, Indian Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal confirmed the report’s public release on February 4, adding India’s concerns on cross-border terrorism were included. “We have seen that they have taken on board our inputs, India's inputs in regard to our concern on cross-border terrorism,” he said. The report also highlighted that Al-Qaida in the Indian Subcontinent (AQIS) remains active in southeastern Afghanistan under leaders Osama Mahmoud and Yahya Ghauri. AQIS is believed to focus on external operations, often unclaimed to avoid Taliban complications. Additionally, ISIL-K (ISIL-Khorasan) is active mainly in northern Afghanistan near Pakistan’s border, expanding its propaganda and recruitment especially via the ongoing Gaza-Israel conflict. The report signals continuing terror threats in the region threatening security. Published on February 13, 2026.
