UN Report Says Jaish-e-Mohammed Claimed Responsibility for 2025 Delhi Blast; Notes Pahalgam Attack

A United Nations Security Council (UNSC) report has stated that Pakistan-based terror outfit Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) claimed responsibility for the car explosion near Delhi’s Red Fort on November 10, 2025, which left 15 people dead.

The findings were submitted to the UNSC’s 1267 Sanctions Committee, the body responsible for monitoring sanctions against terrorist organisations linked to ISIS and Al-Qaeda. The report also refers to the Pahalgam attack in Jammu and Kashmir, noting that the three militants involved in that incident have since been killed.

The Delhi blast occurred when a vehicle exploded near the Red Fort, a high-security and densely visited heritage site in the national capital. The National Investigation Agency (NIA), which is leading the probe, had earlier described the network behind the attack as a “white-collar terror module,” citing the alleged involvement of educated professionals in logistical and financial support roles.

Investigators have arrested nine people in connection with the case so far. Among them are three doctors accused of facilitating the network. The NIA has said its investigation uncovered links between the accused and Jaish-e-Mohammed as well as Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind.

The UN report further states that JeM chief Masood Azhar allegedly established a separate women’s wing in October 2025 named Jamaat-ul-Muminat. The wing is said to have been formed to support the organisation’s militant activities, including recruitment and logistical operations. However, the report notes that this entity is not currently listed under UN sanctions.

The document reflects differing assessments among UN member states regarding JeM’s operational status. While some countries maintain that the group remains active and continues to promote terrorism, others have assessed that it has been relatively inactive in recent years.

The reference to the Pahalgam strike in the report underscores broader concerns about militant activity in Jammu and Kashmir. Though the three attackers involved in that incident have been neutralised, security agencies continue to monitor potential cross-border linkages.

The UNSC submission comes amid ongoing counter-terror investigations in India and renewed scrutiny of transnational terror financing and recruitment patterns. Authorities have not disclosed further operational details, citing the sensitivity of the case.

The NIA’s probe into the Delhi blast is ongoing, with officials indicating that additional charges may be filed as forensic and digital evidence is examined.
