10, 2025, blast outside Red Fort in New Delhi. The UNSC's Sanctions Monitoring Committee has named the proscribed terror outfit in its latest report. As per the report, "One Member State noted that Jaish-i-Mohammed had claimed responsibility for a series of attacks." The report further stated that the terror group "was also reported to be linked to an attack on the Red Fort in New Delhi on 9 November that killed 15 people." Significantly, the report also flags the terror outfit's attempt to include women in its ranks. "On 8 October, Jaish-i-Mohammed leader Mohammed Masood Azhar Alvi (QD1.422) formally announced the establishment of a women-only wing, Jamaat ul-Muminat (not listed), which was aimed at supporting terrorist attacks," the report notes. The report, however, also seems to add a different assessment by another "Member State". "Another Member State reported that Jaish-i-Mohammed was defunct," it says.

Pahalgam Attack Mentioned In UNSC Report

Separately, the report also mentioned that "three individuals allegedly involved in the attack perpetrated in Pahalgam, in Jammu and Kashmir, were killed". The report states that the trio were killed "on 28 July".

Delhi Red Fort Blast

A powerful explosion ripped through a slow-moving Hyundai i20 car near the Red Fort Metro Station in New Delhi, in the early evening of November 10, 2025. The blast killed dozens of people and injured many others, in what became one of the deadliest attacks in the capital in recent years.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) took over the probe, treating the incident as a terror attack. Over the weeks that followed, probe agencies, including police teams from Delhi, Jammu and Kashmir and Haryana, started unravelling a white-collar terror module, especially with the arrests of Dr Muzammil Shakeel Ganai, Dr Adeel Rather, Dr Shaheen Saeed and Maulvi Irfan Ahmad Wagay. Another doctor, Dr Umar Mohammad, was identified as the mastermind of the terror attack, and was seen driving the explosives-laden vehicle which burst at the Red Fort traffic junction.

According to probe agencies, Dr Umar was part of a network linked to the JeM terror outfit and facilitated logistics and communication among operatives.
