Overview
- The recording circulating on Telegram and X claims Jaish-e-Mohammed has thousands of suicide attackers ready, while its date and authenticity remain unverified and are under technical review by security agencies.
- In the clip, the speaker says the number is far beyond 1,000 and suggests revealing the full tally would cause an uproar in global media.
- Pro-ISI accounts posted the audio alongside a video of Lashkar-e-Taiba deputy Saifullah Kasuri, supporting assessments of a coordinated propaganda push after India’s Operation Sindoor degraded JeM infrastructure in Bahawalpur.
- JeM figures previously acknowledged losses from those strikes, with a commander admitting that several of Masood Azhar’s relatives and aides were killed at the Jamia Masjid Subhan Allah complex.
- Azhar, a UN-designated terrorist linked to the Pathankot and Pulwama attacks, has not appeared publicly since 2019, and intelligence inputs suggest he may be operating from Pakistan-occupied areas.
