CNN-News18 has exclusively accessed a video of Saifullah Kasuri, deputy chief of Lashkar-e-Taiba and alleged mastermind of the April 22, 2025, Pahalgam terror attack, issuing direct threats of a 26/11-style maritime attack against India. Kasuri claimed Pakistan "dominated the air in 2025" and will "dominate the sea in 2026," warning of no safe space for India across land, air or sea. He accused India of "water terrorism," threatened Hindu religious sites including temples, and warned that pressure on Kashmir would trigger unrest in Balochistan. Intelligence sources interpret these statements as advance warning of a potential Arabian Sea terror operation. Kasuri also openly acknowledged continued coordination with Pakistan's army and ISI.
