The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) has linked The Resistance Front (TRF) to Lashkar-e-Taiba in its assessment of the Pahalgam attack, which has implications for India-Pakistan relations. The report strengthens India's claims of Pakistan's backing of cross-border terrorism.

According to people familiar with the UNSC's 1267 Sanctions Committee, all decisions, including reports, are adopted by consensus, underlining the importance of this development. Pakistan has been criticized for allegedly trying to remove references to TRF from the UNSC's statement on the attack.

This attack, claimed by TRF, resulted in the deaths of 26 civilians. The report's mention of TRF challenges Pakistan's narrative and highlights fragile regional relations that could be exploited by terrorist groups, raising concerns about future incidents.
