For the first time since Operation Sindoor, a top Lashkar-e-Taiba leader has admitted the impact of India’s strike. Saifullah Kasuri, deputy chief of LeT and a key figure behind the Pahalgam terror attack, has publicly declared that India “made a mistake” by targeting terror camps, a statement that confirms New Delhi’s claims of precision military action. Kasuri’s aggressive rhetoric and territorial threats reveal the strategic discomfort within Pakistan-backed terror ranks. India’s restraint denied them escalation. Its accuracy denied them deniability.
