Pakistani Terror Group Lashkar-e-Taiba Training a “Water Force” for Attacks on India, Video Surfaces

A disturbing new video has surfaced revealing fresh terrorist plots by Pakistan-based militant outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) against India. The footage, now circulating on social media, allegedly shows LeT training operatives in advanced aquatic warfare tactics—an initiative being referred to as the creation of a so-called “Water Force.”

The video was shared by OSINT TV on the social media platform X. According to the accompanying claim, LeT’s political front, the Pakistan Markazi Muslim League, is overseeing the program. Its Secretary General, Haris Dar, is seen inspecting trainees and detailing the nature of the water-based training underway across Pakistan.

The training reportedly includes scuba diving, professional swimming, high-speed boat handling, and even social media operations. In the footage, Dar is heard questioning trainees about the skills they have acquired and asking whether any of them have undergone martial arts or self-defense training. Another senior LeT figure is later heard boasting that a “Water Force” is being formed and that at least 135 young men have already been trained to operate boats.

The video also contains provocative remarks, with the militant leader mocking Indian media coverage of the training and openly flaunting the group’s preparations for water-based terror operations.

While Navbharat Times has not independently verified the authenticity of the video, it is a fact that in recent months several similar clips have emerged from Pakistan. These have shown leaders of banned outfits such as Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed making openly inflammatory and anti-India statements.

The Pakistan Markazi Muslim League is widely known as the political wing of Lashkar-e-Taiba, led by global terrorist Hafiz Saeed. LeT and Saeed were responsible for the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks, which killed over 160 people.

The latest revelations come against the backdrop of heightened tensions following last year’s terror attack in Pahalgam. In retaliation, India launched “Operation Sindoor,” targeting nine terrorist camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), including the Jaish-e-Mohammed headquarters in Bahawalpur. Subsequently, the Pakistani government, military officials, and even terror leaders themselves admitted—albeit in fragments—that the Indian strikes had dealt a severe blow to their infrastructure.

Security analysts warn that the emergence of such specialized training programs underscores the persistent and evolving nature of cross-border terror threats, and reinforces the need for heightened maritime and coastal vigilance by Indian security agencies.
