Addressing a gathering of global experts from defence sector and diplomats at the Indo-Pacific Regional Dialogue, Lanba said the region had witnessed multiple forms of terrorism in recent years and few countries in this part of the world had been spared.
The global nature that terrorism has acquired in recent times has further enhanced the scope of this threat, he said.
India, however, faces a "far more serious" version of terrorism, the Navy chief said.
"We recently had the extremist attack in Jammu and Kashmir about three weeks ago. This violence was perpetrated by extremists aided and abetted by a State that seeks to destabilise India," the Navy chief said.
"We also have reports of terrorists being trained to carry out operations in various modus operandi, including through the medium of the sea," he added.
