Pahalgam Attack

In one of the worst terror strikes that targeted tourists in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam amid the ongoing visit of US Vice-President JD Vance to India, gunmen killed at least 27 people and wounded many others after identifying them as non-Muslims on Tuesday, triggering a nationwide outrage and condemnation from all quarters, according to media reports.

Meanwhile, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, joined by Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha, has reached Srinagar and may visit the attack area as well.

While TV9 Network put the toll at 27, various media reports confirmed more than 20 deaths in the attack and several injuries that prompted Union Home Minister Amit Shah to rush to Srinagar after he wrapped up a high-level meeting in Delhi.

Pahalgam attracts a large number of tourists every year.

India Today news channel reported that The Resistance Front (TRF), a shadow outfit of Pakistan-based terror group Lashkar-e-Taiba, has claimed responsibility for the incident.

The attack took place at a time when Jammu and Kashmir is witnessing a spike in tourist footfalls.

The registration for the annual Amarnath Yatra pilgrimage is also ongoing.

The 38-day pilgrimage will begin on July 3.
