In a heart-wrenching terrorist attack that unfolded in the scenic Baisaran meadow near Pahalgam, Kashmir, 28 lives were claimed and over 20 were left injured. Armed militants stormed the area on Tuesday afternoon, firing indiscriminately at tourists enjoying the serene landscape. Among the deceased were two foreign nationals and two local residents.
The Resistance Front (TRF), an offshoot of the banned Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), has taken responsibility for the heinous act. Intelligence reports suggest that the assailants infiltrated from Kishtwar, Jammu.
This unprecedented strike has sparked national outrage and grief. As the Amarnath Yatra looms, the attack has raised severe concerns about security measures in the region. Prime Minister Narendra Modi vowed unyielding action against terrorism, and a large-scale manhunt is underway to apprehend the perpetrators.
