Pahalgam Rocked by Terror: 26 Tourists Killed in Brutal Attack

PAHALGAM, June 28, 2025 – The picturesque Baisaran meadow in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, was transformed into a scene of unspeakable horror on April 22, 2025, when five armed terrorists unleashed a brutal attack, killing 26 tourists and injuring 20 others. The militants reportedly targeted Hindu visitors, demanding religious identification before shooting them point-blank.

The gruesome act, described as the deadliest attack on civilians in India since the 2008 Mumbai attacks, has sent shockwaves across the nation. Among the deceased were 25 tourists, including newlywed couples, and one local pony operator who attempted to intervene. The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has since arrested two locals for allegedly harbouring the Pakistani Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorists responsible. The incident has led to intensified counter-terrorism efforts, with India launching 'Operation Sindoor' and international condemnation pouring in.
