Atleast 26 tourists were killed by terrorists in Pahalgam.
In tragic news, on Tuesday, April 22, 2025, at least 26 tourists were killed in a terrorist attack in Pahalgam in Jammu and Kashmir. The attack occurred days after a video of Pakistan's COAS, Asim Munir, raving about Hindus became viral on the internet.
The Resistance Front (TRF), an offshoot of Pakistan's Lashkar-e-Taiba, is suspected of carrying out Tuesday's attack, which was one of the worst in recent memory. Baisaran, where the Tuesday's attack happened, is in Pahalgam, a popular tourist destination in South Kashmir's Anantnag district.
A heartbreaking video of the tragedy has leaked online, showing vacationers desperately asking for aid while dead bodies lie in the meadows. The incident occurred about 3 p.m., when terrorists descended from the mountain in Baisaran valley and began firing at visitors who frequent the area, which is known as 'mini-Switzerland' because of its long, lush green meadows.
One of the terrible images from the attack that has gone viral on social media is of a bereaved woman hopelessly sitting alongside her deceased spouse. According to reports, the woman had just married and was on her honeymoon in Kashmir when terrorists attacked and killed her spouse.
There were two foreign tourists killed as well, and one Indian navy officer was amongst the slain, as per reports.
Several members of the Indian cricket fraternity took to social media and shared their shocked reactions to this tragedy.
