Pahalgam Attack Left 26 Dead, Mostly Tourists
India is observing one year since the devastating Pahalgam terror attack, in which 26 people were killed, including 25 tourists and a local pony operator who reportedly tried to save the visitors.
According to reports, the terrorists allegedly identified victims based on religion, forced them to recite Islamic verses, and then opened fire. Several victims were newly married couples, and many were shot in front of family members, making the attack one of the most shocking civilian massacres in recent years.

Officials described the military action as “focused, measured and non-escalatory,” aimed at destroying high-value terror camps and sending a strong message against cross-border terrorism.
The operation was seen as a decisive move in India’s continued efforts to dismantle terror networks threatening national security.
