A deadly terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam has drawn strong global condemnation, with world leaders standing in solidarity with India. The assault, which left 26 people dead, took place in the scenic Baisaran meadow. Former U.S. President Donald Trump, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Russian President Vladimir Putin, and others expressed deep sympathies and pledged support to India in its fight against terrorism. The attack occurred during the visit of U.S. Vice President JD Vance, who also extended condolences. Home Minister Amit Shah rushed to Srinagar to review the security situation.
In a horrifying act of violence, at least 28 civilians—mostly tourists—were gunned down in a brutal terror attack in Kashmir’s Baisaran Valley near Pahalgam. The assailants, dressed in military-style uniforms, opened fire indiscriminately on a group of visitors enjoying the alpine meadows, triggering chaos and panic. The Resistance Front (TRF), linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba, has claimed responsibility. The attack, which comes just weeks before the Amarnath Yatra, has sparked national outrage and heightened security concerns across the Valley.
