On Tuesday, terrorists in Pahalgam, Jammu, and Kashmir, killed at least 26 people by firing indiscriminately at tourists. The terrorists, dressed in army uniform, first asked the tourists about their religion, checked their identity cards, and then shot them saying they were Hindus. Most of the 26 dead are tourists, while two are foreigners and two are local citizens. About 20 people have been injured in the attack. However, the government has confirmed only 16 deaths so far. At the same time, security agencies have detained some suspects late last night. Jammu is closed today in protest against the attack. Today, a meeting of the Cabinet Committee on Security is going to be held in Delhi. It will be chaired by PM Modi.
The Resistance Front (TRF), a group associated with the Pakistani terrorist organization Lashkar-e-Taiba, has taken responsibility for this cowardly attack before the Shri Amarnath Yatra starting on July 3. This is the biggest terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir since the Pulwama attack in February 2019. 47 CRPF jawans were killed in that attack.
After the attack, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who was returning from his Saudi Arabia trip, strongly condemned the incident and spoke to Home Minister Amit Shah over the phone and instructed him to take necessary steps and reach Kashmir. Shah immediately held a meeting with senior officers at his residence and then reached Srinagar.

A woman who narrowly escaped the attack said that the terrorists asked her husband's name and when it was found out that he was not a Muslim, they shot him in the head. The terrorists made some people take off their clothes and identified their religious identity. Another woman said, that as soon as the bullets were fired, people started running to save themselves, but there was no place to hide.
