A tragic attack in a mountain town in Indian-administered Kashmir left numerous tourists dead or wounded as militants opened fire. Estimates of the death toll range from 20 to 27, and officials have called the assault unprecedented against civilians in recent years. Despite the Indian government's portrayal of improved stability and rising tourism, separatist violence persists. As rescue operations faced challenges due to remote terrain, eyewitness accounts revealed the chaos and desperation following the attack, which occurred during a visit from Indian officials.
"The death toll is still being ascertained, but this attack is much larger than anything we've seen directed at civilians in recent years."
"Those behind this heinous act will be brought to justice; our resolve to fight terrorism is unshakable and will get even stronger."
