A horrific attack in India's Kashmir region resulted in the death of at least two dozen tourists, marking a significant escalation in violence against civilians. The militants opened fire in the Baisaran Valley, notorious for its scenic beauty and popularity among Indian travelers. Eyewitnesses recounted a horrific scene of chaos, as the injured were evacuated on horseback. Prime Minister Modi condemned the attack as a terror act, vowing justice. Despite a decline in violence in recent years, this incident underscores ongoing tensions in a region with a long history of conflict.
The attack occurred in a picturesque district of pine-covered hills and valleys that is popular with Indian travelers, marking the worst assault against civilians in years.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi condemned what he called a terror attack and assured that those responsible for the heinous act would be brought to justice.
Binu Bhai, who was among the injured, described the scene, stating he saw around a dozen dead bodies on the ground as gunmen fired indiscriminately.
The bloodshed in Kashmir has declined recently after the Modi government revoked the region's special status and began direct administration from New Delhi.
