In a shocking attack in Kashmir, militants killed at least 26 tourists and wounded many others, marking one of the worst assaults on civilians in recent years. India has condemned the incident as a terrorist attack; however, no group has claimed responsibility yet. This escalation brings to light the longstanding conflict over Kashmir, a territory that both India and Pakistan claim. The backdrop of this violence traces back to the partition of British India in 1947, which left Kashmir's status undecided and has been a source of tension ever since.
Kashmir, a scenic and ethnically diverse valley in the Himalayan mountains, has been racked by violence for generations, exacerbated by its contested political status.
No group has immediately claimed responsibility for the shooting; however, India has historically blamed Pakistan for similar attacks in the conflict over Kashmir.
