Kashmir terrorists attack: 26 people, mostly tourists, killed in Pahalgam's 'mini Switzerland'

PAHALGAM— Terrorists opened fire at a famed meadow near Kashmir's Pahalgam town on Tuesday (April 22) afternoon, killing 26 people, mostly tourists, in what is the deadliest attack in the Valley since the Pulwama strike in 2019.

 

The 26 dead included two foreigners and two locals, a high ranking official said without getting into details. The toll is still being ascertained, Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah said while describing the terror attack as "much larger than anything we've seen directed at civilians in recent years".

 

The attack, which comes as US Vice President J D Vance is visiting India and just as the tourist and trekking season is picking up momentum, took place around 3 pm, officials said. ~ PTI
