On April 22, terrorists gunned down 26 people, mostly tourists, in the picturesque Baisaran meadow near Pahalgam.

Following the Pahalgam terror attack, Pakistan’s Defence Minister advocated for an international investigation involving Russia and China. The attack, claimed by the Resistance Front, resulted in 26 deaths.

An attack on tourists in India's Himalayan territory of Kashmir this week sparked a new crisis between nuclear armed South Asian neighbours India and Pakistan, with New Delhi blaming militants with "cross-border linkages" for the killings.
