On April 22, 2025, a major terror attack occurred in Baisaran Valley near Pahalgam, Jammu & Kashmir, when five armed militants opened fire on tourists,

killing 26 civilians-primarily Hindu tourists, but also a Christian tourist and a local Muslim pony operator

The Resistance Front (TRF), believed to be a proxy for Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), initially claimed responsibility for the attack but later denied involvement, alleging a cyber intrusion led to the false claim

This was the deadliest attack on civilians in India since the 2008 Mumbai attacks and the largest targeting tourists in decades

The attack sharply escalated India-Pakistan tensions, with India accusing Pakistan of backing the terrorists, suspending diplomatic and water-sharing

agreements, and both countries taking retaliatory measures, including closing borders and airspace

The United Nations Security Council and several countries issued strong condemnations, expressing solidarity with India and calling for accountability
