In a tragic incident in Jammu and Kashmir, terrorists carried out a deadly attack near Pahalgam resulting in the loss of twenty-eight lives. The militant group, The Resistance Front, has claimed responsibility for the assault. This horrific event unfolded during the visit of US Vice President JD Vance to India, adding a layer of complexity to the situation. Reports indicate that the attackers demanded the victims to recite Islamic verses, with some managing to survive by reciting the kalma. This attack has once again raised concerns about Pakistan’s military stance and its mineral aspirations in the region. The incident has put a spotlight on the ongoing security challenges faced in the region. The authorities are actively investigating the matter to bring the perpetrators to justice and prevent such tragic incidents in the future.
