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 known as The Resistance Front has claimed responsibility for the assault, which took place during US Vice President JD Vance’s visit to India. Reports indicate that the attackers demanded the victims to recite Islamic verses and those who recited the kalma were able to survive. This heinous act has once again brought Pakistan’s military posture and mineral ambitions under intense scrutiny. The region remains on high alert as security forces are on high alert to prevent any further such attacks.
