In a tragic incident in Jammu and Kashmir, terrorists carried out a deadly attack near Pahalgam resulting in the deaths of twenty-eight individuals. The group responsible, The Resistance Front, has claimed responsibility for the assault. This heinous act took place 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 recite Islamic verses, with some managing to survive by reciting the kalma. This incident has brought Pakistan’s military stance and mineral aspirations under increased scrutiny. The region remains on high alert as authorities work to ensure the safety of residents and visitors. The attack serves as a stark reminder of the ongoing security challenges faced in the region and the need for continued vigilance to combat terrorism effectively.
