At least 26 are dead in South Kashmir’s Pahalgam and several have been injured in a terror attack.
The incident occurred around 2.30 pm on Tuesday (April 22) afternoon when unidentified gunmen opened fire on a tourist group.
An outfit linked to the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) known as The Resistance Front has taken responsibility for the attack.
Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah said he was shocked beyond belief.
“I’m shocked beyond belief. This attack on our visitors is an abomination. The perpetrators of this attack are animals, inhuman & worthy of contempt. No words of condemnation are enough. I send my sympathies to the families of the deceased. I’ve spoken to my colleague @sakinaitoo & she has moved to the hospital to oversee arrangements for the injured. I’ll be flying back to Srinagar immediately,” Abdullah wrote on X.
