Gunmen carried out a deadly attack on a strategic tunnel project in Indian-controlled Kashmir, resulting in the deaths of at least seven people and injuries to five others. The incident occurred at a construction workers' camp near the town of Sonamarg, with police attributing the violence to militants opposing Indian rule.

The assailants, armed with firearms, targeted officials and workers associated with the construction project, leading to the immediate deaths of two individuals. Subsequently, five more victims succumbed to their injuries in the hospital. Among the deceased were five non-local laborers, one Kashmiri worker, and a Kashmiri doctor.
