India fired missiles across the border into Pakistan and Pakistan-administered regions early on Wednesday in response to the deadly terror attack in Kashmir’s Pahalgam which claimed 26 lives last month.
The attack, which took place at the popular tourist destination on 22 April during peak tourist season, was the deadliest on civilians in Kashmir in decades. According to witnesses, the attack in Pahalgam was carried out by four to six gunmen in military fatigues who emerged from a nearby forest and unleashed a barrage of gunfire from close range.
