A deadly attack on tourists in Pahalgam, Kashmir, resulted in the deaths of at least 26 people, making it the deadliest civilian attack in the region since 2000. Gunmen emerged from forests and opened fire on visitors at a popular tourist spot. Prime Minister Narendra Modi condemned the "heinous act" and vowed to bring the perpetrators to justice, cutting short his visit to Saudi Arabia to address the situation. Security forces have launched a major manhunt in the area. No group has claimed responsibility, but the attack occurred in a region with a long-standing insurgency. The attack has drawn widespread condemnation internationally, with leaders offering support to India. Survivors reported that the gunmen appeared to target men.
