Gun violence in Kashmir: Two assailants slain following attack in Pahalgam, India
In a significant development, the Indian Army has successfully thwarted a terrorist attack in the picturesque town of Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, on Tuesday, April 22, 2025. The attack, which took place around 2:30 p.m., resulted in the death of at least 26 people and injuries to dozens of others.
The Indian Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, strongly condemned the terror attack and offered condolences to the families of the victims. Modi promised that those responsible for the attack will be brought to justice and that their evil agenda will not succeed. He reiterated India's resolve to fight terrorism, stating that it will get even stronger.
The Indian Army confirmed the killing of two men who were part of a gang that opened fire in Pahalgam. A "heavy exchange of fire" occurred between the gunmen and the army, who stated that they had participated in the attack at Baramulla. The army also recovered a large quantity of weapons, ammunition, and other war-like stores from the gunmen.
The terrorist attack in Pahalgam was carried out by militants from the Resistance Front (TRF), a local offshoot of the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba, who took responsibility for the attack. This is not the first time that the TRF has been involved in such activities.
