Srinagar and India-Gunman killed at least 26 tourists at the resort of Kashmir, where India controlled, the police said it seems to be a big change in the regional conflict that has been greatly saved on Tuesday.
The police explained that the incident was “terror attack” and condemned the armed forces fighting against India. Omar Abdullah, the most elected official of the region, said, “This attack is much larger than that of the civilians in recent years.
Two senior police officers said at least four gunmen, described as armed forces, were fired by dozens of tourists at a close distance. Police officers said at least 30 others were injured and many were injured in a serious state.
Most of the dead tourists were Indians, police officers said, saying, “anonymous conditions according to department policies. Officials gathered at least 24 bodies from Baisaran Meadow, about three miles from Pahalgam, a resort village in a conflict area. The other two died while taking it for treatment.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility. Police and soldiers were looking for an attacker.
Amit Shah, Indian Interior Minister, said, “We will go down to the perpetrators as a result of the harshest result.” He arrived in Srinagar, the main city of Indian control Kashmir, and convened the top security officials and meetings.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Saudi Arabia for two days, returned to New Delhi on Wednesday and returned to New Delhi on Wednesday, according to a news agency of Indian news agencies.
Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, a major resistant politician and the chief religious clergy of Kashmir, criticized him for his description of social media that he described it as “coward attack on tourists.”
The shooting was consistent with the visit to JD VANCE in the United States. He added to social media as follows: “For the last few days we have overcome this country and the beauty of them. Our thoughts and prayers are with them when we mourn this terrible attack.”
US President Donald Trump of Social Media pointed out that “the news was deeply hindered in Kashmir. The United States is powerful in India and terrorism.” Other global leaders, including Russian President Vladimir Putin and Prime Minister Georgia Melony, blamed this attack.
India and Pakistan, each of the nuclear weapons rivals, each manages some of the Kashmir, but both claim the territory as a whole.
Kashmir was killed by Hindu’s targets, including immigrants in Indian countries, after New Delhi ended the semi -autonomy of this region in 2019.
As India strengthens the rebels, tension is boiling. However, despite the fact that tourists flocked to Kashmir as a huge number for the foothills of the Himalayas and the elaborate house boats, they did not achieve their goals.
The area attracted millions of visitors who enjoyed strange peace due to ubiquitous security checkpoints, armored vehicles and patrol soldiers. New Delhi actively pushed tourism and insisted that it was a sign of a normal return.
Pahalgam’s grasslands are a popular destination surrounded by snowy mountains. Hundreds of tourists visit every day.
Rahul Gandhi, an opposition leader, said that the Modi government should take responsibility instead of making “China’s claim to the situation” in the region.
The armed forces in the Indian control of Kashmir have been fighting New Delhi since 1989. Many Muslim Kashmis supports the rebels to integrate the territory according to Pakistan’s rule or independent countries.
India claims that Kashmir’s armed forces are sponsored by Pakistan. Pakistan denies prosecution and many Kashmiris thinks it is a legitimate free struggle. Tens of thousands of civilians, rebels and government troops died in the dispute.
In March 2000, at least 35 civilians were killed in southern villages, and at the time President Bill Clinton visited India. It has been the most deadly attack of the region in recent years.
Recently, violence stopped in the Kashmir Valley, the center of the rebellion. The fight between the government and the rebels has been greatly changed to the secluded region of the Jammu area, including Rajouri, Poonch and Kathua, facing deadly attacks by the Indian army.
