On April 22, 2025, militants from The Resistance Front attacked tourists in Baisaran Valley, Pahalgam, killing 26 and injuring over 20. India accused Pakistan of supporting the assailants, linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba and Hizbul Mujahideen. In response, India suspended the Indus Waters Treaty, expelled Pakistani diplomats, and closed the Attari-Wagah border. Prime Minister Modi vowed to bring the perpetrators to justice. The attack disrupted tourism in Kashmir, with many visitors fleeing. Pakistan denied involvement and retaliated by canceling Indian visas, suspending trade, and closing its airspace to Indian flights. The incident has escalated tensions between the nuclear-armed neighbors, raising concerns over potential military conflict. (PC: Herald Goa & NewsDrum)
