On April 22, 2025, a brutal terror attack in Baisaran Valley near Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, claimed the lives of 26 individuals—25 Hindu tourists and one local Muslim pony operator. The Resistance Front (TRF), linked to Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba, claimed responsibility. Indian authorities allege the attackers selected victims based on religion. Two militants were reportedly Pakistani nationals. India responded by suspending the Indus Waters Treaty, expelling Pakistani diplomats, and increasing troop alertness along the Line of Control. Pakistan denied involvement and retaliated diplomatically. The incident has sharply escalated tensions between the nuclear-armed neighbors, raising fears of further conflict. (PC: The Hindu)
