Militants opened fire on tourists in Kashmir’s Baisaran Valley near Pahalgam, killing 26 and injuring 17 in one of the deadliest civilian attacks in the region in decades. Eyewitnesses described panic and gruesome scenes as attackers questioned people’s identities before shooting; a newlywed groom was killed while his wife was spared and told to “tell your government.” The assault shattered a period of relative calm and booming tourism since India revoked Kashmir’s semiautonomous status in 2019. Families and groups on leisure trips were among the victims, and the incident triggered a mass exodus of tourists, emptying hotels and raising doubts about security in the heavily promoted destination.
