The attack, which occurred on Tuesday afternoon around 3 pm, unfolded in the Baisaran Valley near Pahalgam—an area known for its scenic beauty and often referred to as ‘mini Switzerland’. According to reports, terrorists descended from the hills and opened fire on a group of tourists. Prime Minister Narendra Modi cut short his visit to Saudi Arabia and is returning to India in response. Former J&K CM Omar Abdullah termed the attack “much larger than anything we’ve seen directed at civilians in recent years.”
