2. Himalayas attack
The Indian Army corps is searching for the people responsible for a deadly attack on sightseers in the disputed Himalayan region of Jammu and Kashmir on Tuesday. Gunmen killed at least 26 people and injured a dozen others in the popular tourist destination of Pahalgam, which is located in the mountainous Anantnag district. It was one of the region’s worst assaults on civilians in years. A little-known militant group called The Resistance Front claimed responsibility for the attack, but it did not provide evidence and CNN could not independently verify its claim. By Tuesday night, tourists were scrambling to leave the region, prompting airlines to add extra flights. Outraged residents also took to the streets to protest the shooting and call for an end to terrorism.
