NEW DELHI: Several tourists were injured on Tuesday in a suspected terrorist attack in the Baisaran Valley area of Pahalgam , located in the Anantnag district of Jammu and Kashmir , police told news agency PTI.
The gunshots were reportedly heard in the Valley, a popular tourist destination often referred to as "mini-Switzerland," prompting the immediate deployment of security forces to the area.
The site is accessible only on foot or horseback, making the rescue and response efforts more challenging.
Officials have confirmed injuries among tourists, though the extent is yet to be fully determined.
Reacting to the attacks, BJP leader Ravinder Raina claimed that Pakistani terrorists were behind the brutal killings of the tourists.
He said that the entire area has been cordoned off and that terrorists and those helping them would be punished.
"Pakistani terrorists have carried out a cowardly terrorist attack on tourists in Pahalgam, South Kashmir. Cowardly Pakistani terrorists cannot face the brave soldiers of the Indian Army, Jammu and Kashmir Police and our paramilitary forces. These cowardly terrorists have targeted unarmed innocent tourists who had come to visit Kashmir," Raina said.
He further added: "Some tourists have been admitted to the local hospital in an injured condition. The entire area has been cordoned off by the Army and police. The terrorists who are guilty of this attack and those who are helping them will be punished."
