It is important to note that the Pahalgam attack occurred on April 22, 2025, when tourists were targeted. Pakistan-backed terrorists killed 26 tourists by asking them their religion. Among the deceased were 25 tourists and a local pony driver who attempted to save them. The attack was carried out by ‘The Resistance Front,’ a faction associated with Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba.
In response to this attack, the Indian Armed Forces launched ‘Operation Sindoor’ on May 6 and 7, targeting key terrorist hideouts in Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir.
