26 tourists were shot dead by terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam on April 22 in one of the worst attacks in the region.
A new video has emerged of the terrorist attack that took place in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir. In the video, a terrorist can be seen shooting a tourist. On April 22, terrorists opened fire on a group of tourists in Baisaran, Pahalgam, killing 26 of them. Seventeen others were injured in the attack.
In the video, a tourist dressed in white can be seen standing, while a terrorist in black clothes is positioned in front of him. Suddenly, the terrorist starts firing at the man. Chaos erupts immediately after, with people screaming and running in panic.
Following the attack, security forces have intensified their search for the terrorists. Alongside combing operations in the forests, efforts are also underway to destroy terrorist hideouts. These hideouts are being systematically demolished one by one.
Terrorists’ houses destroyed
The Indian Army, Jammu and Kashmir Police, and CRPF are conducting joint operations against the terrorists. So far, several terrorists’ houses have been destroyed. Late on Friday night, the house of Ehsaan Ahmad, a terrorist affiliated with Lashkar-e-Tahrik, was blown up in an explosion.
His house was located in Pulwama. Between Friday night and early Saturday, the army destroyed three terrorist houses in South Kashmir. These demolitions took place in Pulwama, Shopian, and Kulgam.
