NEW DELHI: An image has surfaced showing one of the suspected terrorists involved in the attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam district.
According to the TV reports, a man was seen in the photograph running with an AK-47 rifle in his hand. However, the authenticity of the photograph cannot be independently verified.
In what is being described as the deadliest assault since the abrogation of Article 370 in 2019, at least 28 tourists were killed and many others injured on Tuesday.
The attack occurred in Baisaran meadow , a scenic area approximately 7 km from the resort town of Pahalgam, popular among tourists for its natural beauty and serene environment.
According to survivors, six foreign terrorists dressed in Army's fatigue uniform targeted their victims based on religion. The assailants reportedly asked individuals to identify themselves by name and recite Islamic verses before opening fire at point-blank range.
The attack occurred around 1:30 pm as tourists relaxed in the picturesque meadow, surrounded by snow-capped mountains and pine forests. Despite a strong security presence in the region, including multiple checkpoints and armed patrols, the attackers managed to breach defenses and unleash chaos in what should have been a peaceful tourist haven.
Meanwhile, security forces have carried out a major manhunt, combing the area to track down the terrorists responsible.
"The search operation is currently in progress, with all efforts focused on bringing the attackers to justice," the Indian army's Chinar Corps said in a statement overnight.
Meanwhile, the security forces also foiled an infiltration bid along the Line of Control in Baramulla.
According to the Indian Army, terrorists tried to infiltrate through general area Sarjeevan at Baramulla's Uri Nala.
"On 23 Apr 2025, approximately 2-3 UI terrorists tried to infiltrate through general area Sarjeevan at Uri Nala, Baramulla (in north Kashmir)," Chinar Corps said in a post on X.
The alert troops on the LoC challenged and intercepted the infiltrators, resulting in a firefight, the army said. "The operation is in progress," it added.
