Indian forces killed three 'terrorists' behind Kashmir attack, home minister says
The attackers, who New Delhi said were Pakistanis backed by Islamabad, opened fire in a valley popular with tourists in Kashmir's scenic, mountainous region of Pahalgam, before fleeing into the surrounding pine forests.
Islamist Pakistan denied involvement in the attack — the worst assault on civilians in India since the 2008 Mumbai attacks — and sought an independent investigation.
The four-day fighting between the nuclear-armed rivals was their worst in decades.

Gunmen involved in Indian Kashmir tourist attack killed: minister
Indian Army soldiers are near the site of a gunbattle between militants and Indian security forces on the outskirts of Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, on July 28, 2025. Indian security forces have killed three gunmen who were involved in an attack on Hindu tourists in Indian Kashmir, home minister Amit Shah said on Tuesday. The heavily-armed men were killed in a military operation on Monday, more than three months after 26 people were gunned down in a popular resort town of Indian Kashmir on April 22. "I want to tell the parliament that those who attacked in Baisaran were three terrorists and all three have been killed," he said. Shah identified two of the three killed as members of Lashkar-e-Taiba, a UN-designated terrorist group based in Pakistan. "Indian security agencies have detailed evidence of their involvement in the attack," he said in a speech in the lower house of parliament.
