#PahalgamAttack ❗
On April 22,2025,a devastating
attack occurred in Baisaran Valley near
Pahalgam,Indian-administered Kashmir,
resulting in the deaths of 26 individuals,
primarily Hindu tourists,and injuring over 20
others.The Resistance Front (TRF),an
offshoot of the Pakistan-based group
Lashkar-e-Taiba,claimed responsibility,
citing opposition to alleged demographic
changes in the region.
In response,India accused Pakistan of
supporting the attackers,a claim Pakistan
denies.The incident led to a brief exchange
of gunfire between Indian and Pakistani
troops along the Line of Control,though no
casualties were reported.
India has taken several retaliatory measures,
including suspending a key water-sharing
treaty,revoking visas for Pakistani nationals,
and closing the land border.Pakistan
responded by canceling Indian visas,closing
its airspace to Indian aircraft,and
suspending trade.Pakistan's Defense
Minister warned that interfering with water
flow could be considered an act of war and
hinted at suspending the Simla Agreement.
The United Nations has urged both
countries to exercise restraint and resolve
matters peacefully.Meanwhile,Indian
authorities are investigating suspects,
leading to punitive demolitions of homes in
Kashmir.Protests have erupted on both
sides of the border,with demonstrators
reacting vehemently to the unfolding crisis.
The attack has also impacted financial
markets,with the Indian rupee weakening
and stock indices retreating due to
heightened geopolitical tensions.Ruters
As the situation remains tense,both nations
face mounting pressure to de-escalate and
engage in dialogue to prevent further
conflict.
