Reports indicate that numerous tourists were tragically killed while others, including both tourists and locals, sustained injuries in a terrorist attack at the Pahalgam hill station in Anantnag district of Jammu and Kashmir on Tuesday, prompting security forces to initiate a large-scale operation to apprehend the attackers.
According to sources, two to three terrorists dressed in army uniforms opened fire on horse-riding tourists in the Baisran area around 2:30 p.m. Baisran, a small meadow located 3 to 4 km from the Pahalgam market, is typically accessed by horses due to the absence of a motorable road.
