After 26 tourists are killed in the Pahalgam attack, PM Modi calls a CCS meeting.
In one of the deadliest attacks in Jammu and Kashmir, Lashkar-e-Taiba-linked terrorists targeted a group of tourists in Pahalgam on Tuesday, killing at least 26 people, including foreign nationals, and injuring several others. The Resistance Front (TRF), an offshoot of Lashkar-e-Taiba, claimed responsibility for the attack, which took place in the Baisaran Meadows area. Eyewitnesses reported that two to three terrorists, dressed in military fatigues, opened fire indiscriminately at tourists enjoying horseback rides.
The attackers reportedly asked victims about their religion before executing them. Among the deceased were a mix of local and international victims, including names such as Sushil Nathyal, Syed Adil Hussain Shah, and foreign nationals like Neeraj Udhawani and Shubham Dwivedi.

Jaishankar. A crucial meeting of the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) is scheduled to take place later today, as the nation grapples with the aftermath of the brazen assault.
