Jammu Kashmir:Pahalgam terror;Foreign tourists among 28 killed
At least 28 tourists are feared dead after unidentified gunmen opened fire on innocent civilians in Pahalgam’s Baisaran in Jammu and Kashmir. Authorities are yet to release an official death toll. Gunshots were heard in the area, following which security forces rushed there. Initial reports suggested a possible terror attack at a site frequented by tourists, the police said. Security forces have been rushed to the area, and an operation is currently underway, reported PTI.
The incident occurred at around 3 pm when terrorists came down from the mountain in Baisaran valley and started firing at the tourists who frequent the place, which is often dubbed as ‘mini Switzerland’ because of its long, lush green meadows.
Authorities pressed a chopper into service for the evacuation of the injured persons, the officials said, adding some of the injured were brought down from the meadows by local people on their ponies.
