One year since the horrific terrorist attack on Hindus at Pahalgam.

The Pahalgam terror attack occurred on April 22, 2025, when 26 people were killed in a brutal massacre targeting tourists. The attack was carried out by The Resistance Front, an offshoot of the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba. The attackers singled out victims after asking about their religion, forcing them to recite the Islamic kalima to identify non-Muslims. Among those killed were 25 tourists and one local pony-ride operator who tried to save them. Among the victims were several newly-married couples, and many were shot at close range in front of their families. In response to the attack, Indian armed forces launched Operation Sindoor on May 6 and 7, carrying out what officials described as a focused, measured and non-escalatory military action targeting high-value terror bases in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir. Following the operation, Pakistan responded with drone activity and shelling over the next week, targeting civilian and religious sites and schools. India subsequently carried out retaliatory strikes, including on radar installations in Lahore and facilities near Gujranwala. After sustaining significant damage, Pakistans Director General of Military Operations reached out to his Indian counterpart, urging a stop to military action.
