The victims were attacked by militants from The Resistance Front (TRF), a faction of Lashkar-e-Taiba, around midday in Baisaran Valley. Eyewitnesses have reported that the attackers posed as security personnel before opening fire indiscriminately on the tourists. Shockingly, the assailants reportedly singled out non-Muslim victims, asking them to recite religious phrases and checking for circumcision, while sparing those who met their criteria.
