The terror attacks in Pahalgam have sent chills down the spines. Terrorists targeted a group of innocent tourists in the Baisaran Valley, spreading fear as they opened fire from close range. The attackers attempted to disrupt the peace and harmony of the Kashmir Valley, which is typically brimming with tourists at this time of year. Hindu tourists were particularly targeted during the attack, and the TRF, a group of the banned Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) terror group, has claimed responsibility for the incident. At least 26 civilians are feared dead, while several others were injured. Indian Olympians have raised their voice against terrorism and have condemned the attacks which happened at Pahalgam.
