As per initial reports, a 8-10 tourists (exact number not cleared) were injured in a terrorist attack in a popular tourist spot Pahalgam in Anantnag district in Jammu and Kashmir today. The terrorists were apparently in camouflage and it is believed to be a targeted attack.

Security forces and medical teams have rushed to the area.

According to sources, militants opened fire on tourists at Baisaran, an off-the-road meadow in Pahalgam. Baisaran is a popular destination among tourists. This is the first militant attack on tourists this year. The last time militants attacked tourists was in May, last year, when two tourists were injured. That incident also took place in Pahalgam.

Few days ago Union Home Minister Amit Shah chaired a high-level security review meeting at Janmu and Kahsmir where he gave orders for the complete eradication of terrorism with special focus on the Jammu division. He also gave directions to ensure zero tolerance to infiltration.

More updates awaited
