Pahalgam Terror Attack Highlights: As protests and candlelight marches continue across India following the Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 people, firing was reported from the Pakistani posts across the Line of Control.
The houses of two Lashkar terrorists involved in Tuesday’s attack were destroyed overnight. This comes after Prime Minister Narendra Modi vowed to hunt down the gunmen responsible for killing 26 civilians at the scenic Baisaran meadow in Pahalgam. “India will identify, track and punish every terrorist and their backer,” Modi said. “We will pursue them to the ends of the Earth.”
The Centre had announced strong counter-measures against Pakistan, including the suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty.
Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif convened a rare meeting of the National Security Committee with top military officials, including army chief Asim Munir. He warned any attempt by India to stop the supply of water from the Indus River would be an “act of war.”
Army chief General Upendra Dwivedi visited the Baisaran picnic spot where the attack took place. General Dwivedi also met Jammu and Kashmir Lt Governor to review the security scenario in the Union Territory.
