More than 20 killed after gunmen open fire on tourists in Indian-administered Kashmir

In Indian-administered Kashmir, gunmen opened fire on tourists at a popular resort, killing more than 20 people and leaving many others injured.

On Tuesday, local time, a group of at least four militants launched an attack on tourists near Pahalgam, a popular tourist destination in Kashmir.

According to Indian police, at least 26 tourists have been killed and three dozen people wounded.

Though no group has claimed responsibility for the attack, police attribute it to armed groups opposing Indian rule.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who was on an official visit to Saudi Arabia at the time, called the attack a "heinous act" and said those responsible would be brought to justice.

World leaders, including U.S. President Donald Trump and UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres also condemned the attack.

India and Pakistan administer parts of the disputed region of Kashmir but both claim the territory in its entirety.
