Gunmen kill at least 26 in Indian-administered Kashmir: Police

Armed men opened fire on a group of tourists in Indian-administered Kashmir, killing at least 26 people, according to Indian police, in one of the deadliest attacks there in recent times.
Police said multiple tourists received gunshot wounds in the “terror attack” on Tuesday while they were visiting Baisaran meadow, some 5km (3 miles) from the disputed region’s resort town of Pahalgam.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is on an official visit to Saudi Arabia, decried the “heinous act”, pledging that the attackers “will be brought to justice”.
US President Donald Trump on Tuesday pledged his support for India.
“Deeply disturbing news out of Kashmir,” he said on social media. “The United States stands strong with India against Terrorism.”
Kashmir has been under an intensified military crackdown since its semi-autonomous status was revoked by the Indian government about six years ago.
