The attack, which occurred on Tuesday afternoon, saw armed militants open fire on unsuspecting tourists enjoying a peaceful outing in the scenic Baisaran Meadows.
According to reports, around 27 people lost their lives. Eyewitnesses claimed that the attackers were dressed in military-style uniforms and began firing indiscriminately.
The Resistance Front (TRF), an offshoot of the Pakistan-backed Lashkar-e-Taiba, has claimed responsibility for the massacre.
Massive Security Response Underway
Security personnel quickly moved in to cordon off the area and launched an extensive counter-terror operation to track down those involved.
Disturbing videos circulating online revealed the aftermath—bodies strewn on the grass, chaos, and women crying out for their missing family members.
