Homes Of Militants Destroyed In Kashmir Following Deadly Pahalgam Attack That Killed 26 Tourists

Notebooks are at the site of a demolished house related to the family of Ahsan Ul Haq Sheikh, a militant who officials say is involved in the deadly attack on tourists in Pahalgam, in Murran village in Pulwama, south of Srinagar, Jammu And Kashmir, on April 26, 2025. The houses of two more militants are destroyed on April 25. At least 26 people are killed on April 22 when gunmen open fire on a group of tourists in Pahalgam, in what officials describe as the most serious civilian attack in the region in recent years. Tensions between India and Pakistan escalate, sparking fear and uncertainty across the region. The nuclear-armed rivals move closer to military confrontation after Islamabad closes its airspace to Indian aircraft and warns that any attempt by New Delhi to interfere with water supplies under a decades-old treaty would be considered an act of war. In response, India reiterates its accusations that Pakistan continues to support ''cross-border terrorism'' -- a claim that Islamabad denies. (Photo by Firdous Nazir/NurPhoto)
