An Indian paramilitary soldier patrols along a road on the outskirts of Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, on November 11, 2025. Security is placed on high alert across the Kashmir Valley following a deadly explosion near the historic Red Fort in Old Delhi, where at least twelve people are killed. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, on November 11, calls a deadly car explosion near the historic Red Fort in the heart of the capital that kills at least eight people a ''conspiracy,'' vowing those responsible will face justice. Meanwhile, investigators identify Dr. Umar Nabi as the prime suspect seen in the Hyundai i20 that explodes near the historic Red Fort in Old Delhi. The blast occurs just hours after Indian police announce the arrest of another Kashmiri doctor, Muzammil Shakeel, in Faridabad, Haryana, on charges of plotting a terrorist attack. However, authorities have not yet confirmed any link between Shakeel and Monday's explosion.

An Indian paramilitary soldier patrols along a road in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, on May 01, 2025. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi gives the military ''complete operational freedom'' to respond after a deadly attack on tourists in the Kashmir Valley on April 22, which kills 26 tourists. The attack takes place in the popular tourist destination of Pahalgam, where gunmen open fire on a group of tourists. Regional authorities call it the most serious attack on civilians in recent years. Since the incident, security tightens across Kashmir Valley. India and Pakistan exchange fire daily along the Line of Control (LoC), which separates the two sides of Kashmir. Tensions between the two nuclear-armed neighbors escalate, sparking fear and uncertainty in the region. Pakistan closes its airspace to Indian aircraft and warns that any Indian interference 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 Pakistan denies.

Indian paramilitary soldiers patrol along a road in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, on April 29, 2025. Following the April 22, 2025, attack on tourists in Baisaran, Pahalgam, which kills 26 people and injures several others, the government orders the closure of 48 tourist locations, including popular destinations, hotels, restaurants, and mosques across Kashmir. The Pahalgam attack leads to the cancellation of nearly 80% of tourist bookings in the valley, delivering a severe blow to the tourism sector, which contributes significantly to the region's GDP. This setback comes at a time when the region witnesses back-to-back tourism booms and hopes for a bumper tourist season this year as well.
