On April 22, gunmen from the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba offshoot, The Resistance Front (TRF), ambushed a group of tourists in a mountain meadow near Pahalgam in Jammu and Kashmir—mostly killing Hindu pilgrims and vacationers. Assailants fired on unarmed men, women and children inuring around 20 others.

India fired missiles into Pakistani-controlled territory in several locations early Wednesday, killing a child and wounding two other people, Pakistani authorities said.
