Authorities have described the attack as targeted and intended to spread terror among the tourists visiting Kashmir. “Usha and I extend our condolences to the victims of the devastating terrorist attack in Pahalgam, India,” he wrote . The Baisaran area attracts tens of thousands of Indian tourists daily, especially during the summer months, when temperatures in mainland India soar.
