The attack on April 22, 2025, in the Baisaran Valley of Pahalgam was among the deadliest civilian-targeted incidents in Jammu and Kashmir in recent years.
Within two weeks of the attack, the Indian Armed Forces launched Operation Sindoor on May 7, 2025, carrying out precision missile and air strikes targeting nine terror launchpads and infrastructure facilities in Pakistan-administered territory.
