The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has expressed their condolences to the bereaved families.
The statement adds that such incidents undermine the efforts to ensure regional security and stability.
It is to note that while the Taliban have expressed solidarity with the victim families and condemned the attack, the overall reponse from the Pakistan government was to deflect blame and claim ‘internal security problems’ of India are behind the attack.
On 22 April, multiple terrorists armed with assault rifles ambushed tourists in Baisaran valley, a popular picnic spot in Pahalgam. Hindu men were identified and shot dead before their wives and children.
