India now claims all Kashmir attackers were Pakistani nationals
India makes fresh claim against Pakistan after Kashmir attack
- India's counterterrorism agency now claims all three gunmen involved in the April 22 Pahalgam massacre in Kashmir were Pakistani operatives of the Lashkar-e-Taiba, contradicting earlier police reports.
- This updated claim by the National Investigation Agency followed the arrest of two local Kashmiri men who allegedly harbored the attackers.
- The attack, which targeted predominantly Hindu tourists, was cited by New Delhi as justification for launching airstrikes in Pakistan.
- The airstrikes escalated into a four-day military confrontation, pushing the nuclear-armed nations to the brink of war and leading to the suspension of key treaties.
- US President Donald Trump claimed credit for brokering the subsequent truce, though Indian officials quietly downplayed the significance of his intervention.
