Reasi bus attack kills 10 Hindu pilgrims

Tragedy struck as suspected militants attacked a bus carrying Hindu pilgrims in Jammu and Kashmir, resulting in 10 deaths and 33 injuries. The bus driver lost control, causing the bus to plunge into a gorge in Reasi district. Despite rescue operations concluding, the Indian army and police are conducting a search operation to track down the attackers.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has ensured the best medical care for the injured, vowing to punish those responsible for the heinous act. The bus was en route to the base camp of Mata Vaishno Devi when it was fired upon, with no group claiming responsibility as of yet.

The region of Kashmir has long been a contentious issue between India and Pakistan, with ongoing tensions and sporadic violence. Previous incidents like the 2017 bus attack during the Amarnath pilgrimage highlight the fragile security situation in the region.

As the nation mourns the loss of lives in this latest attack, leaders like Amit Shah and Rahul Gandhi have condemned the violence and called for justice. The incident serves as a stark reminder of the challenges faced in maintaining peace and security in the region.
