Pakistan’s Defence Minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif told the New York Times on Friday (April 25, 2025) that an international investigation is needed into the killing of 26 men at Pahalgam in Jammu and Kashmir, and Pakistan is willing to work with international investigators.

Houses of three alleged active terrorists have been demolished by authorities in Jammu and Kashmir as part of the anti-terror crackdown post the deadly Pahalgam terror attack on Tuesday.

Signs of recovery started to show as both foreign and Indian tourists were spotted walking through the streets of Pahalgam, bringing back a sense of normalcy and hope to the area.
