NEW DELHI (Reuters) - At least 26 people died and 17 others were injured when suspected militants opened fire at a popular tourist spot in the Pahalgam region of India's Jammu and Kashmir territory this week. As security forces hunt for the perpetrators, here is a look at what happened, and how India has reacted.

The nuclear-armed rivals, which both claim Kashmir and administer separate parts of it, are at a dangerous crossroad after Tuesday’s militant attack, analysts said.

Following the Pahalgam attack, over 1,500 people have been detained in Kashmir Valley. The attack, which killed 26 people, is believed to have been carried out by Pakistani terrorist group TRF.
