Jammu & Kashmir | June 10: In a tragic incident on Sunday, terrorists brutally attacked a bus carrying pilgrims in Jammu and Kashmir’s Reasi district in which around 10 people were killed and 37 were injured.
Pakistan-based and backed, The Resistance Front (TRF) has claimed responsibility for the terror attack on a bus carrying the pilgrims.
In a message, the TRF warned India to increase the number of such attacks on ‘tourists and non-locals’ and called the Reasi attack only the ‘beginning of a renewed start’.
An advanced and massive search operation has been launched to find the involved terrorists in the crime. Meanwhile, amidst the attack, security has been strengthened in the area, with the Home Ministry informing that the National Investigation Agency (NIA) has been deployed to investigate into the matter.
The incident occurred when the bus was returning from Shiv Khori shrine to Katra, the base camp of Mata Vaishno Devi shrine. The terrorists were hiding in the nearby forest and they suddenly appeared with their ambushed vehicle and openly fired at the bus.
The driver of the bus was hit by a bullet and lost control of the vehicle, causing it to roll down the gorge. Both the bus and the conductor of the vehicle were killed in the attack.
