United Nations:
The UN Secretary General, Antonio Guterres, has strongly condemned the “armed attack” in Pahalgam in Jammu and Kashmira, emphasizing that attacks against civilians are unacceptable under any circumstances.
“The Secretary General firmly condemns the armed attack in Jammu and Cashmiro on April 22, in which at least 28 people were killed,” said Stephane Durric, spokesman for the Secretary General.
Guterres offered his sincere condolence to the afflicted families of the victims. “The Secretary General emphasizes attacks against civilians are unacceptable under any circumstance,” Dujarric said.
The terrorists opened fire in a famous Prado near the city of Pahalgam de Cashmiro on Tuesday afternoon, killing 26 people, mostly tourists, in what is the most fatal attack in the valley from the pulwama strike in 2019.
The 26 victims of the attack included two foreigners, from EAU and Nepal, and two locals. The toll is still being determined, said Jammu and the prime minister of Kashmir, Omar Abdullah, describing the terrorist attack as “much larger than anything we have seen addressed to civilians in recent years.”
