The aftermath of yesterday's Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 tourists dominated the news cycle. Prime Minister Modi cut short his Saudi Arabia visit and returned to Delhi, immediately holding meetings with NSA Doval and other security officials.
Home Minister Amit Shah visited the attack site, while sketches and photos of suspected terrorists were released, showing they belonged to The Resistance Front, a Lashkar-e-Taiba affiliate. Security forces engaged in gunfights with terrorists in Kulgam, where a top TRF commander was reportedly trapped.
By evening, following a 2.5-hour Cabinet Committee on Security meeting, India announced five significant diplomatic measures against Pakistan: suspending the 1960 Indus Waters Treaty, declaring Pakistani military attachés persona non grata, revoking visas for Pakistani nationals with a 48-hour departure ultimatum, closing the Attari-Wagah border, and offering a ₹20 lakh reward for information about the terrorists.
