### India Intensifies Crackdown Following Fatal Kashmir Attack
Authorities respond to deadly terrorist attack with house demolitions and detentions.
Authorities in Indian-administered Kashmir have taken the controversial step of demolishing homes belonging to alleged militants following a deadly attack on tourists. This incident marked the worst civilian violence in the region in two decades, leading to the deaths of 26 individuals. The demolitions, reportedly targeting properties linked to families of suspected militants, were carried out using explosives since the attack occurred last Tuesday. Officials have publicly refrained from discussing the demolitions, yet the actions have sparked considerable debate among regional leaders. While some call for strong action against militancy, they urge caution to avoid impacting innocent civilians.
Indian security forces have responded vigorously to the Pahalgam attack, which they attribute to militants supported by Pakistan, although no group has been officially blamed. The situation has heightened tensions between India and Pakistan, leading to cross-border firings and diplomatic expulsions. Prime Minister Narendra Modi vowed to track down the attackers, as responses from both nations have escalated, including the suspension of key treaties. International calls for restraint have been made in the midst of rising hostilities.
As investigations progress, Indian authorities have detained over 1,500 individuals for questioning, with police identifying three suspects connected to the attack, including two Pakistani nationals. Speculation continues about India's potential military actions against Pakistan, echoing previous conflicts stemming from the ongoing territorial dispute, exacerbated by the long-standing armed insurgency in the region.
