In the aftermath of a devastating terror attack that killed 26 tourists in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, US President Donald Trump voiced his full support for India and condemned the assault in the strongest terms. The attack, which targeted civilians in the scenic hill station approximately 90 kilometers from Srinagar, has sent shockwaves through both India and the international community.

“Deeply disturbing news out of Kashmir,” President Trump posted on Truth Social late Tuesday. “The United States stands strong with India against terrorism. We pray for the souls of those lost, and for the recovery of the injured. Prime Minister Modi, and the incredible people of India, have our full support and deepest sympathies. Our hearts are with you all.”

This message of solidarity came just hours after the attack, marking one of the deadliest assaults on civilians in Kashmir in recent years. The gunmen, whose identities have yet to be officially confirmed, opened fire on a group of visiting tourists, killing 26 and injuring several more. Investigations are ongoing, and security across the region has been tightened in the wake of the violence.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi condemned the act as a “heinous attack” and assured the public that justice would be delivered. “This is a direct assault on peace and the spirit of India,” Modi stated. “The perpetrators of this terror will be brought to justice. We will not rest until those behind this barbarism are held accountable.”
