April's terror attack triggered one of the worst military escalations in decades between India and Pakistan, which saw dozens of people killed in cross-border shelling as well as drone and missile attacks on both sides. The conflict began after India struck alleged militant hideouts in Pakistan on 7 May to avenge the killings.

India’s armed forces gunned down three suspected militants in a gunfight in the restive Kashmir region on Monday, while lawmakers debated the military conflict with neighboring Pakistan following a deadly terror attack.

Indian media reports claim the men were linked to the April 22 Pahalgam attack, but there is no official confirmation.
