India reiterates its commitment to dismantle a terror “ecosystem” in the wake of last year’s deadly attack in Indian-administered Kashmir. The remarks come about a year after an April 22 incident in Pahalgam that killed 26 people, including mostly Hindu tourists, as described by multiple outlets. The attack further strains relations between India and Pakistan, two nuclear-armed neighbours, whose ties deteriorate in the aftermath of major security incidents in the region. India frames the response in terms of targeting and disrupting networks that enable terrorism, rather than focusing only on the immediate perpetrators. Both India and Pakistan have repeatedly traded accusations related to militancy and cross-border support in past crises involving Kashmir. The current statements are made against this broader backdrop of heightened tensions and security concerns in the Kashmir region, where periodic attacks have fueled diplomatic and military friction.
