United States President Donald Trump expressed strong support for India following a deadly attack in the Himalayan region of Kashmir that left over 20 tourists dead. In a post on Truth Social on Tuesday, Trump conveyed condolences to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Indian people, calling the news from Kashmir "deeply disturbing."

"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," Trump wrote.

The attack took place in the town of Pahalgam, a popular tourist destination, where gunmen reportedly opened fire on a group of visitors. According to the Times of India, at least 26 people were killed during the assault. The identity of the attackers has not yet been confirmed.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi quickly responded to the tragedy on social media platform X, labeling the incident a "terror attack" and vowing that those responsible would be "brought to justice." He condemned the violence and reaffirmed India’s resolve in fighting terrorism within its borders.

The exchange of messages between the two leaders comes amid heightened global concern over rising instability in the Kashmir region. Trump's remarks reinforced the ongoing US-India strategic partnership, especially in the realm of counter-terrorism cooperation. The show of solidarity reflects the broader alignment between the two democracies under Trump’s current administration.

This latest incident highlights the persistent threat of terrorism in the region and the challenges facing both national and international efforts to maintain peace in South Asia. As investigations continue, global leaders and organizations are expected to monitor developments closely and respond accordingly.
