2024 Reasi attack
2024 ambush in Reasi, India
The 2024 Reasi attack was a terrorist attack that occurred on 9 June 2024 in the Reasi district of the Jammu division of Jammu and Kashmir, India. Several unidentified Islamist terrorists opened fire on a passenger bus transporting Hindu pilgrims from the Shiv Khori cave to Katra, causing it to lose control and plummet into a deep gorge, followed by further firing at the crashed bus by the gunmen. Nine people were killed in the attack, and an additional 41 were injured.
The Resistance Front (TRF) initially claimed responsibility for the ambush but later denied involvement, while the Jammu and Kashmir Police believes that the ambush was carried out by the Lashkar-e-Taiba, of which the TRF is considered an offshoot.
Background
The Jammu and Kashmir region, which both India and Pakistan claim fully but only exert partial administration, has been the pinpoint of a decades-long conflict between the two states. They have fought two wars over the territory since 1947. Since 1989, the conflict has devolved into an armed resistance against Indian control. India has claimed Pakistan of backing and harbouring the terrorists, which it denies.
Eight civilians were killed in the territory in the first five months of 2024. Terrorist attacks in the Poonch and Rajouri districts of Jammu division have risen over the past four years, with mainly security forces being targeted.
