At least 26 people have been killed after gunmen opened fire on tourists in Indian-administered Kashmir.
Many more people near the resort town of Pahalgam have been taken to hospital with gunshot wounds.
Police blame separatist fighters for the largest attack targeting civilians in the area in recent years.
C Uday Bhaskar is a security analyst and retired commodore. He is also the director of the
Society for Policy Studies, that’s an independent think-tank based in New Delhi.
He says the gunmen had certain objectives, which they achieved with this attack.
