At least 26 tourists have died and multiple more have been injured after a mass shooting at a popular resort. The incident happened in Indian-controlled Kashmir on Tuesday.
Authorities have described it as a terrorist attack. Gunmen opened fire on tourists in protest to Indian occupation. "This attack is much larger than anything we've seen directed at civilians in recent years," Omar Abdullah, the region's top elected official, wrote on social media.
