New details regarding the attackers’ premeditated plan emerged a day after the unprecedented massacre of 26 civilians in Baisaran Valley, Kashmir. The attackers appeared to exploit the valley’s public reception before unleashing one of the worst civilian massacres in recent years, and took full advantage of the region’s remoteness and lack of security infrastructure as they masqueraded in military clothes.  

Uniformed Entry – Routine Drills To Execution

A perfunctory call to violence left so many dead in point blanking shootings, survivors reported that every victim of the massacre was implored to serve a mock purpose during their pretend drills, referred to as exercises. Ex-soldiers and tourists reported the lack of identity checks and physical verification leads to the self execution of the Kalma — an Islamic declaration of faith — right before their eyes. These unending testimonies continue to amplify the already boiling rage both in India and across the globe.

Why Baisaran Was Specifically Picked To Going Baisaran.

Baisaran is approximately 6.5 kilometers from Pahalgam town and can only be reached by foot or pony rides which makes it an isolated place. The uncovered road choices just as timberland surroundings made it an ideal installment target for such an attack. Investigating agencies believe terrorists chose this region in order to restrict access which could allow for immediate security response and enable escape into the woods before responders would be able to intervene.

Local Legends Helped Treat Injuries

Many local shops and pony handlers stepped up and acted as first responders to attitude issues. Many acted quickly and ordered the injured sustained back to Pahalgam on ponies. These merchants alongside storefronts enabled many to later survive due to their actions. The attackers had likely fled the scene before police forces reached the area as there was lots of underbrush to hide in.

International and Local Hate

The horrific attack has garnered backlash from many officials in India and the world. The magnitude and violence during the assault which solely focused on innocent people has made many astonished across the country. Security is now heightening patrols in the other parts if the forest while several other agencies work to figure the structure out along with the strategies used to set the ambush.
