  • The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has taken over the investigation into the attack, which targeted tourists in a religiously motivated assault claimed by The Resistance Force, linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba.
  • India has implemented measures against Pakistan, including suspending the Indus Waters Treaty and engaging in military responses along the Line of Control.
  • Reports of communal reprisals have surfaced, with Kashmiri vendors in Mussoorie facing assaults and being forced to leave, prompting calls for protection of Kashmiris nationwide.
