April's terror attack triggered one of the worst military escalations in decades between India and Pakistan, which saw dozens of people killed in cross-border shelling as well as drone and missile attacks on both sides. The conflict began after India struck alleged militant hideouts in Pakistan on 7 May to avenge the killings.

India has said its security forces killed three militants who shot dead 26 civilians near a tourist town in Indian-administered Kashmir in April, triggering a brief military conflict with Pakistan. Home Minister Amit Shah told parliament the men had been killed by Indian forces near the disputed region's main city Srinagar on Monday.
