The United Nations
Secretary-General António Guterres has strongly condemned the armed attack in Jammu and Kashmir that claimed at least 28 lives earlier on Tuesday.
UN Spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric, responding to inquiries, emphasized the Secretary-General's condemnation of the attack.
Media reports indicate that a gunman opened fire on a group of people near Pahalgam, in the region's south, leaving more than two dozen dead.
Mr. Guterres extends his heartfelt condolences to the bereaved families, said Mr. Dujarric, underscoring "that attacks against civilians are unacceptable under any circumstances."
Jammu and Kashmir has been disputed by India and Pakistan, since the end of British rule in the late 1940s.
