India's anti-terrorism agency, the National Investigation Agency (NIA), has charged two Pakistan-based militant groups and six people in the attack on tourists in Indian-administered Kashmir this April, that left 26 people dead.

The massacre in the tourist town of Pahalgam brought nuclear-armed India and Pakistan to the brink of war. India blamed Pakistan for the attacks – an accusation Islamabad denied.

Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) - designated as a terror organisation by the United Nations - and The Resistance Front (TRF) have been charged with "planning, facilitating and executing" the attack.

Pakistan's government has not yet commented on the charges.

The TRF had initially said it was behind the attack but later denied its involvement.
