At least one person was killed Friday in Indian-administered Kashmir, authorities said, marking the first militant attack in the disputed region since April 2025.
In April last year, gunmen killed 26 people, most of them Hindu tourists, in the resort town of Pahalgam.
The attack sparked an intense four-day conflict between nuclear-armed rivals India and Pakistan after New Delhi accused Islamabad of supporting the assailants, an allegation Pakistan denied.
"I spoke with top security officials following the brutal terrorist attack in which a laborer from Chhattisgarh was killed," Manoj Sinha, the region's top administrator, said on X.
Another laborer injured in the attack was rushed to a hospital.
