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.

Three militants responsible for a deadly attack on tourists in India-administered Kashmir earlier this year have been killed, a senior Indian official told lawmakers on Tuesday.
