Seven Amaranth Yatra pilgrims including six women, one man were killed and 19 others were left injured after militants attacked an unescorted bus from Gujarat at Khanabal, Anantnag district on the Srinagar-Jammu highway on Monday evening.

The attack that occurred at around 8:20 PM flouted the security protocol by not getting itself registered with the Amarnath board says CRPF. The victims were travelling in the bus which was neither part of the escorted Yatra convoy nor registered with the Shri Amarnath Shrine Board (SASB).

The last known terror attack on the Amarnath Yatra was the killing of 30 persons, mostly pilgrims, in the base camp in Pahalgam in 2000.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, President Pranab Mukherjee along with a score of political parties and leaders have condemned the coward attack by the terrorists.
