The 2024 Reasi attack was a terrorist attack that occurred on 9 June 2024 in the Reasi district of the Jammu division of Jammu and Kashmir, India. Several unidentified Islamist militants opened fire on a passenger bus transporting Hindu pilgrims from the Shiv Khori cave to Katra, causing it to lose control and plummet into a deep gorge,[2] followed by further firing at the crashed bus by the gunmen.[3] Nine people were killed in the attack, and an additional 41 were injured.[4]
The Resistance Front (TRF) initially claimed responsibility for the ambush[5] but later denied involvement,[6] while the Jammu and Kashmir Police believes that the ambush was carried out by the Lashkar-e-Taiba, of which the TRF is considered an offshoot.[4]
