Mission Pahalgam: Ajit Kumar Doval, India’s National Security Advisor and a veteran intelligence strategist, has stepped back into the spotlight after terrorists carried out a brutal attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, on April 22, 2025. The strike killed 26 people, mostly tourists, in Baisaran Valley, a region known for its beauty and calm.
