Brussels, Belgium:
EU chief Ursula von der Leyen on Tuesday condemned the killing of at least 26 people by gunmen in Kashmir as a “vile terror attack” but said India’s “spirit is unbreakable”.
“The vile terror attack in Pahalgam today stole so many innocent lives,” she said in a condolence message on X to India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi. “Yet I know that India’s spirit is unbreakable. You will stand strong in this ordeal. And Europe will stand with you,” the European Commission president added.
