The infiltration attempt occurred just a day after a devastating terrorist attack in Pahalgam that claimed the lives of at least 28 tourists and injured many others. The Resistance Front, a group linked to the ISI-supported Lashkar-e-Taiba, took responsibility for the assault, which stands as the most severe since the revocation of Article 370 in 2019.

This incident coincided with US Vice President J.D. Vance's visit to India and Prime Minister Narendra Modi's diplomatic trip to Saudi Arabia. In light of the attack, PM Modi returned to Delhi on Wednesday morning, shortening his visit. Upon arrival at Palam Airport, he conducted a high-level meeting with External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar, National Security Advisor Ajit Doval, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri, and other senior officials.
