'I'm alive but three in my group didn't make it' - Kashmir attack survivor

Tourists who were in Indian-administered Kashmir when deadly attacks took place are now returning to their homes.

Describing the moment the violence broke out, one person said the gunfire had been mistaken for "tigers being hunted". He survived but said three others in his group did not.

The attack saw a group of gunmen fire on tourists near Pahalgam, a resort in the disputed Himalayan region, leading to the deaths of 26 tourists.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said India will punish "every terrorist and their backers" for the attack.
