The Associated Press has collected some of the first witness accounts of the massacre in Indian-controlled Kashmir that left 26 people dead.

An attack targeting Hindu tourists in Indian Kashmir that killed 26 men has triggered new tensions between India and Pakistan and sparked fears of a conflict, with Pakistan saying it has intelligence suggesting India intends to launch military action.

Tensions between the two nuclear-armed countries have spiked over the past week, following a deadly attack in the Indian-administered region of Kashmir, where 26 tourists were killed.
