Following the US designation of The Resistance Front (TRF) as a Foreign Terrorist Organization after the Pahalgam massacre, China condemned the attack and advocated for increased regional counterterrorism cooperation.

Pakistan questioned the US designation of TRF as a terrorist organisation, citing an inconclusive investigation into the Pahalgam attack.

The TRF claimed responsibility for the attack on social media channels, but the NIA concluded during its investigation that all three attackers were Pakistani nationals.
