2005 Ram Janmabhoomi attack
The 2005 Ram Janmabhoomi attack refers to a coordinated terrorist assault that occurred on July 5, 2005, targeting the Ram Janmabhoomi complex in Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh, India. The attack was executed by armed militants affiliated with the Pakistan-based terrorist organization Lashkar-e-Taiba, aiming to undermine India's secular fabric and provoke communal tensions. Militants attempted to storm the site, which is considered sacred by Hindus as the birthplace of Lord Rama, resulting in intense gunfire and a subsequent encounter with security forces. The attack concluded with the death of all attackers, but not before resulting in the deaths of several individuals, including police personnel. The incident heightened security concerns across India and underscored the ongoing religious and political tensions surrounding the Ayodhya site.
