  TRF attacks have particularly targeted religious minorities in Jammu and Kashmir including Kashmiri Pandits, Hindus and Sikhs. In these attacks on civilians, LeT and HM did not claim responsibility, only the TRF did. TRF has been accused by the Indian government of links to various activities, including planning attacks on security forces and civilians, coordinating the transportation of weapons for proscribed militant groups, recruitment of militants, infiltration across borders, and smuggling of weapons and narcotics.
  
  TRF has been active in recruitment, making it a prominent militant group in Jammu and Kashmir. The TRF has claimed responsibility for several attacks in Jammu and Kashmir against Indian forces and it has made use of social media videos and posters to spread its views.
  
  Notably, TRF claimed responsibility for an attack on security officers in the Anantnag district using the guerilla warfare strategy, citing it as an "act of revenge" for the killing of their leader, commander Riyaz Ahmed, in Pakistan-administered Kashmir.
  
  The Resistance Front initially took responsibility for the 2025 Pahalgam attack on tourists in Kashmir, marking the deadliest such incident in India since the 2008 Mumbai attacks. In response, Pakistan's Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, Ishaq Dar, intensified tensions by saying that the assailants "might be freedom fighters."
