Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday, September 11, 2026, paid tribute to the victims of the September 11, 2001 terror attacks in the United States, marking 25 years since the tragedy. In a post on social media platform X, Modi said terrorism has claimed countless lives worldwide and that India, as a victim of cross-border terrorism, has been at the forefront of the fight against it for several decades.

The Prime Minister noted that while the nature of terror threats continues to evolve, India's resolve and opposition to terrorism in all its forms remain steadfast. "We stand in solidarity with all efforts to combat this scourge," he stated.

Modi said that a quarter-century after the attacks, India remembers and honors the victims and stands with the families whose lives were forever altered that day. He also shared photographs from his 2014 visit to the 9/11 Memorial and Museum in New York.

The September 11, 2001 attacks involved terrorists hijacking four commercial airliners. Three of the planes were flown into the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York, while the fourth crashed in a rural area of Pennsylvania. The coordinated attacks killed 2,976 people and left thousands more injured.
