Security tightened in Kashmir following militant attack - 05/04/2025

Indian forces are standing guard on a street in Srinagar. Tensions between India and Pakistan are intensifying following a militant attack in Pahalgam, Kashmir, on April 22, 2025, that left 26 dead and is reportedly linked to Pakistan. In retaliation, India is enacting strong measures, including banning Pakistani ships, suspending the Indus Water Treaty, halting all imports, and cancelling visas for Pakistani nationals. With hostility mounting, the threat of a limited conflict is looming, drawing attention to how neighboring countries like China, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Maldives, and Bhutan might respond.
