Following a deadly attack in Kashmir that killed 26 people, mostly tourists, Pakistan on Thursday canceled visas for Indian nationals, suspended trade with India (including via third countries), and closed its airspace to Indian-owned and operated airlines. The measures came in response to India’s earlier decision to revoke visas for Pakistani nationals, blaming Pakistan for the attack, which was claimed by a previously unknown group, Kashmir Resistance.
Although India has not publicly presented evidence, it cited "cross-border" links, prompting a diplomatic escalation. Relations further soured as India expelled Pakistani diplomats, recalled its own, and suspended the Indus Water Treaty, an agreement that has survived past wars.
The Indian government, facing domestic pressure, hinted at possible military action. Defense Minister Rajnath Singh and Prime Minister Narendra Modi both vowed to hold those responsible accountable. Modi also convened an all-party meeting and signaled a hardline approach to Pakistan.
Pakistan has denied any involvement and warned that any Indian military move would prompt a "tit-for-tat" response. Public outrage in Kashmir was evident through candlelight marches and protests, as fears of a new escalation between the nuclear-armed neighbors grew.
