India has vowed to hunt down terrorists "to the ends of the earth" following a shooting in the Kashmir region that killed 26 people, mostly tourists. Prime Minister Narendra Modi stated that India will identify, track, and punish every terrorist and their handlers. The attack was blamed on a militant group, and while India did not publicly produce evidence linking it to Pakistan, it said the attack had "cross-border" links. Pakistan denied any connection and has since closed its airspace to Indian airlines and suspended trade with India. In response, India revoked visas for Pakistani nationals, cut diplomatic staff, and closed a land border crossing between the two countries. Tensions between the two nations have escalated as a result.

A militant gun attack in Indian-controlled Kashmir on April 22 killed at least 26 people, mostly Indian tourists, and injured three dozen others.

India and Pakistan have escalated tensions, with India announcing punitive measures against Pakistan, including revoking visas and suspending a water-sharing treaty. Pakistan responded with reciprocal measures, including cancelling visas and suspending trade with India. The UN has urged both sides to exercise restraint.

Pakistan's Defence Minister Khawaja Asif warned that a dispute over Kashmir could escalate into an "all-out war" with India, amid heightened tensions following a mass shooting that killed 26 tourists. Asif denied India's claim that Pakistan was behind the attack, suggesting it was a "false flag" operation. He stated that Pakistan would "respond in kind" to any Indian attack, and expressed hope that the issue could be resolved through negotiations, potentially with the help of US President Donald Trump. The Kashmir dispute has claimed tens of thousands of lives over the past three decades, and both India and Pakistan, nuclear-armed nations, claim the territory.
