Terrorist attack in Pakhalgam
On April 22, in the Pakhalgam region in the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir, armed people opened fire on tourists, as a result of which 26 people were killed. In addition, many people were injured.
After the attack, India Prime Minister Narendra Modi interrupted his official visit to Saudi Arabia and returned to New Delhi. Upon arrival in the capital of Modi, he held a meeting on security with the participation of senior officials to assess the situation.
The Indian authorities accused people who arrived from Pakistan of an attack. India suspended the “Indian waters” agreement, demanded that the Pakistani advisers working in New Delhi, leave the country for a week, and also canceled the visas issued to Pakistan citizens.
In turn, Pakistan rejected the accusations and reduced the number of diplomatic personnel of India in Islamabad.
Pakistan authorities said that any attempts by India to stop or change the direction of river flow in the Indus basin will be regarded as an act of war. The country also suspended all the trade with India and closed its airspace.
The Government of Pakistan also announced the suspension of all the visas issued to citizens of India.
In addition, the Islamabad authorities made it clear that they could suspend the Simlsky agreement signed after the 1971 war with India, which establishes the control line between countries.
