    Kashmir tourist attack stokes long-held tensions between India and Pakistan amid fears of military escalation

    Cliff Notes

    • The recent militant gun attack in Pahalgam, Kashmir, which killed 26 tourists, has heightened tensions between India and Pakistan, both of which are nuclear-armed neighbours with a history of conflict.
    • India has accused Pakistan of supporting militant groups responsible for the attacks, while Pakistan claims to advocate for the self-determination of Kashmiris, leading to escalated diplomatic and military responses from both sides.
    • The situation has prompted India to revoke visas, close a border crossing, and suspend the Indus Water Treaty, which Pakistan has warned could be perceived as an act of war, raising fears of potential military escalation.

    It’s a crime scene that could have global consequences and Modi is a disciple of Netanyahu and he is gunning for war.

    Two nuclear-armed neighbours with decades of hostility and mistrust are threatening each other again after a militant gun attack in disputed Kashmir.

    The Indian media is all out gunning for blood, trending the hashtag #wewantrevenge.

    India and Pakistan have fought several wars and skirmishes since their independence from Britain in 1947.

    The latest flashpoint is Tuesday’s murder of tourists who were enjoying holidays in a meadow in Pahalgam, known as mini-Switzerland.

    A group of militants opened fire, killing 26 men and injuring dozens more.

    India has accused Pakistan of harbouring, arming and sheltering militant organisations whose members infiltrate the almost 500-mile border in Kashmir and attack the state.

    Pakistan denies the accusation and says it only supports Kashmiris’ right to self-determination.

    Leaders of both countries have turned up the heat, with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi telling a rally in the east Indian state of Bihar that his government will “identify, track and punish every terrorist and their backers. We will pursue them to the ends of the earth”.

    “Terrorism will not go unpunished. Every effort will be made to ensure that justice is done.”
