UN calls for tensions between India and Pakistan to be resolved peacefully as relations plunge to lowest level in years following deadly shooting
India’s army chief was set to lead a high-level security review in Srinagar in Indian-held Kashmir on Friday, days after militants opened fire on tourists in the disputed region, killing 26 civilians in one of the worst such attacks in years.
The brazen assault, carried out in a mountain meadow near Pahalgam, has derailed prime minister Narendra Modi’s claims of restored calm in the restive Himalayan territory and sent tensions soaring between nuclear-armed India and Pakistan.
