Let us remind you
On April 22, a massive attack on tourists took place in the Indian region of Jammu and Kashmir. As a result of the tragedy, 26 people died. The little-known militant group "Kashmiri Resistance" claimed responsibility for the attack and stated that the victims were not tourists, but undercover agents.
After that, the Indian authorities announced the suspension of issuing visas to Pakistani citizens.
And on April 24, shots rang out on the border of India and Pakistan. According to preliminary data, Indian border posts were fired upon by Pakistani troops. In response, India raised fighter jets and reconnaissance aircraft into the air. The US Embassy in India recommended its citizens to refrain from visiting Kashmir.
On the same day, explosions occurred in India in the homes of members of the Pakistani group "Lashkar-e-Taiba", who are likely involved in the attack in Kashmir.
Today, April 28, India stated that it has been responding to "unprovoked" shelling from Pakistan along the actual border for the fourth night in a row, so tensions between the two nuclear-armed states are increasing.
