Indian troops exchanged fire with Pakistani soldiers along the tense Kashmir border, exacerbating existing tensions following a deadly attack on tourists earlier in the week. The attack left 26 dead, prompting India to accuse Pakistan of involvement, which Pakistan denies. In light of the situation, both countries took steps to enhance diplomatic friction, including visa cancellations and trade halts. The UN urged both India and Pakistan to exercise restraint and resolve their differences through dialogue to prevent further escalation.
According to Indian officials, the gunfight escalated tensions along the border in Kashmir just days after a deadly attack on tourists that India links to Pakistan.
The United Nations has called for restraint, stating that issues between the two countries can and should be resolved through peaceful, meaningful engagement.
