Explainer: What is Happening Between India and Pakistan over Kashmir?

On April 22, gunmen in Pahalgam killed 26 vacationing tourists, a strike claimed by the Kashmir Resistance Front and blamed by India on Pakistan’s Lashkar-e-Taiba.

Indian Prime Minister Modi cut short foreign travel, closed the Attari-Wagah crossing, revoked Pakistani visas, expelled diplomats, and even suspended the key 1960 Indus Waters Treaty between the two nations.

Islamabad denied involvement, shut its border, halted trade, and test-fired an Abdali missile in a show of strength.

Both armies exchanged nightly fire along the Line of Control, while the UN, US, UK, and China urged restraint.
