Jammu Kashmir News Live: Tensions between India and Pakistan have escalated sharply following Tuesday's ghastly terrorist attack in Baisaran Valley near Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam, which claimed 26 lives, mostly tourists. The Centre, sharply reacting to the incident, has vowed to bring the perpetrators to justice, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi declaring that the killers would be pursued "to the ends of the earth." Tensions further ran high as Pakistan violated the ceasefire again along the Line of Control (LoC) on the nights of April 25 and 26, prompting retaliation by the Indian Army using small arms fire. This marks the second consecutive day of cross-border firing amid heightened tensions. The deadly attack in Pahalgam was claimed by The Resistance Front, a proxy linked to Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba. New Delhi quickly stepped up its retaliatory measures against Pakistan, including the suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty, closure of the Integrated Check Post at the Wagah-Attari border, and cancellation of visas for Pakistani nationals under the SAARC Visa Exemption Scheme. International reactions have poured in, with US President Donald Trump commenting that India and Pakistan will “figure it out one way or the other,” while acknowledging the historical depth of the Kashmir conflict. Meanwhile, the UK, along with the US, Canada, Australia, Russia, and India, has updated travel advisories, warning citizens against visiting areas within 10 kilometres of the India-Pakistan border, citing heightened risks and potential insurance invalidation.
