Tensions rise as Pakistan downs an Indian drone
Tensions between the countries have escalated after an attack in Pahalgam, claimed by the Kashmir Resistance group.
This was one of the deadliest attacks in the region in recent years. At least four armed assailants opened fire on tourists in the Baisaran meadow, a place known as "mini Switzerland."
Pakistan also claims it shot down an Indian spy drone that appeared over the disputed border in the Kashmir region. On the other hand, India accuses Pakistan of supporting terrorist groups operating in Kashmir, which Pakistan strongly denies.
According to foreign media, including the "Economic Times," India is contemplating closing its airspace to Pakistani planes.
Both countries remain on high alert, and Indian security forces are carrying out operations in Kashmir to search for the perpetrators of the attack.
