Security increases in Indian Kashmir after 26 tourists are killed on April 22, when gunmen open fire on a group of tourists in the popular destination of Pahalgam, an incident regional authorities describe as the most serious attack on civilians in recent years. India and Pakistan exchange fire daily along the Line of Control (LoC), which separates the two sides of Kashmir. Tensions between the two nuclear-armed neighbors escalate, sparking fear and uncertainty in the region. Pakistan closes its airspace to Indian aircraft and warns that any Indian interference with water supplies under a decades-old treaty is considered an act of war. In response, India reiterates its accusations that Pakistan continues to support ''cross-border terrorism,'' a claim Pakistan denies.
