India-Pakistan Border Tensions Rise Following Pahalgam Attack

Indian tourists take boat rides on the waters of Dal Lake in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, on May 6, 2025. The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) of India orders civil defense mock drills across the country on May 7, as tensions between India and Pakistan escalate following the Pahalgam terror attack that kills 26 tourists. On April 22, gunmen open fire on a group of tourists in the popular destination of Pahalgam, Kashmir. In the aftermath of the attack, the nuclear-armed rivals exchange gunfire for 12 consecutive nights across their heavily militarized de facto border in the Kashmir region. The ongoing escalation sparks widespread fear and uncertainty. In late April 2025, shortly after the attack, India's Foreign Secretary announces that the Indus Waters Treaty of 1960 is held ''in abeyance with immediate effect,'' stating that the treaty remains suspended ''until Pakistan credibly and irrevocably abjures its support for cross-border terrorism.''
