Kashmir Pahalgam Terror Attack LIVE Updates: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday chaired a high-level security meeting and granted the armed forces full operational freedom to decide the timing, mode, and targets of India’s retaliation amid onion tensions with Pakistan following the Pahalgam terror attack. Massive anti-terror operations and search efforts are currently underway in Jammu and Kashmir, even as Pakistan continues unprovoked firing along the border.
Meanwhile, India, in a tit-for-tat move, closed its airspace to all flights operated by Pakistan-based airlines days after the Pahalgam terror attack. Last week, Pakistan announced its decision to shut its airspace for Indian flights, reacting to the series of diplomatic measures New Delhi took against Islamabad.
In a major diplomatic setback to Pakistan, India in the wake of the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam, announced the suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty and closure of the Attari border.
25 tourists and a Kashmiri local were killed at Baisaran meadow in Pahalgam on April 22 by a group of terrorists. This was one of the most ghastly terror attacks in the Kashmir Valley since Article 370 was revoked.
