Summary

In Kashmir, Indian authorities have detained 1,500 people after an attack that killed 26 civilians last week, destroying homes linked to suspected militants. The attack has drawn criticism from Pakistan, which accused the responsible group of receiving support from the Pakistani military, escalating tensions between India and Pakistan over control of the region. In response, India is restricting movement in parts of the territory it controls and suspending visa issuances for Pakistani citizens.
