Pakistan says its is “fully prepared to cooperate with any neutral investigators” following Pahalgam attack. Indian and Pakistani troops exchanged gunfire for a second straight day after gunmen killed 26 people in Indian-administered Kashmir’s Pahalgam earlier this week, with India blaming Pakistan for the attack.

An attack on tourists in India's Himalayan territory of Kashmir this week sparked a new crisis between nuclear armed South Asian neighbours India and Pakistan, with New Delhi blaming militants with "cross-border linkages" for the killings.

Numerous raids have been conducted across the district, with the police, CRPF and Army increasing vigilance after the Pahalgam terror attack.
