Relations between India and Pakistan have declined sharply following a deadly militant attack on tourists in Indian-administered Kashmir last month. Pakistan has denied any involvement in the attacks. Indian police earlier claimed two of the attackers were Pakistani citizens.

India carried out precision strikes in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) early Wednesday, avenging the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack that took 26 lives, mostly of tourists. As many as 21 terror camps and training facilities across nine locations were hit.
