Twenty-six people, mostly tourists, were killed in Tuesday’s Pahalgam terror attack that triggered widespread outrage within India and abroad.

India on Wednesday announced a raft of punitive measures against Pakistan including expulsion of Pakistani military attaches, suspension of the Indus Water Treaty of 1960 and immediate shutting down of the Attari land-transit post in view of cross-border links to the terror attack.

In its response to India’s actions, Pakistan on Thursday decided to shut its airspace to all Indian airlines and suspended trade with New Delhi including through third countries.

Pakistan also rejected India’s suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty and said any measures to stop the flow of water belonging to Pakistan under the pact will be seen as an “act of war”.
