India closes main border crossing with Pakistan after Kashmir attack

India has announced measures targeting Pakistan, a day after 26 people were killed by gunmen at a Himalayan tourist attraction in Indian-administered Kashmir.

They include the closure of the main border crossing linking the two countries, the suspension of a landmark water-sharing treaty, the expulsion of diplomats and an order for some Pakistani visa holders to leave within 48 hours.

Pakistani officials, who have denied the country’s role in the attack, are meeting on Thursday to come up with a response, its foreign minister said.

The attack in Pahalgam was one of the deadliest in recent memory for the restive region – and is threatening to aggravate already icy bilateral ties.
