Suspects in Kashmir Massacre Identified; India Closes Border, Cancels Visas for Pakistanis

HeadlineApr 24, 2025

Authorities in Indian-administered Kashmir say they’ve identified three suspects in Tuesday’s deadly assault on tourists in the resort town of Pahalgam, which killed 26 people and injured more than a dozen others, most of them Indian nationals. Two of the three suspects are Pakistani nationals. In the wake of the attack, India closed its main border with Pakistan and canceled visas for Pakistani visitors, ordering them to leave India within 48 hours. India also canceled a landmark water treaty with Pakistan and summoned Pakistan’s top diplomat to New Delhi amid growing tensions between the nuclear-armed neighbors.
