The Indian military says Pakistani soldiers fired at Indian posts all along the highly militarized frontier in disputed Kashmir as tensions flare over attack on tourists.

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.

Jammu and Kashmir Minister Sakina Itoo has taken proactive steps by meeting with Punjab Governor Gulab Chand Kataria to ensure the safety and security of J&K residents in Punjab and Chandigarh. This move comes after reports of harassment against Kashmiri students and businesspeople following the Pahalgam terror attack.
