On 23 April 2025, a diplomatic crisis erupted between India and Pakistan following the 2025 Pahalgam attack, an Islamic terrorist incident that occurred in the [[Baisaran Valley]] of [[Jammu and Kashmir (union territory)|Jammu and Kashmir]]. The attack resulted in the deaths of 26 Hindu tourists and one local civilian, with over 20 others injured. [[The Resistance Front]] (TRF), an offshoot of the Pakistan-based, UN-designated terrorist group [[Lashkar-e-Taiba]], claimed responsibility for the assault. In response, India accused Pakistan of facilitating cross-border terrorism.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20250425160533/https://www.aajtak.in/business/news/story/pahalgam-terror-attack-mukesh-ambani-offers-free-treatment-to-all-injured-victims-know-what-say-on-terrorist-tutd-dskc-2224991-2025-04-24</ref>

In light of these events, India began expelling Pakistani diplomats and withdrew its own diplomatic personnel. The Indian government also suspended visas, closed borders, and announced its withdrawal from the [[Indus Waters Treaty]]. Pakistan denied the allegations of supporting terrorism and retaliated with trade restrictions, the closure of airspace and border crossings, and the suspension of the [[Simla Agreement]].

Additionally, India’s [[Cabinet Committee on Security]] (CCS) strongly advised Indian citizens to refrain from traveling to Pakistan and urged those currently in the country to return as soon as possible. The situation marked a significant escalation in tensions between the two nations, further complicating their already strained relationship.
