The United Nations has urged India and Pakistan to show "maximum restraint" following a deadly attack in Pahalgam, India-held Kashmir. The shooting, which killed 26 tourists and injured 17 others, has triggered a serious diplomatic standoff between the two nuclear-armed neighbours.

India's army chief will review security arrangements on Friday and visit the site of a deadly attack on tourists in Indian Kashmir earlier this week, an incident that has led to a fresh crisis with long-time rival and neighbour Pakistan.

The aftermath of the Pahalgam attack sees heightened tensions between India and Pakistan. India aims to prevent any water from flowing to Pakistan, briefs global envoys on the incident, and manages internal security concerns by evacuating tourists and addressing social media posts.
