India and Pakistan cancelled visas for their nationals to each other’s countries on Thursday amid rising tensions between the two nuclear-armed neighbors after India blamed Pakistan for a deadly attack by gunmen that killed 26 people, mostly tourists, in disputed Kashmir.
Indian authorities said all visas issued to Pakistani nationals will be revoked with effect from Sunday, adding that all Pakistanis currently in India must leave before their visas expire based on the revised timeline. The country also announced other measures, including cutting the number of diplomatic staff and closing the only functional land border crossing between the countries.
In return, Pakistan closed its airspace for all Indian-owned or Indian-operated airlines and suspended all trade with India, including with and from any third country.
