India and Pakistan have intensified their hostilities over the hotly contested Kashmir region following a massacre of 26 mostly Indian tourists, which New Delhi linked to Pakistan

India and Pakistan's reciprocal actions following the killing of 26 men by suspected militants at a tourist spot in Kashmir are set to further curtail trade, which has more than halved since 2018, trade analysts and exporters said.

A day after the U.N. appealed for restraint following Tuesday's deadly attack in Indian-administered Kashmir, India reported an exchange of fire across the de facto border in the disputed region.
