The US Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) has asked India to stop punishing Kashmiri Muslims after the Pahalgam attack. The Commission condemned the violence but warned against revenge actions targeting a specific community.

There was a face-off between Indian diaspora groups who gathered to protest Pakistan-backed terrorism in the wake of the Pahalgam terrorist attack and counter-protesters outside the Pakistan High Commission in London, which saw scenes of a Pakistani diplomatic official making threatening gestures.

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.
