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 United Nations has urged India and Pakistan to exercise “maximum restraint” after they ramped up a tit-for-tat diplomatic offensive following a deadly attack on tourists in Indian-controlled Kashmir.

After the cowardly terrorist attack in Pahalgam that claimed the lives of 26 innocent Indian citizens, India has initiated strong retaliatory action. The Indian security forces are targeting those directly involved in the planning and execution of the attack.
