On Saturday, the Pakistan Army announced the conduct of exercises for the launch of surface-to-surface missiles, at a time when India announced a ban on the import of goods from Islamabad or passing through its territory. These steps, as a result of which the Pakistani army conducted exercises with missiles, further strain diplomatic relations between the two nuclear powers following the attacks on tourists, resulting in the death of people in the Kashmir region, which remains an important point of contention.
The large-scale attack on tourists in the tourist region of Bhagalgan in Kashmir resulted in the death of at least 26 people. The Ministry of External Affairs of India stated in its notice that the ban will come into effect immediately. "This ban has been imposed in the interests of national security and public policy," the statement said.
