Tensions between India and Pakistan have lasted for a week after the deadly attack on Kashmir managed by India.
Indian authorities announced the closure of numerous tourist sites in the region, and the two countries have claimed on Tuesday since independence in 1947 that Pakistan said it was preparing for a punitive moratorium on New Delhi.
Meanwhile, along the Line of Control (LOC), the de facto border of 740 kilometers (460 miles) was exchanged, distinguishing Indian and Pakistani controls in Kashmir for the fifth consecutive night. Pakistan said it had destroyed a drone, fearing that nuclear power would escalate between bubbling.
The Indian-managed Kashmir government announced that it has closed 48 of 87 government-approved tourist destinations in the scenic Himalayas.
As tourists with panic disorder seek to exit early, no timetable for this measure was given.
tit
India accused Pakistan of providing funding in Muslim-majority Kashmir, Muslim-majority Kashmir, and encouraged "cross-border terrorism" in a shooting against Hindu tourists last week, with 26 people killed.
Islamabad denies any role and calls for a neutral investigation.
A series of tit-tat diplomatic measures have been subsequently taken, including the cancellation of visas and recall of diplomats.
India closed its borders with Pakistan and expelled Pakistani citizens. Pakistan announced border and airspace closures and threatened to abandon the 1972 Simla Agreement, which normalized relations to some extent between the two countries.
New Delhi also announced last week that it is suspending the Indian Waters Treaty, a 1960 agreement that supplies 80% of Pakistan's irrigated agriculture.
The allegations raised by India are part of unfounded negative publicity. India should focus on reforming its internal problems before blaming others. The treaty cannot be suspended unilaterally. All include the World Bank of Pakistan and the Permanent Arbitration Court... pic.twitter.com/bmbeumsjcq

Law and Justice Minister Aqeel Malik said on Tuesday that Pakistan plans to take legal action “in all available legal forums, including the World Bank and the Permanent Arbitration Court” to fight for India’s move.
He told Reuters News that Pakistan could also bring its case to the International Court of Justice for his alleged violation of the 1960 Vienna Legal Convention.
"Important" military invasion
Meanwhile, the fire lasted for the fifth consecutive night, along the LOC.
Indian troops said it had responded to “unreasonable” small arms fires in several Pakistani military posts around midnight. It provided no further details, and no casualties were reported.
Pakistan has not confirmed the exchange of fire, but state radio station Pakistan reported that the military shot down an unmanned Indian "Quadcopter" and claimed it violated its airspace.
The time of the incident has not been reported. India has not yet commented.
Pakistan's Defense Minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif told Reuters on Monday that his country is ready for a "imminent" military invasion of India.
