The United States urged India and Pakistan to work together to "relieve tensions" after last week's deadly radical attack on Indian-managed Kashmir, killing 26 civilians.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio held separate talks with India's foreign minister and Pakistan's prime minister on Wednesday and called on them to "maintain peace and security in South Asia."

India accused Pakistan of supporting activists on a scenic meadow near the resort Pahalgam behind the April 22 attack. Islamabad refuses the charges.

On Wednesday, India also announced that all Pakistani aircraft in India were closed in space in a series of latest series of measures against Tats.

Indian Foreign Minister S Jaishankar wrote on X after talking by phone on X that the “perpetrators, supporters and planners” of the Pahargam attacks wrote on X.

Meanwhile, top US diplomats expressed the need to “condemn the terrorist attack” in talks with Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.

He urged Islamabad to cooperate to "investigate this unreasonable attack".

During the phone call, Sharif rejected a statement from his office “India attempts to connect Pakistan to the incident.” The Pakistani Prime Minister also urged the United States to "impress India's speech and act responsibly."

The information minister in Pakistan warned that they had “reliable intelligence”, suggesting that India could launch military operations against the country within the next 24-36 hours. Delhi has not yet publicly commented on these claims.

People responded to whether India would respond to Pakistan’s military strikes, just like deadly radical attacks in 2019 and 2016. Islamabad warns of retaliation if India takes military action on the other hand.

Amid rising tensions, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi held a back-to-back meeting with senior state and defense officials in Delhi this week.

On Wednesday, the Indian Cabinet Security Committee led by Modi met for the second time since the attack.

This is the second day after the Prime Minister met with India's top defense official, the armed forces freely decided on "time, goal and pattern" in response to the Pahalgam attack.

Over the past few days, troops from both sides have exchanged intermittent small arms fires on the border.

India "strongly opposed" Pakistan was faced with multiple ceasefires during a weekly call between senior army officials of the two countries, according to Indian news media reports.

A day later, India announced that it would not allow any Pakistani aircraft (commercial or military) to fly over its airspace in response to similar moves from Pakistan.

Last week, India suspended most visas to Pakistani nationals and required them to leave the country within a few days, with a deadline since then. It also suspended a key shared agreement with Pakistan.

Islamabad retaliated further through similar visa cancellations and passed a moratorium on peace treaty with Delhi in 1972.

Media reports say 786 Pakistani citizens have left India since the measures were announced and 1,465 Indians have returned from Pakistan.

Meanwhile, India’s narratives of many Pakistani film actors and celebrities have been blocked.

Searching for some celebrity accounts is now unavailable.

"This is because we comply with legal requests to limit this content," the Instagram notice reads.

India has not yet formally commented on why these accounts are offline. Media reports said that earlier this week, India also banned more than a dozen Pakistani news channels for the spread of so-called provocative content.

The entire claim of the Kashmiris as India and Pakistan are completely but only partially managed, and since their division in 1947, the two nuclear-weapon states have been flashpoints between the two nuclear-weapon states.

Since 1989, Indian-managed Kashmir has carried out armed insurgency under Indian rule, with militants targeting security forces and civilians.

India has not officially named any of its suspected attacks, but initially it was reported that a group called the "Resistance Front" was behind the attack. However, the group denied the statement issued after being involved a few days later. It is reportedly affiliated with Pakistan's radical group Lashkar-e-Taiba, which India classifies as a terrorist.

Indian police have appointed three of the four suspected attackers. They said two were Pakistani nationals, one from India who runs Kashmir. There is no information about the fourth person.

Many survivors say the gunmen are specifically targeting Hindus.

The attack, the deadliest attack on civilians in two decades on the disputed territory, has caused widespread anger throughout India.

Modi vowed to revenge the perpetrators.

In the days after last week's killing, Modi said that "India will identify, track and punish the people behind "in "in "in "in "in "in "in "in "in "in "in "in "in "in "in "," "in "in "," "in "in "," "in "in "," "in "in "," "in "in "," "in "in "," "in "in "," "in "in "," "in "in "," "in "in
