What curbs have India and Pakistan imposed on each other after the Kashmir attack?
NEW DELHI, May 6 (Reuters) - Nuclear-armed neighbours India and Pakistan have announced a raft of measures against each other as tensions mount after 26 men were killed in an attack targeting Hindu tourists in Kashmir last month.
Here is a look at the tit-for-tat punitive steps announced by the South Asian nations amid mutual finger-pointing in the latest crisis:
India and Pakistan have shut their only open land border and closed their airspace to each other's airlines.
They have also barred all ships bearing the other's flag from visiting their ports, and said that their own ships will no longer visit the other's ports.
New Delhi also cancelled almost all visas issued to Pakistanis and set a deadline for them to return to Pakistan.
TRADE
Pakistan has paused bilateral agreements and suspended all trade with India, which has also banned the import of goods coming from or transiting via Pakistan.
WATER
India has suspended the 1960 Indus Waters Treaty which regulated sharing of water of the Indus river system between the countries.
Pakistan, which is heavily dependent on the water for its hydropower and irrigation, has said any attempt to stop or divert its flow will be considered an "act of war".
DIPLOMACY
Both countries have declared each other's defence advisers in missions in New Delhi and Islamabad persona non grata, and reduced the strength of their embassies.
POSTAL SERVICE
India has suspended exchange of all categories of inbound mail and parcels from Pakistan through air and surface routes.
LOANS
India has asked the International Monetary Fund to review its loans to Pakistan, whose recent borrowings from the global lender include a $7 billion loan secured in September, followed by a $1.3 billion climate resilience loan in March.
SOCIAL MEDIA
India has banned 16 Pakistani YouTube channels, including those of media outlets such as Dawn News as well as channels of sportspersons such as former cricketer Shoaib Akhtar.
It has also blocked social media accounts of some popular Pakistani personalities, including actor Fawad Khan, whose Instagram account has been blocked, and former Prime Minister Imran Khan, whose X account is no longer visible in India.
SPORTS
India's Olympic javelin medallist Neeraj Chopra has rescinded his invitation to Pakistani rival Arshad Nadeem to attend his meet in Bengaluru this month, saying it was "completely out of the question" after the Kashmir attack.
He had earlier invited Paris Olympics champion Nadeem to the meet - titled Neeraj Chopra Classic - which will bring the world's top throwers together from May 24.

Richard Tice in row with Laura Kuenssberg over Anas Sarwar comments
The deputy leader of Reform UK doubled down on his party's recent attack advert against Scottish Labour, which has been widely condemned as "racist", during the BBC's Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg programme. The political advert, which was seen by more than one million people on Facebook, falsely claimed that Sarwar would 'prioritise the Pakistani community'. READ MORE: Scottish Government urges Chancellor to drop 'damaging' cuts ahead of spending review The ad includes selected clips from a video spread by far and alt-right agitators on social media in a bid to claim that Europe was under threat from 'multiculturalism' and mass immigration, specifically of Muslims. While it has been branded "racist" by both the SNP and Scottish Labour, Farage doubled down and went on to tell a press conference in London that Sarwar had "introduced sectarianism into Scottish politics". During the programme on Sunday, Kuenssberg asked Tice about his party leader's comments, saying: "Your leader Nigel Farage claimed that the Muslim Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar had said that he would prioritise the Pakistani community. "He did not use those words. Was Nigel Farage's claim false?" Tice refused to be drawn on whether the claim was false, as he said: "No, look, what we would talk about was that actually, the Labour leader in Scotland was essentially sort of developing sectarian politics, and we called that out. "We had the Scottish by-election and we came within 750 people of winning it. "So the ridiculous claims made by the other main politicians in Scotland about us, frankly, the voters have just ignored, and we came within a whisker of an absolute shock, a seismic shock. Richard Tice "We got 26%, it was a three-way marginal, and I think Scottish politics is changing." Reform UK came third in Thursday's Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse by-election, with their candidate Ross Lambie winning 7088 votes. The party won 26.2% of the vote share but were 1471 votes away from beating Scottish Labour's Davy Russell, not 750 votes as Tice – who was at the count – claimed on Sunday. Tice went on: "We had a very simple slogan that seemed to work. 'Drill, Scotland, drill'. The oil and gas industry generates huge prosperity for Scotland, for the United Kingdom, and we should be embracing it and enhancing it, not shutting it down, which the Labour Government has essentially followed what the Tories did before with the ridiculous windfall tax." Kuenssberg returned to Farage's claims about the Scottish Labour leader, as she asked: "Do you not think it's important to say things that are true in politics? "Mr Farage claimed that Anas Sarwar had used words that he simply did not. He made a false claim on a sensitive issue. Was he wrong to do that?" Tice then doubled down on his party's claims about Sarwar bringing in sectarianism into Scottish politics. "No, look, it is sensitive, you're right," he said. "But was it right for Mr Sarwar to claim that Pakistanis and the South Asian community should, for example, dominate and dictate the Scottish educational agenda?" READ MORE: The Supreme Court's sex ruling faces legal challenges – will they succeed? Kuenssberg interrupted: "My question to you is whether or not it was right for Mr Farage to make a false claim about words Anas Sarwar did not use?" Tice said: "Well, you can interpret. I think in the overall context it was not a false claim. "It was what Mr Sarwar was doing, which was bringing sectarian politics into Scottish politics. And that is wrong, that's not how we do things." First Minister John Swinney said at the time that Farage had "brought racism and hatred" into the by-election campaign, as the SNP submitted a formal complaint to Meta, Facebook's parent company. Meanwhile, Sarwar branded Farage a "poisonous man who doesn't understand Scotland". Scottish Labour have been contacted for comment.

Putin plotting to blitz Ukraine with ‘vicious & unrelenting' revenge strike in days after Op Spiderweb, US insiders warn
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) VLADIMIR Putin is preparing a "huge, vicious and unrelenting" revenge assault on Ukraine just days after Operation Spiderweb, U.S. and Western officials have warned. Insiders said the Kremlin's full-scale retaliation for last week's stunning drone blitz on four key Russian airbases hasn't yet materialized - but it is coming very soon. 12 Western officials have warned that Vladimir Putin is plotting a major revenge assault on Ukraine Credit: AFP 12 Fire and smoke rise from the site where a Russian missile struck a residential area in Kharkiv on Saturday Credit: AP 12 Officials say the strikes could also aim symbolic Ukrainian targets 12 Footage of Operation Spiderweb showed Russian planes left burning on the runway The revenge strike will be "asymmetrical" and likely to feature a mix of drones and missiles aimed at symbolic Ukrainian targets - not just military assets, one U.S. official told Reuters. Another said the operation could begin within days. A senior Western diplomat added: "It will be huge, vicious and unrelenting. "But the Ukrainians are brave people." On Friday, Russia unleashed a fierce missile and drone barrage on Kyiv, killing at least six and injuring over 80, but American officials say this may only be the beginning. Russia's Defense Ministry called it a response to "terrorist acts" by Ukraine - but insiders say the real retaliation is still being assembled behind the scenes. U.S. officials believe the SBU — Ukraine's security service — may be directly targeted in the revenge strike. Carnegie Endowment analyst Michael Kofman told Reuters: "Most likely, they will attempt to retaliate against (SBU) headquarters, or other regional intelligence administration buildings. "In general, Russia's ability to substantially escalate strikes from what they are already doing — and attempting to do over the past month — is quite constrained." Putin plotting 'final killer offensive' to WIN Ukraine war despite Russian losses nearing 1 MILLION 12 PUTIN'S $7bn HUMILIATION The looming storm follows Operation Spiderweb - Ukraine's most daring covert strike yet. It was led personally by spy chief Vasyl Malyuk under the direct orders of President Volodymyr Zelensky. Over 117 kamikaze drones were launched from hidden mobile units disguised as everyday cargo trucks, slipped undetected into Russian territory. New footage released on Saturday by Ukraine's SBU shows an FPV drone lifting off from a lorry rooftop before smashing directly into a Russian bomber at the Belaya airfield. The strikes hit four strategic bases - Belaya, Dyagilevo, Olenya, and Ivanovo — torching aircraft capable of launching nuclear warheads. Ukrainian officials say 41 planes were destroyed or damaged. U.S. intelligence puts the figure closer to 20, with at least 10 completely destroyed - still a staggering blow to Russia's long-range bomber fleet. The $7billion damage, inflicted with zero boots on the ground, has left the Kremlin tyrant furious and determined to reassert its military dominance. 12 The SBU released new footage of the covert operation on Saturday Credit: Twitter 12 It showed a drone lifting off from what appears to be a transport vehicle before targeting Putin's bomber planes 'IT'S NOT GOING TO BE PRETTY' President Donald Trump revealed this week that he spoke directly with Putin on Wednesday. In a post on Truth Social, Trump said the Russian despot told him "he will have to respond" to the drone attack. Speaking to reporters later, Trump added: "It's probably not going to be pretty. I don't like it. "I said: 'Don't do it. You shouldn't do it. You should stop it.' "But, again, there's a lot of hatred." Meanwhile, Russia's propaganda machine is framing the war as existential. Putin spokesman Dmitry Peskov declared Friday: "This is about the future of our children, of our country." 12 A view of destruction following the two-hour Russian attack on Kharkiv on Saturday Credit: Getty 12 A man stands amid rubble in destroyed house at residential district after Russian shelling in Kharkiv Credit: Getty BLITZ ALREADY UNDERWAY? While officials say the major strike is still to come, Ukraine is already reeling from a brutal few days of missile and drone attacks. On Friday, 400 drones and 45 missiles rained down on cities across the country. In Kyiv, explosions lit up the night sky near the Mother Ukraine monument. A fire tore through the 11th floor of a residential block in Solomyanskyi, and emergency crews rushed to save civilians trapped inside. Overnight into Saturday, Kharkiv suffered Russia's largest airstrike yet, killing three - including a baby and a 14-year-old girl - and wounding 21. 'We have a lot of damage,' Kharkiv's mayor Ihor Terekhov said. At least 18 apartment buildings and 13 homes were hit, with more strikes reported in Donetsk, Dnipro, Ternopil, and Odesa. Ukraine's Air Force said it shot down 174 out of 206 drones and nine missiles overnight. 12 Smoke billowing from a fire burning in a building after an airstrike in Kharkiv on Saturday Credit: EPA 12 Explosion is seen after Russian air strike on Kyiv, Ukraine, on Friday SUMMER OFFENSIVE BREWING Western analysts say Mad Vlad is not just seeking revenge - but a breakthrough. Reports from Ukrainian intelligence suggest up to 125,000 troops are massing near the Sumy and Kharkiv frontiers, with fears of a three-pronged summer assault to finally break the deadlock. The offensive is expected to focus on Kramatorsk, Kostiantynivka, and Pokrovsk in the Donbas - with plans to encircle key cities rather than slug it out street by street. Military analyst Konrad Muzyka told The Telegraph Russia's tactics have evolved: "We have seen the Russians shift to focused, small-unit attacks, often of just three to five men. "Company-size assaults of 50 to 100 men hardly ever happen anymore." But Ukraine, armed with drones and Western weapons, isn't backing down. Zelensky warned this week: "Even after all of Russia's horrific attacks, he is reportedly preparing yet more so-called 'responses.' "With every new strike, with every delay of diplomacy, Russia is giving the finger to the entire world."

SNP 'demeaned themselves' with focus on Reform UK at by-election
Speaking to the Sunday National, the University of Strathclyde's Dr Michael Higgins said that the communication around the by-election, in terms of both the media coverage and political parties' output, had been 'dominated to some extent by Reform UK' who had made the vote 'about race'. Voters in Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse went to the polls on Thursday to elect a new MSP, with Scottish Labour's Davy Russell emerging as the winner when the vote was called in the small hours of Friday. In the wake of the SNP's loss, party activists told The National that concerns raised about a campaign focused on opposing Reform UK rather than unpopular Labour Government policies had been dismissed by party bosses. READ MORE: John Curtice issues verdict on Hamilton by-election after 'surprise' result Dr Higgins similarly said that focusing on Farage – as First Minister John Swinney did with his claim that the by-election contest was a two-horse race between Reform and the SNP – had been a 'miscalculation'. 'I think that Nigel Farage is better ignored,' the political communications expert went on. 'I think people who are serious political players – whether you're on the side of the Conservatives or the Greens or Labour or the Scottish National Party, all of them are contributing, all of them are long-standing, democratic institutions that make a considerable and valuable contribution to political culture. 'I think they demean themselves by comparing themselves or responding to the interventions of individuals such as Nigel Farage, who is not a politician but a snake oil salesman.' Dr Higgins was one of the political experts to attend Swinney's anti-far-right summit, convened in Glasgow in April, from which Reform UK were explicitly excluded. READ MORE: The 2 steps Scotland can take to defeat the far-right for good Asked if that conference had also been a 'miscalculation' by allowing Farage to present himself as anti-establishment, Dr Higgins said that had been a different case. 'I think it was a legitimate response to concerns that are shared across the political spectrum,' he told the Sunday National. Outside that conference, demonstrations were held by both Reform UK and the fascist-adjacent fringe group A Force for Good, led by Holocaust-denier Alistair McConnachie. Dr Higgins noted that the Reform UK activists had been 'very keen indeed to distance themselves' from the extremists, and said the party had an obligation to ensure that its messaging did the same. Holocaust denier Alistair McConnachie speaks outside the anti-far-right summit in Glasgow (Image: PA) Ahead of the vote, Reform UK paid around £25,000 to push a 'race-baiting' advert on Facebook and Instagram which falsely claimed Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar had said he wanted to 'prioritise the Pakistani community'. It was ultimately seen more than one million times by voters in the constituency. The advert used footage from 2022 which had been unearthed by an anonymous far-right account on Twitter/X just two weeks before Reform UK began paying for extracts of the same video to be promoted on Facebook. Asked if this was a coincidence or perhaps evidence of a rhetorical pipeline from the far right to Reform UK, Dr Higgins said: 'You're quite right in saying that is extremely coincidental, and those sorts of coincidences are to be avoided in the future.' The advert was widely condemned – with Sarwar calling Farage a 'pathetic, poisonous little man' and First Minister John Swinney labelling it 'blatantly racist' and 'unacceptable' – but became a key story of the by-election. Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar was targeted by a 'racist' campaign advertDr Higgins said that in terms of issues which defined the campaign, 'you need to talk about race'. 'I think it's really, really unfortunate in a Scottish context – I think it's unfortunate in a context anywhere – but they made it about race and immigration,' he went on. 'The social media post grossly misrepresented something that Anas Sarwar said. It was simply untrue, but that doesn't matter to parties such as Reform UK and Donald Trump and the populist right. 'They'll happily just try out a line and whether it's true or not, it will stick to the wall, it will stick with their constituency.' Dr Higgins said that while he would not 'characterise Reform IK's social media posts as racist, I think that they may well appeal to members of the electorate who are racist'. 'Of all the parties that are serious contenders, Reform UK are the party that will appeal most to those who are very hostile to immigration and racist.' READ MORE: Scottish independence 'already begun' as UK political culture diverges, expert says The political communications expert and author, who has written extensively on populism and the right, said that the Hamilton by-election had seen Reform UK 'setting out their stall in a national context', suggesting that similar tactics will be deployed ahead of the full Holyrood elections in May 2026. However, he further said that Reform UK's 26% vote share – which his University of Strathclyde colleague Professor John Curtice described as a 'surprise' due to being notably higher than the party is polling – may not be reflected in the full 2026 elections. 'People tend to vote in by-elections in ways that they wouldn't vote in a general election, knowing that they're not voting to constitute the government of the day,' Dr Higgins said. 'Disillusionment's really important. Most people who are not spending their days immersed in politics and are simply annoyed at both the SNP Government in Scotland and the Labour Government in the UK may be disillusioned, may not wish to vote Conservative, and may see Reform UK as a way of registering that disillusionment.' Reform UK leader Nigel Farage campaigned in Scotland before the by-election (Image: Ben Whitley) He added: 'I think Nigel Farage will burn himself out in terms of his interest to the media. There's only so much attention that can be given to Farage.' The wheels did seem to come off Reform UK's bus slightly on the day of the by-election, when their party chair Zia Yusuf resigned after an MP raised what he called the 'stupid' question of a ban on the burqa at Prime Minister's Questions. Whether Farage's party can keep their momentum going into 2026 – or more crucially for them, the 2029 General Election – may depend on how the other parties respond. Can the SNP find a message which is not simply 'lock out Reform UK'? If the Hamilton by-election is a warning, they will have to.
