Tensions between the nuclear-armed neighbours have soared since gunmen killed 26 tourists in Indian-controlled Kashmir last month.

Pakistan's information minister Attuallah Tarar said: "We have blown their [Indian] military installations on the de facto border."
He went on to claim Pakistan killed "40-50 Indian soldiers" along the de facto border between the Indian and Pakistani-controlled areas of the disputed Kashmir region.
This development comes just hours after India has suspended its top cricket tournament, the Indian Premier League, over rising tensions with Pakistan.

The move marks a continued escalation in tensions between the two countries, which has spurred experts to speculate whether we could be on the brink of a war footing.
Mohammad Faisal, a senior Pakistani diplomat in London, has warned his compatriots in the UK to stay calm amid rising tensions with India - but warned that the two countries were "close to war".
Sir Keir Starmer has called for India and Pakistan to take steps to ease the "rising tensions", as protests have taken place in England against the conflict.
"We are engaging urgently with both countries as well as other international partners, encouraging dialogue, de-escalation and the protection of civilians," the Prime Minister has said.
The Foreign Office has also updated its travel advice for the region, warning against all travel within 10 kilometres of the India-Pakistan border and 10 miles of the line of control, the de facto border that divides disputed Kashmir.
In a separate statement, Foreign Secretary David Lammy called for India and Pakistan to "show restraint and engage in direct dialogue to find a swift, diplomatic path forward".
There are worries that rising tensions between the two countries could trickle into their diaspora UK populations.
The Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) has also expressed concern about the impact of events in Kashmir on British Indian and Pakistani communities, noting "heightened emotions" in recent days.
Maswood Ahmed, deputy secretary general of the MCB, said: "In these tense times, we must all play our part."
"The MCB stands ready to engage with authorities, faith institutions and both Pakistani and Indian communities to ensure our streets remain peaceful."
