Global Travel Warnings After India Strikes Pakistan

After India launched Operation Sindoor—airstrikes targeting militant infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir in retaliation for an attack on Indian tourists—multiple countries including Singapore, the US, UK, Australia, the Philippines, Ireland, and China have issued travel advisories. These advisories warn against non-essential travel to border areas, especially Jammu and Kashmir, citing heightened risks of terrorism, armed conflict, and civil unrest. The operation has reportedly resulted in significant civilian casualties, widespread flight disruptions, closed airspace over parts of Pakistan, and closure of major border crossings such as Wagah. No Filipino or Irish casualties have been reported, with embassies advising nationals to register and stay in contact for safety. The international community, including China, has called for restraint, urging India and Pakistan to seek peaceful resolution and avoid further escalation. Travelers are urged to remain vigilant, monitor official updates, and follow local guidance.
