The US house committee of foreign affairs has criticized a report by the New York Times on the Pahalgam attack in which 26 people were killed. The committee argues that the attack should be labeled as a 'terrorist attack' rather than an attack by 'militants'. India has suspended the Indus Water Treaty and downgraded diplomatic ties with Pakistan in response to the attack. Pakistan has retaliated by putting bilateral accords with India on hold, closing its airspace for Indian airlines, and taking other measures.
