..PAKISTAN - APR. 25, 2025: Anadolu captured on Friday (Apr. 25) the Attari-Wagah crossing between India and Pakistan. India on Wednesday closed the Attari-Wagah crossing, currently the only operational and legal land border with Pakistan after an attack by unidentified gunmen on Tuesday killed 26 people in Jammu and Kashmir. New Delhi also announced revocation of SAARC visa privileges for Pakistanis and suspended the 1960 Indus Waters Treaty. Pakistan also announced reciprocal measures, including the suspension of trade and closure of airspace for Indian aircraft. Pakistan and India, which have long been locked in a string of disputes, including the longstanding Kashmir issue, share 3,323 kilometers (2,065 miles) long border. There are many crossing points along the heavily guarded frontier, but most of them remain closed for limited trade and travel. The Wagah-Attari border connects Pakistan's northeastern city of Lahore with the Indian city Amritsar. It was the only permitted road link between the two neighbors until Wednesday. The crossing is also famous for the "lowering of the flags" ceremony, which is held every evening on both sides of the border, attracting a large number of visitors. It serves as a goods transit terminal and a railway station between Pakistan and India, apart from being a key route for the Afghan Transit Trade. Hundreds of Pakistanis and Indians travel through this border every day. The border also served as a key rail link between the two countries until 2019. The Samjhauta Express ran from the Indian capital Delhi to Attari on the border and then on to Lahore in Pakistan. The service remains suspended.
