In light of rising tensions in the region following the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) in Singapore has issued a travel advisory urging its citizens to defer all non-essential travel to India's Jammu & Kashmir and to Pakistan.

"In view of the volatile security situation between India and Pakistan, Singaporeans are advised to defer all non-essential travel to Jammu & Kashmir in India, and to Pakistan. Travellers should exercise precaution, especially at the border regions between Pakistan and India," the statement read.
