Pakistan said it has “credible intelligence” that India is planning to attack it within days, as Pakistani nationals headed for the border to comply with New Delhi’s orders to almost all Pakistani citizens to leave the country following last week’s deadly attack in Indian-controlled Kashmir.

An attack on tourists in Indian-controlled Kashmir and India’s moves to punish Pakistan – which denies any connection to the massacre – have driven tensions between the nuclear-armed rivals to their highest point since 2019, when the two sides came close to war after a suicide car bombing in Kashmir.
