The United States has issued a security alert and travel advisories for its citizens in Pakistan and India, following Indian military strikes on targets in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) and Pakistan's Punjab province as part of Operation Sindoor. The US Embassy in Pakistan has urged Americans to avoid conflict zones, particularly near the India-Pakistan border and the Line of Control (LoC), and to leave areas of active conflict if it is safe to do so, or otherwise shelter in place. The US Consulate General in Lahore has directed all consulate personnel to shelter in place amid the escalating tensions. The US Embassy in India has similarly advised US citizens to avoid travel to the union territory of Jammu and Kashmir. The Trump administration has reinforced these advisories. Other countries, including Israel, the Netherlands, Australia, and Taiwan, have also updated their travel advisories in response to the conflict. Israel has called on its nationals to immediately leave the Kashmir region, excluding Ladakh, while the Netherlands, Australia, and Taiwan have urged their citizens to avoid the India-Pakistan border areas. The advisories follow intense military activity in the region, with reports of casualties on both sides after Indian strikes and subsequent artillery and mortar shelling by Pakistan's army along the LoC. According to reports, 31 people were killed and 57 injured in Pakistan, while at least 13 people, including four children and a soldier, were killed and 57 injured on the Indian side. The Indian military action was reportedly in retaliation for the April 22 terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam.
