Tensions between India and Pakistan have been escalating since the two sides crossed fire on Wednesday. Several Chinese nationals living in both countries reached by the Global Times on Saturday shared that their current lives have not been greatly affected despite airspace closure and cancellation of travel plans.

India said it “neutralized” Pakistani drone and missile attacks targeting several military sites on Thursday night, marking an escalation in hostilities between the two nuclear-armed neighbors.

Indian shares fell on Thursday in their most volatile session in a month after the country said it "neutralised" attempts by Pakistan to "engage" several military targets in its northern and western regions.
