In Srinagar in Indian-administered Kashmir, a road, normally busy with tourists and travellers, lies deserted.

All flights in and out of the region’s main city have been suspended for civilians and the airport is reserved for military use only.

Many locals have been hiding inside bunkers and some have fled the area to find safer ground.

Indian officials say that they “destroyed terror camps” in Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir through air strikes on Wednesday. India blames Pakistan for the deadly Pahalgam attack which killed 26 people last month – a claim Pakistan denies.

BBC journalist Aamir Peerzada reports.
