The Philippine Embassy in Pakistan has advised Filipinos to avoid travel to parts of Kashmir administered by Pakistan following recent missile strikes by India.

In an advisory issued Wednesday, May 7, the Philippine Embassy specifically warned against travel to Bhimber City, Azad Kashmir, the Sialkot Line of Control, and anywhere within five miles of the India-Pakistan border.

The Line of Control is the de facto border between India and Pakistan in the region of Jammu and Kashmir, a territory both countries claim in full but control in part.

“Filipinos residing in these areas are advised to exercise extreme caution,” the embassy said.
