The Chinese embassies in India and Pakistan on Friday advised citizens to step up safety precautions and to be cautious about travelling to the South Asian countries, amidst the worst fighting in the region in nearly three decades.
The nuclear-armed neighbours have been clashing since India struck multiple locations in Pakistan on Wednesday that it said were "terrorist camps", in retaliation for a deadly attack on Hindu tourists in Kashmir last month.
Chinese citizens in India and Pakistan should closely follow the situation and enhance security measures, separate statements from the embassies said.
