Pakistan Threatens India Over Indus Treaty

Tensions between India and Pakistan have significantly escalated following the April 22 India — Pahalgam terror attack, which killed 26 people. In response, India suspended the Indus Waters Treaty, a 1960 accord governing water sharing. Pakistan's Defence Minister, Khawaja Asif, subsequently warned that Pakistan would strike any structure built by India on the Indus River in violation of the treaty, deeming such actions as 'Indian aggression'. Khawaja Asif also accused Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi of staging political drama. Amidst these threats, Pakistan conducted a training launch of the Abdali weapon system, a surface-to-surface missile. Both nations have taken punitive measures, including visa revocations and border closures, while Pakistan has denied involvement in the India — Pahalgam attack and offered an investigation.
