Pakistan Warns India of Military Action Over Indus Waters Treaty Dispute
Pakistan's Defence Minister Khawaja Asif has warned India of potential military action if its water security is threatened amid escalating tensions over the Indus Waters Treaty. This follows India's suspension of the 1960 treaty after a terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir and a statement by India's Jal Shakti Minister indicating possible halting of water flow to Pakistan by 2028. The treaty, brokered by the World Bank, allocates about 80% of Indus basin waters to Pakistan, crucial for its agriculture amid a worsening water crisis.
