Overview

• Twenty-six Indian tourists were killed and 19 injured in a terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Kashmir, claimed by an unknown group called Resistencia Cachemira.
• India has closed the Wagah border crossing, expelled 25 Pakistani diplomats, and suspended the 1960 Indus Waters Treaty, a historic water-sharing pact.
• Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government has accused Pakistan of involvement in the attack without providing evidence, prompting Islamabad to demand proof.
• Pakistan retaliated by suspending trade, closing its airspace to Indian airlines, and canceling visas for Indian citizens, while labeling India’s measures as politically motivated.
• The suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty has raised fears of water weaponization, with Pakistan warning it would treat any disruption of river flows as an act of war.
