India has issued a strong response to Pakistan's latest rhetoric over the Indus Waters Treaty, making it clear that the agreement will remain in abeyance until Islamabad credibly and irrevocably ends its support for cross-border terrorism. Responding to Pakistan's recent threats over water sharing, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said New Delhi's position remains unchanged and rejected Pakistan's aggressive posturing.

Pakistan and Afghanistan tensions have erupted once again after Pakistan carried out overnight airstrikes and a ground operation across the border. Pakistan says the operation targeted militant hideouts in Afghanistan's Paktika, Paktia and Kunar provinces, killing 29 militants in an intelligence-based mission launched after recent terror attacks inside Pakistan, including the attack on the Pakistan Rangers headquarters in Karachi. However, Afghan authorities have strongly disputed Pakistan's account, alleging that residential areas, including homes and mosques, were hit. Afghan officials claim more than 35 civilians, including children and elderly people, were killed and over 100 others injured.
