Pakistan Sees Suspension Of Indus Water Treaty As "Act Of War"; Closes Airspace, Suspends Trade With India
[OneIndia] In a tat-for-tat move, Pakistan on Thursday suspended all its bilateral agreements and trade activities with India. Islamabad is also closing airspace to the Indian aircraft as New Delhi downgraded diplomatic ties with Islamabad and suspended the Indus Water Treaty over the recent Pahalgam terror attack.

The decision was taken at the National Security Committee meeting chaired by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.

In a statement, the National Security Committee said: "Water is a Vital National Interest of Pakistan, a lifeline for its 240 million people, and its availability will be safeguarded at all costs.

"Any attempt to stop or divert the flow of water belonging to Pakistan as per the Indus Waters Treaty, and the usurpation of the rights of lower riparian will be considered as an Act of War and responded with full force across the complete spectrum of National Power".

Amid Tensions With Pakistan, Indian Navy Test Fires Medium Range Missile In Arabian Sea
[Oneindia] Amid tensions with Pakistan over the Pahalgam terrorist attack, the Indian Navy successfully intercepted a fast-moving, sea-skimming missile target during a test conducted by its newest guided-missile destroyer.

"The Indian Navy's latest indigenous guided missile destroyer, INS Surat, has successfully carried out a precision cooperative engagement of a sea-skimming target, marking a significant milestone in strengthening the Navy's defence capabilities. This achievement demonstrates the Indian Navy's growing prowess in indigenous warship design, development, and operations, and underscores the nation's commitment to self-reliance in defence manufacturing," the Indian Navy said in a statement.

The Indian Navy's demonstration follows reports of Pakistan preparing for a surface-to-surface missile test along its Karachi coastline between April 24-25. While Pakistan claims the test will occur within its Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), Indian defense officials are closely monitoring the situation. Analysts suggest the test likely involves Shaheen-III or Babur cruise missiles, which have the range to target major Indian cities.
