The Indian government decided to stop the flow of Indus River water to Pakistan following the termination of the 1960 Indus Waters Treaty. Millions of people in Pakistan are heavily dependent on water from the Indus River. On April 25, 2025 the Pakistani government warned that messing with the flow of water would be an "act of war". The threat came from Pakistan Prime Minister's Office as tensions flare between New Dehli and [[Islamabad]]. The same morning Indian forces and Pakistani forces "briefly exchanged fire". Small arms were used by both sides, but no casualties immediately reported. The gunfire violated a 2021 pledge by the two nations to observe a ceasefire along the disputed Line of Control between Indian and Pakistani controlled areas of Kashmir. [[Social media]] showed videos of [[military]] equipment being moved toward the border.
