3:56 PM Eastern US Time, 24 April 2025 -- About twenty minutes ago, India closed all the flow gates at four (4) separate Dams along the Indus River, that feed fresh water into Pakistan.
Yesterday, in response to a terrorist attack in Kashmir which killed 26 India (Hindu) Tourists, India blamed Pakistan and took aggressive actions against Pakistan.
Among the actions taken by India was "suspension" of the Indus River Water Treaty, which has been in-place since 1960.
The Indus River flows from the Himalaya Mountains southwestward through northern India. It then crosses into Pakistan and flows due south through all of Pakistan, emptying into the Arabian Sea. The River provides Pakistan with fresh water for its people. The map below shows the river in red:
Pakistan said today that if India halts the flow of water from the Indus River, Pakistan will treat that as an "act of War" and respond with force.
India has done done exactly that.
UPDATE 4:30 PM EDT --
Imagery is now coming in confirming the spillways in the final dam on the Indus River are now SHUT OFF, halting the fresh water from the Indus River from flowing into Pakistan.
