Pak minister’s fresh threat: Will strike any structure built to divert Indus water

In a TV interview with Geo News, Khawaja Asif said that building any structure on the Indus River would be seen as 'Indian aggression'.

India suspended the Indus Waters Treaty as part of its response against Pakistan in the aftermath of the deadly terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam that killed 26 people dead, most tourists.

The Pakistani defence minister said, "Certainly, if they attempt to build any structure, we will strike it. Aggression is not just about firing cannons or bullets; it has many faces. One of those faces is (blocking or diverting water), which could lead to deaths due to hunger and thirst."
