Diplomatic Measures and Retaliations
India and Pakistan have enacted a series of diplomatic expulsions and visa cancellations in response to a deadly attack in Kashmir, with India blaming Pakistan for the incident.
Pakistan closed its airspace to Indian airlines and suspended all trade with India, countering India's measures which included cutting diplomatic staff and closing the only functional land border crossing.
Water-Sharing Treaty and Military Escalation Fears
Both nations suspended a landmark water-sharing treaty, with India accusing Pakistan of supporting cross-border terrorism, and Pakistan warning any attempt to stop water flow would be an "act of war".
Domestic pressures and threats of military action have escalated, with India's Prime Minister Modi vowing to punish the terrorists behind the attack, and Pakistan warning of firm reciprocal measures.
