Amid escalating tensions following the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26, Pakistan's ambassador to Russia, Muhammad Khalid Jamali, warned of using the "full spectrum of power," including nuclear weapons, if India initiates military action or disrupts Pakistan's water supply. Jamali cited credible intelligence suggesting imminent Indian strikes on Pakistani territory. India, accusing Pakistan of supporting the attack, suspended the Indus Waters Treaty, a move Jamali deemed an act of war. Pakistan's Defence Minister Khawaja Asif also threatened to target any Indian infrastructure on the Indus River. These developments mark a significant deterioration in India-Pakistan relations, raising concerns over potential military escalation between the nuclear-armed neighbors. (PC: AdobeStock)
