Pakistan’s defence minister has said the country is willing to go to war with India if it feels its water security is threatened, as the fate of a key treaty governing rivers between the two countries hung in the balance.
India said it suspended the 66-year-old Indus Water Treaty, which sets out how the two countries can use their shared rivers, after a terror attack on civilians in Kashmir in which 26 people were killed. Pakistan has denied any involvement in the attack, while India has said it will not observe the treaty unless Pakistan tackles cross-border terrorism.
