Pakistan defence minister Khawaja Asif has issued a warning to India, saying Islamabad could resort to military action if its water security comes under threat. His remarks come as Pakistan grapples with a worsening water crisis, more than a year after New Delhi suspended the long-standing Indus Waters Treaty in the aftermath of Pakistan-sponsored Pahalgam terror attack.

DPM Dar says treaty envisages peaceful resolution of disputes within its own framework.

DPM Dar says respect for treaty obligations not merely a regional concern but a global imperative.
