Pakistani officials accuse India of suddenly opening the gates without warning, causing a sudden rise in water levels and forcing coastal residents to evacuate.

India was accused of suddenly opening the floodgates at the Uri hydropower station on the 26th, without prior notice, causing a significant increase in the water level of the Jhelum River in downstream Pakistan, leading to the evacuation of residents along the coast. Pakistani officials accused India of violating the Indus Water Treaty. On the 22nd, a shooting incident targeting tourists occurred in Indian-controlled Kashmir, resulting in 26 deaths and several injuries. India believes that Pakistan is associated with the attack. India announced a series of measures against Pakistan, including suspending the implementation of the Indus Water Treaty. Pakistan, in turn, has taken a series of countermeasures.
