Breaking: Pakistan Shuts Airspace, Indian Warships Move Towards Pakistan, Water War Begins

Pakistan has issued a maritime warning ahead of a missile test off the Karachi coast, intensifying tensions with India following a deadly terror attack in Kashmir. India has blamed Pakistan-based terror groups and retaliated by suspending the Indus Waters Treaty and shutting down key diplomatic and border ties. As Pakistan prepares surface-to-surface missile tests in the Arabian Sea, India has expelled Pakistani diplomats and ordered SAARC visa holders to leave. Both nations now scale down their embassies, raising fears of escalation between the two nuclear-armed neighbors. #PakistanMissileTest #IndiaPakistanTensions #KarachiMissileLaunch #CrossBorderCrisis #KashmirAttack #IndusTreatySuspended #DiplomaticExpulsions #SAARC #ArabianSea #MilitaryStandoff #NuclearNeighbours #IndiaDefense #PakistanArmy #SurfaceToSurfaceMissiles #IndianHighCommission #WagahBorder #MissileWarning #ShehbazSharif #ModiGovt #IndiaPakistanNews #BreakingNews #GeoPolitics #MilitaryTensions #SouthAsia #MissileLaunchAlert #Terrorism #DefensePolicy #SecurityConcerns #NuclearThreat #IndoPakConflict Also Read Warming Arabian Sea Linked to Devastating Landslides in Kerala's Wayanad :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/arabian-sea-warming-triggers-wayanad-landslides-011-3893345.html?ref=DMDesc Indian Navy Assists Fishing Vessel With Pakistani Crew In Arabian Sea - Check Details :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/indian-navy-assists-fishing-vessel-with-pakistani-crew-in-arabian-sea-check-details-3816111.html?ref=DMDesc Drone Attack on Portuguese Ship in Arabian Sea Raises Security Concerns :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/portuguese-flagged-ship-attacked-arabian-sea-houthi-rebel-threat-011-3813191.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~GR.125~ED.194~
