NEW DELHI/ISLAMABAD, May 7, 2025 (WAFA) – At least eight people have been killed and 35 injured, and two are reported missing after India launched missile attacks inside Pakistan, a spokesperson for the Pakistani Army said on Wednesday.
The Indian army, “using different weapons, targeted six places, which left 24 impacts,” Lt. Gen. Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry told a press conference in the garrison city of Rawalpindi.
Meanwhile, "at least 26 civilians" were killed and 46 wounded in Indian army strikes on "six locations" in Pakistan, and in an exchange of fire between the two armies in the Kashmir region, a Pakistani military spokesman announced today.
UN Secretary-General António Guterres expressed his deep concern over the military operations between India and Pakistan across the Line of Control and the international border.
According to a statement issued by his spokesperson today, Guterres called for "maximum military restraint between the two countries," warning that "the world cannot tolerate a military confrontation between India and Pakistan."
These developments came hours after India announced that it would "cut off the water" of rivers that originate in its territory and irrigate Pakistan, also in response to the attack in Indian-administered Kashmir.
India had suspended its participation in a 1960 water-sharing treaty with Pakistan in response to the April 22 attack in the tourist city of Pahalgam.
Hours before Modi's announcement, Pakistan accused India of altering the flow of the Chenab River, one of three rivers now under Islamabad's control under a 1960 treaty.
The day after India suspended its participation in the treaty, Islamabad warned that tampering with its rivers would be considered an "act of war."
