'No water for Terror' - India Blocks Chenab River Flow to Pakistan after Pahalgam Attack, Dams Shut

In a powerful response to the recent terrorist attack in Pahalgam that claimed 26 lives, India has escalated its diplomatic and strategic actions against Pakistan. As part of suspending cooperation under the Indus Waters Treaty, India has blocked the flow of water from the Chenab River by shutting the gates of the Salal and Baglihar dams. Reports from Pakistan show the riverbed of Chenab drying up in several regions. #IndiaPakistan #ChenabRiver #IndusWatersTreaty #PahalgamAttack #ModiGovernment #WaterDiplomacy #BagliharDam #SalalDam #IndiaStrikesBack #Geopolitics #NationalSecurity #NoWaterForTerror Also Read India Begins Work On Hydroelectric Projects In Kashmir Amid Indus Treaty Suspension With Pakistan: Reports :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/india-begins-work-on-hydroelectric-projects-in-kashmir-amid-indus-treaty-suspension-with-pakistan-r-4143719.html?ref=DMDesc Bilawal Bhutto Threatens India Over Scrapping Indus Water Treaty: 'Either Our Water Will Flow, Or Their Blood' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/bilawal-bhutto-threatens-india-over-scrapping-indus-water-treaty-either-our-water-will-flow-or-th-4135561.html?ref=DMDesc Pakistan Will Give Befitting Response To Any Misadventure: Islamabad On India Suspending Indus Water Treaty :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/pakistan-will-give-befitting-response-to-any-misadventure-islamabad-on-india-suspending-indus-water-4133169.html?ref=DMDesc ~PR.274~HT.408~

Pakistan Accuses India Of 'Flood Retaliation' As Jhelum's Sharp Water Rise Creates Panic in POK

Pakistani media outlets claim India released water into the Jhelum River without prior notice, causing sudden flooding near Chakothi in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. Panic spread among residents along the riverbanks. Pakistani authorities issued warnings, linking the incident to India's response to the recent terror attack in Pahalgam. Following the attack, Indian PM Modi vowed justice and suspended the Indus Water Treaty. Pakistani media alleges the water release escalates regional tensions, while Indian officials have not commented, leaving Islamabad’s accusations hanging. #India #Pakistan #JhelumRiver #WaterWar #IndusWaterTreaty #Modi #PahalgamAttack #FloodAlert #PakistanMedia #KashmirTensions #CrossBorderTensions #IndiaPakistanNews #JammuAndKashmir #PakistaniClaims #WaterCrisis #Geopolitics #BreakingNews #ChakothiFlood #IndusRiverSystem #TerrorAttack #ModiSpeech #IndiaNews #PakistanNews #SouthAsia #FloodWarning #WaterPolitics #TensionsRise #RiverDispute #DiplomaticCrisis #PahalgamTerrorAttack Also Read Pakistani Official Sparks Outrage With 'Throat-Slitting' Gesture At Indian Protesters In London | WATCH :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/pakistani-official-sparks-outrage-with-throat-slitting-gesture-at-protest-by-indians-in-london-w-4135931.html?ref=DMDesc Omar Casts Aspersions On Pakistan's Offer To Join 'Neutral' Probe Into Pahalgam Killings: 'Difficult To...' :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/omar-casts-aspersions-on-pakistans-offer-to-join-neutral-probe-into-pahalgam-killings-difficult-4135775.html?ref=DMDesc Bilawal Bhutto Threatens India Over Scrapping Indus Water Treaty: 'Either Our Water Will Flow, Or Their Blood' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/bilawal-bhutto-threatens-india-over-scrapping-indus-water-treaty-either-our-water-will-flow-or-th-4135561.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.194~HT.336~GR.124~

Kyiv’s Memorandum Demands REVEALED But Russia Fails to Reveal its Promised Memorandum | Peace Talks [Video]

Kyiv’s Memorandum Demands REVEALED But Russia Fails to Reveal its Promised Memorandum | Peace Talks

Ukraine has accused Russia of stalling peace negotiations by withholding a promised memorandum ahead of proposed Istanbul talks. Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha warned that Ukraine won't attend without seeing the terms first, fearing a diplomatic ambush. The Kremlin insists its terms will be presented only at the table, while Kyiv seeks a cease-fire as the first step. With rising battlefield tensions and behind-the-scenes U.S. diplomacy, the looming talks remain uncertain. Trump’s envoy urged Ukraine to “show up,” even without clarity—raising serious doubts about Russia’s intentions and the talks’ credibility. #ukraine #russia #war #peaceprocess #istanbultalks #putin #zelensky #ceasefire #ukrainerussiawar #nato #diplomacy #russianmemorandum #andriisybiha #kremlin #moscow #trump #trumpspecialenvoy #kellogg #peaceplan Also Read Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif Says Ready To Talk With India On All Disputes :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/pakistan-pm-shehbaz-sharif-says-ready-to-talk-with-india-on-all-disputes-4164725.html?ref=DMDesc Telangana CM Revanth Reddy Meets K.

Will Ukraine accept Russia's PEACE talks invite? Russian delegation awaits |Breakthrough soon?

A Russian delegation led by Vladimir Medinsky is en route to Istanbul for proposed peace talks with Ukraine on June 2. While Moscow expresses hope, Ukraine remains skeptical, demanding immediate delivery of Russia’s ceasefire draft and calling Russia’s silence a stalling tactic. Kyiv insists it already sent its own draft and had earlier demanded a 30-day truce—rejected by Russia. With tensions high, accusations mounting, and delegations unchanged, the possibility of a real breakthrough appears increasingly remote. #RussiaUkraineWar #PeaceTalks #IstanbulMeeting #UkraineCrisis #RussiaDelegation #VladimirMedinsky #Ceasefire #DiplomaticTensions #LavrovProposal #UkraineDemands #Kyiv #Moscow #PutinZelensky #TruceTalks #Stalemate #GlobalDiplomacy #RussiaUkraineConflict #UkraineWarNews #RussiaUkrainePeace #Geopolitics #RoundTwoTalks #NoBreakthrough #UkraineResponse #ConflictResolution #UkraineRussia2025 #CeasefireDraft #Zelensky #PutinSkipped #MedinskyLeads #UnchangedDelegation Also Read Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif Says Ready To Talk With India On All Disputes :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/pakistan-pm-shehbaz-sharif-says-ready-to-talk-with-india-on-all-disputes-4164725.html?ref=DMDesc West Pitching China-India Against Each Other: Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/west-pitching-china-india-against-each-other-russian-foreign-minister-sergei-lavrov-4155227.html?ref=DMDesc Russia Marks 80th Anniversary of Nazi Germany's Defeat with Grand Victory Day Parade :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/victory-day-parade-russia-80th-anniversary-defeat-nazi-germany-011-4148945.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.103~GR.124~

No PEACE TALKS on June 2? Russia dismisses Ukraine’s ‘UNCONSTRUCTIVE’ Demand

Russia’s proposed second round of Ukraine peace talks in Istanbul on June 2 appears doomed before it begins. Ukraine has raised complaints, demanding Moscow deliver its ceasefire draft immediately, while Russia decries Kyiv’s conditions as "unconstructive." Ukraine insists on a full ceasefire as a starting point, accusing Russia of stalling. The first talks failed after Putin skipped the meeting, and now with no changes in Russia’s delegation, hopes for diplomatic progress remain bleak amid rising tension and mistrust. #RussiaUkraineWar #PeaceTalks #IstanbulSummit #CeasefireStalemate #Lavrov #Zelensky #Putin #Medinsky #UkraineDemands #RussiaRefuses #DiplomaticDeadlock #KyivVsMoscow #WarInUkraine #Geopolitics #UkrainePeacePlan #RussiaPeaceDraft #June2Talks #NoBreakthrough #UkraineConflict #CeasefireNow #GlobalDiplomacy #PutinSnub #WesternSanctions #PeaceEffortsFail #UkraineRussiaTensions #UnconditionalCeasefire #NegotiationCrisis #UkraineRussiaNews #TurkeyMediation #RussiaUkraineDialogue #FailedDiplomacy Also Read Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif Says Ready To Talk With India On All Disputes :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/pakistan-pm-shehbaz-sharif-says-ready-to-talk-with-india-on-all-disputes-4164725.html?ref=DMDesc West Pitching China-India Against Each Other: Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/west-pitching-china-india-against-each-other-russian-foreign-minister-sergei-lavrov-4155227.html?ref=DMDesc Russia Marks 80th Anniversary of Nazi Germany's Defeat with Grand Victory Day Parade :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/victory-day-parade-russia-80th-anniversary-defeat-nazi-germany-011-4148945.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.420~HT.336~

Russia Sets June 2 Peace Talks With Ukraine In Istanbul-But Kyiv Remains Silent After Prisoner Swap

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has proposed June 2 as the next date for direct talks with Ukraine in Istanbul, following their first meeting since 2022 on May 16. Russia claims it’s ready with a detailed peace memorandum and awaits Kiev’s confirmation. Lavrov thanked Türkiye, the US, and Saudi Arabia for facilitating dialogue. This development follows the largest Russia-Ukraine prisoner swap yet—1,000 individuals exchanged. Talks aim at lasting peace, with Moscow pushing for Ukraine’s neutrality and non-NATO status amid Western media claims of delays. #RussiaUkraine #PeaceTalks #IstanbulMeet #Lavrov #Putin #Umerov #UkraineWar #Ceasefire #Kiev #Moscow #RussiaNews #UkraineCrisis #RussiaUkraineConflict #Diplomacy #WarResolution #PrisonerSwap #SergeyLavrov #RustemUmerov #NATO #NeutralUkraine Also Read Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif Says Ready To Talk With India On All Disputes :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/pakistan-pm-shehbaz-sharif-says-ready-to-talk-with-india-on-all-disputes-4164725.html?ref=DMDesc Telangana CM Revanth Reddy Meets K.

Bhutto FACT-CHECKED at UN Over 'Muslim Vilification' Lie | Journalist EXPOSES Anti-India Claim

Pakistan's Bilawal Bhutto Zardari faced an awkward moment at a UN press briefing after a journalist fact-checked his claim that India was "demonising Muslims" following the Pahalgam terror attack. Bhutto alleged India was politicising the tragedy to vilify Muslims, but the journalist countered with firsthand experience, highlighting Muslim officers leading Indian Army briefings. Bhutto, visibly unsettled, admitted, "You're absolutely right." The episode casts doubt on Pakistan’s narrative as Bhutto leads a diplomatic team to counter India’s global stance post-Operation Sindoor. #BilawalBhutto #UNPressBriefing #IndiaPakistan #OperationSindoor #FactCheck #PahalgamAttack #IndianArmy #PakClaims #IndianMuslims #ColSofiyaQureshi #VyomikaSingh #KashmirIssue #Terrorism #IslamabadDiplomacy #UNNews #GlobalPolitics #PakNarrative #IndiaDefense #IndianMuslimOfficers #PakistanUN #JournalistFactCheck #SouthAsiaNews #BustedAtUN #BhuttoEmbarrassed #KashmirTensions #IndiaPakistanTensions #PPP #BilawalAtUN #BreakingNews #IndiaNarrative #TruthAtUN Also Read Bilawal Bhutto Admits UN Hurdles On Kashmir As Pakistan, India Launch Parallel Diplomacy In US :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/bilawal-bhutto-admits-un-hurdles-on-kashmir-as-pakistan-india-launch-parallel-diplomacy-in-us-4171933.html?ref=DMDesc Team Shashi Tharoor, Bilawal Bhutto To Jostle In US This Week As India And Pakistan Step Up Diplomatic Push :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/team-shashi-tharoor-bilawal-bhutto-to-jostle-in-us-this-week-as-india-and-pakistan-step-up-diplomat-4170769.html?ref=DMDesc United Nations Under-Secretary-General For Peace Operations Praises India :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/united-nations-under-secretary-general-for-peace-operations-praises-india-4168359.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.346~HT.408~GR.125~
