India has threatened before, in other moments of rising tensions, to pull out of the Indus Waters Treaty, which both countries signed in 1960. If India follows through this time, it could restrict the flow of water that is used for most of Pakistan’s crop irrigation and human consumption. Agriculture represents one-fourth of the country’s economy.

"Pakistan spread disinformation that India targeted the Nankama Sahib Gurdwara through a drone attack, which is yet another blatant lie," Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri said.

Multiple blasts were heard in Jammu city in Indian Kashmir for the second day on Friday, and projectiles seen in the night sky after a blackout.
