Cloudbursts are causing chaos in mountainous parts of India and Pakistan, with tremendous amounts of rain falling in a short period of time over a concentrated area.

Pakistan’s Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Field Marshal Asim Munir has repeated his assertion that Kashmir is Pakistan’s “jugular vein”, warning that Islamabad will defend its water rights “at all costs”. His latest remarks came while addressing the Pakistani diaspora in Tampa, Florida, during his ongoing official visit to the United States.

Hundreds of people have marched in Pakistan-administered Kashmir to mark the sixth anniversary of India’s revocation of the disputed region’s semiautonomous status after confrontations between the two nations in May raised fears of a potential nuclear conflict.

Rescuers in northwest Pakistan pulled 63 more bodies overnight from homes flattened by landslides and flash floods, raising the death toll from rain-related incidents to at least 220

Reasserting Islamabad’s long-standing stance on Kashmir, Dar added, “The Kashmir cause remains just, the rights of the Kashmiri people inalienable, and Pakistan's support for their struggle unshakable until justice prevails. As we commemorate this day, let us renew our dedication to a stronger, more secure, and prosperous Pakistan.”
