This seems like an important story to me that has not been widely covered. There was a tragic terrorist/insurgent attack on civilians in Kashmir which was covered. But in response, India has unilaterally pulled out of a major water treaty that has been been in place for half a century. From the AP:

India also suspended a landmark water-sharing treaty that has survived two wars between the countries, in 1965 and 1971, and a major border skirmish in 1999.

The Indus Water Treaty, brokered by the World Bank in 1960, allows for sharing the waters of a river system that is a lifeline for both countries, particularly for Pakistan’s agriculture.

Pakistan has responded angrily that it has nothing to do with the attack and warned that any Indian attempt to stop or divert flow of water would be considered an “act of war” and met with “full force across the complete spectrum” of Pakistan’s national power.

I wonder if the end of the water treaty will be permanent, even after this crisis of the moment passes (assuming it does). Is it possible that the government of India was waiting for a reason to pull out of the water treaty? We have been hearing that water supplies for South Asia originating in the Himalayas are becoming less reliable, at the same time the region is becoming much hotter and the monsoon season is becoming less predictable.
