Indian strike also targeted Neelum-Jhelum Power Project: DG ISPR
Pakistan Army spokesperson has stated that during last night’s Indian attacks, the Neelum-Jhelum Hydropower Project was also targeted, and the structure of the Noseri Dam sustained damage.
He further stated that India is attempting to harm Pakistan’s water resources, and this act of “water terrorism” by India will have serious consequences.
He questioned whether the laws of war and international law allow the targeting of a country’s water reserves and dams.
Major General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry, the spokesperson for the Pakistan Army, said, “Damaging hydro structures and water reservoirs is an unacceptable and dangerous act.

Stock Markets in Both Countries Decline Following Indian Attack on Pakistan
By Tanveer Malik, JournalistFollowing India’s attacks on various locations in Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir during the night between Tuesday and Wednesday—and the subsequent response by the Pakistani military—stock markets in both countries opened on a negative note on Wednesday morning.
The Pakistan Stock Exchange saw a sharp decline of 6,560 points, bringing the index down to 107,007 points.
Meanwhile, according to news agency Reuters, India’s Nifty 50 Index dropped by 0.6%, settling at 24,233.3 points, while the BSE Sensex fell by 0.86% to reach 79,948 points.
During trading, the market appeared under significant selling pressure.
Stock market analysts attributed the downturn in the market to India’s attack on Pakistan.
At the opening of the Pakistan Stock Exchange on Wednesday morning, a wave of hurried selling was observed among investors.
Market analyst Jibran Sarfraz told the BBC that the Indian strike the previous night was the primary cause of the stock market decline. He noted that as trading began, investors panicked and sold off shares.
He added that both individual and institutional investors displayed a trend of selling.
According to Sarfraz, such behavior is common during times of tension and conflict, especially for investors who have purchased stocks on margin and rush to sell in order to avoid further losses.
He stated that the same scenario played out today, resulting in a major market drop.

Reports from Pakistani media outlets, including Dunya News and ARY News, claim that the Indian Army raised a white flag at the Chora Complex along the Line of Control (LoC) following Pakistan’s retaliatory strikes. These reports suggest that the white flag was a symbol of surrender after significant losses, including the downing of multiple Indian fighter jets. 
However, Indian sources and independent fact-checkers have not confirmed these claims. An article from The Week describes Pakistan’s assertions as part of a “bizarre misinformation campaign,” indicating that there is no official acknowledgment from India regarding the hoisting of a white flag or any form of surrender. 
Given the conflicting narratives, it is essential to approach these reports with caution. The situation remains fluid, and independent verification is necessary to ascertain the accuracy of these claims.
For visual context, here is a video report related to the incident:

Indian Foreign Secretary Says Strikes in Pakistan Aimed at Preventing Further Attacks
Indian Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri stated that India’s recent military action against Pakistan was “measured” and not intended to escalate tensions between the two countries.
In a press briefing following India’s strikes on various locations in Pakistan on Tuesday night, Misri explained that Indian intelligence had received credible information about potential future attacks, prompting pre-emptive action to prevent them.
He said the Indian military targeted “terrorist hideouts” in Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir in retaliation for cross-border attacks.
The Foreign Secretary also blamed Pakistan and Pakistan-trained militants for the recent Pahalgam attack, claiming investigations revealed clear links between the attackers and Pakistan.
He specifically accused the banned militant group The Resistance Front (TRF) of orchestrating the attack. The Indian government considers TRF a proxy of the banned organization Lashkar-e-Taiba. Although a social media post initially claimed TRF was behind the attack, the group later denied involvement.
Misri described the Pahalgam incident as “brutal,” saying it aimed to destabilize the improving situation in Jammu and Kashmir.
Pakistan, however, has denied any involvement in the Pahalgam attack.

Salal Dam: The Second Dam on River Chenab After Baglihar That India Uses to Block Water
Salal Dam is the last point from which India can control the flow of River Chenab before it enters Pakistan.
Located in Indian-administered Kashmir, the Salal Dam has become a point of contention amid ongoing tensions between India and Pakistan.Like the Baglihar Dam, the Salal Dam is also built on the River Chenab. While Baglihar is situated on the upper stretch of the river, the Salal Dam is on the lower section. The two dams are about 46 kilometers apart.
This makes Salal the final point from where India can potentially control the water entering Pakistan.
According to Indian news agency PTI, only one spillway of the Salal Dam is currently open, which has significantly reduced the flow of water towards Pakistan.
• ‘Routine Procedure or Psychological Warfare?’: What is India doing at Baglihar Dam and how much could Pakistan be affected?
• How India’s desire to alter the Indus Waters Treaty turned into a demand for reviewAmit Malviya, head of BJP’s IT cell, shared a video on social media showing the closed spillways of Salal Dam and wrote:
“It takes political will to make tough decisions in India’s interest, and Prime Minister Narendra Modi has demonstrated that through his actions.”However, the Indian government has not officially commented on the matter yet.
What is the Salal Dam Project?
According to news agency ANI, a video shows that after the dam gates were shut, the water level in the Chenab River dropped significantly.
Located in Reasi district of Indian-administered Kashmir, Salal Dam is a rockfill dam about 23 kilometers from the district headquarters.
Salal Dam is a hydroelectric power project that supplies electricity not just to Kashmir but also to Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, Delhi, Himachal Pradesh, Chandigarh, and Rajasthan.
The project generates approximately 690 megawatts and is operated by India’s National Hydroelectric Power Corporation (NHPC), which works under the Indian government.
It is worth noting that among the measures India has taken against Pakistan following the Pahalgam attack is the suspension of the decades-old Indus Waters Treaty, under which India is obligated to allow Pakistan access to the majority of the waters from the Jhelum, Chenab, and Indus Rivers.
Pakistan has repeatedly stated that if India tries to block water that rightfully belongs to it, such an act would be considered “an act of war.”
