India warned Pakistan of potential cross-border flooding due to heavy monsoon rains, marking the first official contact between the rivals in months. The warning, conveyed through diplomatic channels, was described as a humanitarian gesture, not under the 1960 Indus Waters Treaty. This communication follows heightened tensions after recent cross-border military actions. Monsoon rains have caused significant flooding and casualties in both countries, particularly in Pakistan where nearly 800 people have died since June.
