ISLAMABAD: Indian attack on water reservoirs is a blatant violation of international laws, as the intake structure of the Noseri Dam, located on the Neelum River, was targeted at 2 a.m. last night.

They said that targeting water reservoirs is not only a blatant violation of international laws but also against international norms.

Security Sources termed Indian shelling on the Neelum-Jhelum Hydropower Project the worst aggression on Pakistan’s water reservoirs.

Indian shelling damaged the intake gates besides targeting a hydraulic protection unit of the system, they said.

On the other hand, Director General Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry confirmed that 26 Pakistani civilians were martyred and 46 sustained injuries after Indian forces fired missiles at six different locations during the night between May 6 and 7.

Addressing a press conference, the DG ISPR said Indian troops also launched cowardly attacks across the Line of Control (LoC), deliberately targeting civilian populations and places of worships.

“The attacks took place under the cover of darkness and focused mainly on mosques and residential areas, showing the extremist mindset of the Modi-led government,” he said.
