Authorities evacuated over 150,000 people due to swollen rivers from heavy monsoon rains and dam water releases in Punjab, with army aid and relief supplies mobilized for affected districts.
- Heavy monsoon rains and flash floods have caused deaths and widespread flooding in Pakistan and Indian-controlled Kashmir in August 2025.
- The flooding was caused by unusually heavy monsoon rains coupled with the discharge of water from dams in India and increased river levels in Punjab province.

- The recent events raise concerns about repeating the 2022 disaster that killed 1,739 people, with relief supplies and tents being distributed to those affected while India alerted Pakistan of cross-border flooding through diplomatic channels.
