The 2025 Pakistan floods were a series of devastating floods triggered by heavy pre-monsoon rains in June 2025 and continuing throughout the monsoon season into September. The disaster primarily affected Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Punjab, Sindh, Balochistan and Azad Kashmir, causing widespread casualties, infrastructure damage, and mass displacement. The Swat Valley and large parts of Punjab were among the worst-hit areas.

As of 17 September 2025, over 1,000 people had been killed and over 1 million were affected nationwide. By 10 September, another spell of monsoon raised the numbers to 4.225 million affected, 1.8 million displaced, and another 46 killed. The NDMA, provincial governments, the Pakistan Armed Forces, and various NGOs launched large-scale rescue and relief operations in response.

Since the unilateral suspension of IWT on 23 April 2025, India used diplomatic channels to inform Pakistan of the floods instead of the Permanent Indus Commission as stated in the treaty.
