Baloch Activist Alleges Pakistan Airstrike Killed 30, Army Denies Claim

Baloch activist Mir Yar Baloch has posted a video purportedly showing missile debris, alleging that a Pakistani military airstrike killed 30 people. He has called on the US government to impose sanctions on Pakistan and suspend military aid, including F-16 spare parts and weapons programme upgrades. Pakistan's military has denied conducting any airstrike, attributing the deaths to a premature explosion of a vehicle-borne improvised explosive device reportedly being assembled by militants. The conflicting accounts highlight ongoing tensions between Baloch groups and the Pakistani state over alleged military operations in the region.

Omar Abdullah: PoK residents would seek J&K merger if Article 370 were intact

Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah made remarks reflecting on the region's political history, including the 1947 tribal invasion, while paying tribute to his grandfather Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah.

Abdullah stressed the importance of strengthening federalism and democracy in India. He also called for the restoration of Jammu and Kashmir's full statehood, which was downgraded to a Union Territory in 2019. Additionally, he raised concerns about the current national examination frameworks in the country.
