The Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) has officially announced its disbandment, marking the end of a 40-year armed insurgency against the Turkish state—a conflict that has
Amid escalating tensions between India and Pakistan, sensational reports claiming the destruction of India’s advanced S-400 air defense system have gone viral—but the truth remains shrouded in propaganda. Pakistani media, citing military sources, allege a precision strike by JF-17 jets under “Operation Bunyan-un-Marsoos,” while India’s government dismisses these claims as “baseless misinformation.” With no independent verification and both sides doubling down on conflicting narratives, the incident underscores the fog of war—and the dangerous role of disinformation in modern conflict. Who’s telling the truth? The answer, for now, may lie somewhere in between.
Few countries have faced the kind of security challenges Pakistan did after the 1971 war. Surrounded by regional threats and politically isolated, Pakistan made a choice that would define its future: to develop a nuclear deterrent at any cost. This is the story of how a poor, developing nation secretly built one of the most powerful arsenals in the world—despite sanctions, technology bans, and massive international opposition.
The face of war is changing—from traditional battlegrounds to digital frontiers. In today’s rapidly evolving landscape, artificial intelligence (AI) in warfare is emerging as a transformative force. Nations are integrating smart technologies into defense strategies, reshaping not just how wars are fought, but how they’re perceived, managed, and even deterred.
South Asia has once again arrived at a critical juncture. Following renewed tensions between India and Pakistan, a U.S.-brokered ceasefire agreement has brought temporary calm. But if history is any guide, such truces—while welcome—rarely last without a broader, more inclusive peace framework. The real test lies ahead: Can this be the moment both nations choose dialogue over confrontation?
The English Football Association (FA) has officially announced a ban on transgender women participating in women’s football, effective June 1, 2025. This sweeping policy change will affect all levels of the sport — from professional teams to grassroots leagues — and follows a landmark UK Supreme Court ruling redefining the legal definition of “woman” under British law.
In a sharp escalation of Middle East tensions, the Israeli military has issued urgent evacuation warnings for three key ports in Yemen — Ras Isa, Hodeidah, and Salif — late Sunday night. The move follows Israel’s vow to act independently in defending itself after being excluded from a recent ceasefire agreement between the United States and Yemen’s Houthi rebels.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has proposed resuming direct peace talks with Ukraine, suggesting a meeting in Istanbul on May 15 without preconditions. This initiative comes as Ukraine and its Western allies demand a 30-day unconditional ceasefire, threatening further sanctions if Russia does not comply
In a significant development in the ongoing Gaza conflict, Hamas has announced the imminent release of Edan Alexander, the last known living American hostage held in Gaza. The decision comes as part of early steps toward a potential ceasefire agreement that could bring critical humanitarian relief to the region.
In a world already burdened with global conflicts and uncertainty, the recent India-Pakistan ceasefire has brought a much-needed pause to escalating military tensions. The standoff, marked by missile strikes and high-alert defence postures, had the region bracing for another crisis. But thanks to a timely US-mediated truce, the situation has cooled — at least for now.
