Militants kill at least 6 Pakistan soldiers near Afghan border  

Militants kill at least 6 Pakistan soldiers near Afghan border  

Published by Sam

Islamabad —  Militant attacks against security outposts in Pakistan’s northwestern border region Friday resulted in the deaths of at least six soldiers and injuries to 14 others, while 12 assailants were killed in return fire. The predawn clashes occurred in militancy-hit districts of South Waziristan and neighboring North Waziristan bordering Afghanistan. The wounded include at least four soldiers who were described as “seriously injured.” Multiple local security officials confirmed the casualties to VOA on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media. The Pakistani military’s media wing later released a statement confirming the fatalities of both militants and troops but did not mention any injuries suffered by the soldiers during the two attacks. The statement reported that a group of militants attacked a security outpost in South Waziristan, triggering an “intense exchange of fire” between the two sides, resulting in the death of six personnel and five assailants. The military stated that seven militants were killed while attempting to “infiltrate” the border from the Afghan side in North Waziristan. They …

Gunfight with militants near Afghan border kills 3 troops

Published by skeptic

ISLAMABAD —  Pakistan reported Monday that at least three soldiers had been killed in clashes with militants attempting to cross over from Afghanistan. A military statement said that Pakistani forces had intercepted the predawn infiltration attempt in the Bajaur border district and “effectively engaged and thwarted” it. The ensuing intense gunfight also killed five assailants and wounded several others, it added. The reported militant casualties could not be immediately confirmed by independent sources, nor were there any claims of responsibility for the attempted incursion. However, the military blamed fugitive militants associated with Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), a globally designated terrorist organization, for carrying out the attack from their bases on the Afghan side of the border. “Pakistan has consistently been asking [the] interim Afghan government to ensure effective border management on their side of the border,” the military stated, referring to the neighboring country’s de facto Taliban rulers. A gunfight with militants in the Bajaur border district on Aug. 19, 2024, killed three Pakistani soldiers, as well as five assailants, Pakistan said. The statement renewed Islamabad’s …

Cricket began in the United States earlier than in any other part of the world, according to archived references. Now, the sport is making its way back to the US by handing it the co-hosting rights for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024. Lining up under the country’s stars and stripes flag will be 15 men who call the US home, but come from diverse backgrounds.

India vs Pakistan T20 World Cup clash prompts New York to beef up security | ICC Men’s T20 World Cup News

State governor says there are no ‘credible threats’ to the tournament or the India-Pakistan match on June 9. Security arrangements in New York will be “elevated” for the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup, especially ahead of the marquee clash between India and Pakistan at Eisenhower Park in Long Island, the state’s governor has said. The South Asian rivals are set to meet at the Nassau County Stadium in Eisenhower Park, Long Island on June 9 in a Group A fixture that is expected to be a sellout, attracting tens of thousands of cricket fans to New York. “In preparation for the @cricketworldcup, my team has been working with federal & local law enforcement to keep attendees safe,” Governor Kathy Hochul wrote in a post on X on Wednesday but added that there was “no credible threat at this time”. Hochul said she had asked the state police to elevate security measures and the state will “continue to monitor” them in the lead-up to the tournament.

Wife of Pakistan’s Imran Khan Moved to Jail on Her Request, Lawyer Says

Wife of Pakistan’s Imran Khan Moved to Jail on Her Request, Lawyer Says

Published by skeptic

ISLAMABAD (Reuters) -A court in Pakistan granted a request on Wednesday by the wife of former Prime Minister Imran Khan to be moved to jail, her lawyer said, instead of the house arrest ordered by the government. In her petition to the Islamabad High Court, Bushra Bibi had accused authorities of violating her privacy and serving contaminated food in her home cell, which she and her lawyers said was dominated by men, a charge the prison staff has denied. Bibi says she has been detained in one room at Khan’s hilltop mansion in Islamabad since the couple’s January conviction on charges of illegally selling state gifts. Through her lawyers Bibi had asked to be shifted to jail, which authorities complied with shortly after the court issued the order, her party and a local administration official Afzaal Ahmad said. The court ordered authorities to shift her to Adyala jail in the garrison city of Rawalpindi, where Khan, 70, a former cricket superstar, is serving his 14-year sentence, his party said in a statement.

‘Our culture is dying’: vulture shortage threatens Zoroastrian burial rites | Pakistan

‘Our culture is dying’: vulture shortage threatens Zoroastrian burial rites | Pakistan

Published by skeptic

Traditional Zoroastrian burial rites are becoming increasingly impossible to perform because of the precipitous decline of vultures in India, Iran and Pakistan. For millennia, Parsi communities have traditionally disposed of their dead in structures called dakhma, or “towers of silence”. These circular, elevated edifices are designed to prevent the soil, and the sacred elements of earth, fire and water, from being contaminated by corpses. Bodies are placed on top of the towers, where they decompose, while vultures and other scavengers eat the flesh on the bones. After being bleached by the sun and wind for up to a year, the bones are collected in an ossuary pit at the centre of the tower. Lime hastens their gradual disintegration, and the remaining material, along with rainwater runoff, filters through coal and sand before it is washed out to sea. “We are no longer able to fulfil our traditions,” Hoshang Kapadia, a Karachi resident in his 80s, said. “We’ve lost a way of life, our culture.” Kapadia explained that the purpose behind the Parsi burial customs was …

China carries Pakistan into space

China carries Pakistan into space

Published by skeptic

islamabad —  Pakistan on Friday witnessed the launch of its first lunar satellite aboard China’s historic mission to retrieve samples from the little explored far side of the moon in a technologically collaborative mission that signals deepening ties between the countries. China’s largest rocket, a Long March-5, blasted off from the Wencheng Space Launch Center on Hainan Island at 09:27 UTC, ferrying China’s 8-metric-ton Chang’e-6 probe. If successful, the uncrewed mission will make China the first country to retrieve samples from the moon’s largely unexplored South Pole, also known as the “far side” of the moon that is not visible from Earth. Chang’e-6 will spend 48 hours digging up 2 kilograms of surface samples before returning to a landing spot in Inner Mongolia. In 2018, China achieved its first unmanned moon landing on the far side with the Chang’e-4 probe, which did not retrieve samples. India became the first country to land near the moon’s South Pole in August with its Chandrayaan-3. Chang’e-6 is carrying cargo from Pakistan, Italy, France and the European Space Agency. …
