Pakistan’s security forces successfully ended a military operation against the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA), a separatist group that hijacked the Jaffar Express train in Balochistan, rescuing 346 passengers. The train, traveling from Quetta to Peshawar, was attacked near Sibi city, with the BLA claiming responsibility. After over a day of combat, security forces killed all 33 attackers but also reported 21 passenger deaths and four paramilitary casualties. The BLA demanded the release of Baloch political prisoners, but no official response was given. Balochistan, Pakistan’s largest but least developed province, has seen increased violence, with the BLA growing more substantial due to advanced weaponry and local support.
The recent engagement between former US President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has significantly altered the global diplomatic landscape, intensifying tensions among the US, its European allies, and Ukraine.

The meeting with Zelensky—formerly emblematic of robust US - Ukraine relations—has raised alarms regarding Washington's shifting strategic priorities. Trump publicly scrutinized Kyiv's leadership and echoed narratives similar to those espoused by the Kremlin. This realignment poses substantial implications for the trajectory of the Ukraine conflict and could fundamentally reshape the global order.

Now, he's out in the cold, abandoned by his closest allies and maligned by his opponents as Canada, too, joins the global anti-incumbent mood.
