A bomb exploded near a pro-government peace committee office in South Waziristan, Pakistan, killing at least seven and wounding sixteen. The attack occurred in Wana, a former Taliban stronghold, targeting an office opposing the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP). Suspicion falls on the TTP, especially after Pakistan reported killing 54 militants attempting to cross from Afghanistan.

India briefed the Taliban regime about Pakistan's involvement in the Pahalgam attack, seeking international support against cross-border terrorism. The Taliban's acting foreign minister condemned the attack and emphasized the need for accountability. This meeting highlights improving India-Taliban relations amidst escalating tensions between India and Pakistan, primarily due to Pakistan's alleged support for terrorist activities.

Driven by a yearning for equivalence with India, the Pakistani top brass gambled on a terror attack to elicit an unavoidable Indian response. This high-stakes move, however, could prove ruinously expensive

Pakistan's army chief, Gen Asim Munir, delivered a provocative speech urging Pakistanis to uphold the 'two-nation theory,' sparking concerns in India. Intelligence sources view this as a diversionary tactic amid internal security challenges and escalating conflicts with the TTP and Baloch insurgents.

Pakistan received an official warning about a potential Indian military offensive, leading to heightened tensions and claims of airspace violations. Amidst denials of involvement in a terrorist attack and accusations of escalating tensions, both sides face domestic pressures and international calls for dialogue. With authorized operational freedom for forces and family relocations, the risk of conflict looms large.

Following the Pahalgam terrorist attack, Pakistan's response to India's diplomatic measures reveals structural differences. Pakistan's National Security Committee, dominated by the military, contrasts with India's democratic decision-making. Islamabad's denial of involvement and suspension of the Simla Agreement escalate tensions, risking international scrutiny and economic isolation, highlighting a lack of strategic depth.

General Asim Munir’s speeches may target India, but his deeper battle is unfolding at home — against Pakistan’s civilian order. As echoes of General Zia’s Islamist legacy grow louder, Munir’s ambition appears to be more than just strategic posturing. Is Pakistan headed for another military takeover, cloaked in religion and nationalism?

The Pahalgam terror attack has again put the spotlight on Pakistan's role as a state sponsor of terrorism. Pakistan's military-intelligence complex, particularly the ISI, has been orchestrating a network of terror groups, using them as strategic tools. Pakistan's support for terror groups has destabilized not just its neighbors but also countries in Europe. In 2018, ex-prime minister Nawaz Sharif hinted at the state’s involvement in the 2008 Mumbai attacks by Lashkar-e-Taiba.

The Indian government is tightening the noose around the Pakistani nationals after the horrific Pahalgam terrorist attack. In a follow-up to several Pakistanis being sent across the border back home, the tough action is now bleeding into the digital landscape as well, with the Instagram accounts of many Pakistani artists now stand blocked and inaccessible in India.

Pakistan has appointed its current ISI chief, Lt Gen Muhammad Asim Malik, as the new National Security Adviser amidst escalating tensions with India following the Pahalgam terror attack. This marks the first instance of a serving ISI director general holding both crucial positions simultaneously. The notification stated, "Lt Gen Muhammad Asim Malik HI (M), DG (I), shall hold the additional charge of the National Security Adviser, with immediate effect."

The brutal lynching of Laeeq Cheema, an Ahmadi businessman in Karachi, has sparked widespread condemnation, highlighting the systemic persecution faced by Pakistan's Ahmadiyya community. Accused of filming far-right activists, Cheema's death underscores the state-backed bigotry that denies Ahmadis religious freedom.

Following the Pahalgam terror attack, China offers Pakistan diplomatic support but signals limited intervention, prioritizing its own strategic interests. Despite the proclaimed all-weather friendship, Beijing's focus remains on internal stability, managing trade tensions, and de-escalating with India. Pakistan's reliance on China for unconditional support may be a miscalculation, as Beijing balances regional dynamics and its own priorities.

In Karachi, Pakistan, a member of the Ahmadiyya community was fatally beaten by a mob, including members of Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP), who attacked an Ahmadi place of worship. The mob accused the community of violating anti-Ahmadi laws, leading to violence and arrests.

Sometimes, a statement becomes striking not for its originality but for its brutal clarity. Munir's statement was a reaffirmation that Pakistan remains, above all, an ideological project—an Islamic counter-nation to India

A terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, resulted in 28 deaths. Global condemnation poured in, including from Turkey, China, and Pakistan. However, Canada has yet to issue an official statement. Opposition leader Pierre Poilievre condemned the attack. US President Donald Trump assured India of support. Security agencies released sketches of three Pakistani suspects. The Resistance Front claimed responsibility.

The Taliban government in Afghanistan has denounced the recent terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, which resulted in the deaths of 28 civilians. The Afghan Ministry of Foreign Affairs conveyed condolences to the victims' families, emphasizing that such acts jeopardize regional security.

In Jammu and Kashmir, terrorists attacked near Pahalgam. Twenty-eight people died in the assault. The Resistance Front claimed responsibility for the attack. The attack happened during US Vice President JD Vance’s India visit. Attackers demanded victims recite Islamic verses. Some survived by reciting the kalma. Pakistan's military posture and mineral ambitions are under scrutiny.

Pakistan's interior ministry reports over 100,000 Afghans have fled since April due to mass residence permit cancellations. Pakistan labels many Afghans as terrorists. This move strains relations with Afghanistan. Refugees face arrests and harassment. Many Afghans are returning to a homeland they do not know. Pakistan cites security concerns and economic pressures as reasons for the deportations.

In March, Pakistan experienced its deadliest month in over a decade with 335 fatalities due to attacks by Islamist militants and separatist rebels. The Pakistani Taliban (TTP) and Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) were primarily responsible for the violence, which mostly affected Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa regions.
