3 Terrorists Killed In Encounter In Jammu And Kashmir's Shopian

Security forces eliminated three terrorists in Shopian, Jammu

Srinagar: Three terrorists have been killed in an encounter with security forces in Jammu and Kashmir's Shopian.
Another terrorist could be present in the area. The encounter initially began in Kulgam and then shifted to a forest area in Shopian.
Security personnel of the Army and paramilitary forces have been fighting the terrorists for about two hours now. Security forces intercepted the terrorists following an intelligence input.
The Indian Army posted on X, "On 13 May 2025, based on specific intelligence of a Rashtriyas Rifles Unit, about presence of terrorists in general area Shoekal Keller, Shopian, Indian Army launched a search and destroy Operation.
During the operation, terrorists opened heavy fire and fierce firefight ensued, which resulted in elimination of three hardcore terrorists. Operation is in in progress."

The timing is significant. It comes in the aftermath of Operation Sindoor, India's counterstrike after the Pahalgam terror attack, in which 26 innocents were murdered in cold blood.
India has carried out airstrikes against terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir and warned that any terror attack will now be seen as an act of war and draw a tough response.
In his address to the nation yesterday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said Operation Sindoor has carved out a new benchmark in India's fight against terrorism and set up a "new normal".
"First, if there is a terrorist attack on India, a fitting reply will be given. We will give a befitting response on our terms only.&nbsp; We will take strict action at every place from where the roots of terrorism emerge.
Secondly, India will not tolerate any nuclear blackmail. India will strike precisely and decisively at the terrorist hideouts developing under the cover of nuclear blackmail," he said.
"Thirdly, we will not differentiate between the government sponsoring terrorism and the masterminds of terrorism. During Operation Sindoor the world has again seen the ugly face of Pakistan, when top Pakistani army officers came to bid farewell to the slain terrorists. This is strong evidence of state-sponsored terrorism. We will continue to take decisive steps to protect India and our citizens from any threat," the Prime Minister said.
On May 7, India carried out airstrikes on terror infrastructure in Pakistan and PoK and stressed that its offensive only targeted terrorists with precision.
Pakistan, however, responded with heavy shelling that led to civilian deaths and a barrage of drones and missiles targeted at civilian areas. India's air defence managed to intercept most of the projectiles.
In response, India targeted Pakistan's military installations, including its key airbases, inflicting heavy damage. On May 10, a ceasefire was announced, but Indian armed forces have said they are watching Pakistan closely and any misadventure will prompt action.

Bangladesh airport tightens security following bomb threat

A bomb threat on Biman Bangladesh Airlines flight BG-356, en route from Rome to Dhaka, led to an emergency landing at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport in Dhaka. The flight carrying 250 passengers and 13 crew members was evacuated after the threat.

A bomb threat was reported on a Biman Bangladesh Airlines flight traveling from Rome, Italy, to Dhaka.&nbsp;
The threat was communicated to Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport through an anonymous call.&nbsp;
Group Captain Kamrul Islam, the airport&rsquo;s Executive Director, confirmed the incident to the media.&nbsp;
He stated that flight BG-356 received the bomb threat while en route from Rome to Dhaka.&nbsp;
As a result, the flight made an emergency landing at 9:20 am at Hazrat Shahjalal Airport.&nbsp;
The 250 passengers and 13 crew members were safely evacuated and taken to the terminal.

India faces new challenges and opportunities with US-China tariff suspension. Trade tension easing offers growth in specific Indian sectors.

India Adapts to US-China Tariff Suspension

India encounters challenges and opportunities from US-China tariff suspension. Heightened competition for Indian exporters urged to leverage beneficial sectors.

US-China tariff suspension poses challenges for Indian exports, but offers growth in pharmaceuticals, jewelry, IT. India urged to strengthen trade ties with the US.

A recent decision by the US and China to suspend their tariff hikes for 90 days presents both challenges and opportunities for India, according to exporters.
The two countries have reached an agreement to significantly reduce most of their recent tariffs or import duties for 90 days, as they are in talks to resolve their trade disputes.
US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer has said the US agreed to reduce its 145 per cent tariff on Chinese goods by 115 percentage points to 30 per cent, while China agreed to cut the rates to 10 per cent.
Federation of Indian Export Organisations (FIEO) President SC Ralhan said the announcement reflects a significant thaw in trade tensions between the two largest economies.
"While such developments are broadly positive for global trade stability, they present both challenges and opportunities for India," he said, adding that the reduction in tariffs will likely result in a surge of US-China bilateral trade in high-value segments like electronics, machinery, and chemicals.
This may intensify competition for Indian exporters in markets like Southeast Asia, Africa, and Latin America, where India has recently made inroads, capitalising on US-China trade disruptions, he noted.
However, Ralhan said, India can leverage this shift to strengthen exports in sectors that remain relatively insulated from US-China trade, such as pharmaceutical APIs, gems and jewellery, engineering goods, organic chemicals and IT-enabled services.
"India must proactively engage with the US to secure and expand its preferential trade access, emphasising its role as a reliable alternate sourcing destination," he added.
The temporary nature of the tariff cuts may lead companies to hedge against future volatility by expanding manufacturing in India under the Make in India and PLI schemes, especially in electronics, auto components, and textiles, Ralhan noted.
Another exporter said the Indian government should keep a close watch on imports from China into India.
Commenting on the issue, think tank GTRI said that even though US tariffs on Indian goods remain at 10 per cent, well below the 30 per cent still imposed on Chinese imports, the massive tariff gap that once favoured India is shrinking fast.
"Just months ago, the US imposed duties of up to 145 per cent on Chinese goods, giving India a major edge in attracting companies looking to relocate. Now, that edge has narrowed dramatically, with the US and China easing tensions and bringing tariffs closer to parity," GTRI Founder Ajay Srivastava said.
He added that this shift risks undermining the "China Plus One" strategy that saw firms move manufacturing to India, Vietnam, and Mexico.
"A smart trade deal with the US could help preserve India's 10 per cent tariff access and prevent any hike to the proposed 26 per cent under US President Donald Trump's new country-specific duties. But beyond trade policy, India must urgently cut production costs, overhaul logistics, and improve regulatory predictability. And as it negotiates future FTAs, India must resist pressure to open up sensitive sectors like automobiles and pharmaceuticals without meaningful reciprocal gains," he added.
The US and China are the largest trading partners of India. While China was India's top trading partner from 2013-14 to 2017-18, and also in 2020-21.
After that, Washington replaced Beijing.
The US accounts for about 18 per cent of India's total goods exports and 6.22 per cent in imports, and 10.73 per cent in bilateral trade. On the other hand, China's share is just about 4 per cent in exports and a staggering 15 per cent in imports.
In the last fiscal, India's exports to the US rose by 11.6 per cent to USD 86.51 billion against USD 77.52 billion in 2023-24. The imports were up by 7.44 per cent in 2024-25 to USD 45.33 billion compared to USD 42.2 billion in 2023-24.
The trade surplus with America touched USD 41.18 billion in the last fiscal from USD 35.32 billion in 2023-24.
In the last fiscal, India's exports to China contracted 14.5 per cent year-on-year to USD 14.25 billion. Imports, however, rose by 11.52 per cent in 2024-25 to USD 113.45 billion from USD 101.73 billion in 2023-24.
The trade deficit has widened to USD 99.2 billion in 2024-25.

Bangladesh amends Anti-Terrorism Act to ban support for indicted entities, affecting groups like the recently suspended Awami League.

Bangladesh Enacts Terrorism Support Ban

The revised Anti-Terrorism Act in Bangladesh bans public support for those charged, affecting entities like Awami League amid legal trials.

Bangladesh's new ordinance bans support for terrorism-charged figures, revising the 2009 Anti-Terrorism Act, and extends to entire entities.

Bangladesh has banned the publication or dissemination of statements and any other publicity of individuals or organisations charged under a revised terrorism law, a day after it disbanded deposed prime minister Sheikh Hasina-led Awami League's activities until the trial of its leaders under the same law.
President Mohammed Shahabuddin Sunday night promulgated an ordinance amending the Anti-Terrorism Act which prohibits such activities.
The President signed the draft hours after the Council of Advisers or the interim Cabinet led by Chief Advisor Muhammad Yunus approved the ordinance to amend the Anti-Terrorism Act-2009.
The law ministry later published the Anti-Terrorism (Amendment) Ordinance, 2025.
The revised law prohibits any form of publicity, including press statements, social media content, or public gatherings in support of such individuals or entities.
The development came a day after the interim administration slapped the ban on the Awami League's activities.
The ban will be in place until a special tribunal completes a trial of the party and its leaders over the deaths of people killed during a three-week uprising led by a student platform last year.
It also broadened the scope of restrictions by replacing the previous reference to "listed individuals or banned entities" with a more general phrase: "any individual or entity against whom action has been taken under sub-section (1) of Section 18" of the anti-terrorism law.
Yunus&rsquo;s office earlier said that since there is no provision in the existing Anti-Terrorism Act on the ban of activities of any entity, it was appropriate and necessary to further amend the 2009 law to make it time-befitting.
Hasina&rsquo;s 16-year-long Awami League regime was toppled on August 5 last year in the student-led violent mass uprising, prompting the 77-year-old former prime minister to flee to India.
Three days after her ouster, Yunus took charge as the chief adviser of the interim government.
Hasina and many of her party leaders have been facing hundreds of cases, including those of mass murder and corruption, since then. Most of her party leaders and ministers in her government have either been arrested or fled abroad.

A listeria outbreak in the U.S. linked to Fresh leads to 10 illnesses. FDA investigates and recalls ready-to-eat products. Public urged to discard affected items.

 At least 10 people sickened in US listeria outbreak linked to prepared foods

The recent listeria outbreak in the U.S. has caused at least 10 illnesses, leading to a voluntary recall of Fresh's ready-to-eat products. The FDA, along with other authorities, is investigating the situation to safeguard public health and address food safety concerns.

Listeria outbreak linked to Fresh products prompts recall in U.S. At least 10 illnesses reported. FDA and local authorities investigate.

SAN FERNANDO, Calif. (AP) &mdash; At least 10 people in the U.S. have been sickened in a listeria outbreak linked to ready-to-eat food products, and a producer is voluntarily recalling several products, federal officials said.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration said Saturday that federal, state and local officials are investigating the outbreak linked to foods produced by Fresh &amp; Ready Foods LLC of San Fernando, California. The FDA says the 10 people who fell ill were in California and Nevada, and required hospitalization.
The agency said the products were sold in Arizona, California, Nevada and Washington at locations including retailers and food service points of sale, including hospitals, hotels, convenience stores, airports and by airlines.
Listeria symptoms usually start within two weeks of eating contaminated food. Mild cases can include fever, muscle aches, nausea, tiredness, vomiting and diarrhea, while more severe symptoms may include headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance and convulsions.
Federal officials said they started investigating the recent outbreak last year but didn&rsquo;t have enough evidence to identify a source of the infections. They said the investigation was reopened in April when FDA investigators found listeria in samples collected from Fresh &amp; Ready Foods that matched the strain from the outbreak.
&nbsp;
Fresh &amp; Ready Foods said in a news release that it took immediate corrective actions, including removing equipment to address the issue.
The FDA found that six of the 10 people who got sick had been hospitalized before becoming ill with listeria. The FDA found that items made by Fresh &amp; Ready Foods had been served in at least three of the health care facilities where the patients had been previously treated.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said that the test samples from sick patients were collected from December 2023 to September 2024.
Fresh &amp; Ready voluntarily recalled several products, which can be identified by &ldquo;use by&rdquo; dates ranging from April 22 to May 19 of this year under the brand names Fresh &amp; Ready Foods, City Point Market Fresh Food to Go, and Fresh Take Crave Away.

Taliban-led Afghan govt refutes Pakistan's claim that Indian missile hit Afghanistan

The Taliban-led Afghan government and India have strongly denied Pakistan's claim that an Indian missile struck Afghan territory, calling the allegations baseless and ludicrous.

The Taliban-led government in Kabul on Saturday refuted Pakistan's claim that an Indian missile hit Afghanistan, saying no such incident has taken place.
Afghan Defence Ministry spokesperson Enaitullah Khawarzmi labelled Pakistan's claims as "false", Hurriyat Radio reported.
He said Pakistan's allegations were "unfounded".
"Afghanistan is safe and secure. No such incident has taken place,&rdquo; Khaama Press reported, quoting a spokesperson for the Afghan Ministry of Defence.
India has described Pakistan's allegations as "false" and a "completely ludicrous claim".
Pakistan Army spokesman Lt Gen Ahmad Sharif Chaudhry, early Saturday, claimed that one of the missiles fired by India had landed inside Afghan territory.

India and Pakistan agree to immediate ceasefire, Trump announces

US-mediated talks lead to India and Pakistan agreeing on a full ceasefire, with both nations praising de-escalation efforts amid ongoing tensions.

As tensions between India and Pakistan reached a critical point, US President Donald Trump announced that both nations had agreed to a &ldquo;full and immediate ceasefire.&rdquo;
Taking to Truth Social, Trump claimed that US-led diplomatic efforts helped bring both countries to the table and praised their leadership for choosing a path of de-escalation.
<iframe class="truthsocial-embed" style="max-width: 100%; border: 0;" src="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/114483405683675564/embed" width="600" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
&nbsp;
&ldquo;After a long night of talks mediated by the United States, I am pleased to announce that India and Pakistan have agreed to a FULL AND IMMEDIATE CEASEFIRE. Congratulations to both Countries on using Common Sense and Great Intelligence. Thank you for your attention to this matter!&rdquo; Trump posted.
Supporting this statement, Pakistan&rsquo;s Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar confirmed that both sides had agreed to halt hostilities. &ldquo;Pakistan and India have agreed to a ceasefire with immediate effect. Pakistan has always strived for peace and security in the region, without compromising on its sovereignty and territorial integrity,&rdquo; Dar said.
Just a day earlier, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt addressed US involvement in the crisis during a briefing. She reiterated Washington&rsquo;s focus on defusing the situation, noting that both the Secretary of State and National Security Adviser had been actively engaged with leaders in New Delhi and Islamabad.
&ldquo;This is something that the secretary of state, and now, our national security adviser as well, Marco Rubio, has been very much involved in. The President wants to see this de-escalate as quickly as possible,&rdquo; Leavitt said.
She further emphasized the historic context of the conflict and noted ongoing US communication with both countries to avoid further conflict. &ldquo;He understands these are two countries that have been at odds with one another for decades, long before President Trump was here in the Oval Office. However, he has good relationships with the leaders of both countries and the Secretary of State Marco Rubio, I spoke to him just yesterday. He has been in constant communication with the leaders of both countries, trying to bring this conflict to an end,&rdquo; she added.
When asked about a possible direct conversation between President Trump and the heads of state from India and Pakistan, Leavitt said, &ldquo;If and when that happens, we will certainly let you know.&rdquo;
Earlier in the day, India&rsquo;s Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri addressed the situation in a press briefing. He underlined that Pakistan&rsquo;s actions were being treated as aggressive and unwarranted. &ldquo;The actions being undertaken by Pakistan against India are being seen as &lsquo;escalatory&rsquo; and &lsquo;provocative&rsquo; in nature,&rdquo; Misri said, while also presenting evidence to counter false claims coming from Islamabad.

As India&rsquo;s Operation Sindoor continues to strike and dismantle terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir, Islamabad is facing mounting economic pressure and a collapsing stock market.
In response, the Pakistan government had issued a plea to international partners for financial support and assistance in de-escalating tensions.
The request was initially posted through a verified account on social media platform X, attributed to the Economic Affairs Division, Government of Pakistan.
<img src="https://cdn.editorji.com/681dae7178745_1746775665.png" width="465" height="163">
The post read: "Govt of Pakistan appeals to International Partners for more loans after heavy losses inflicted by enemy. Amid escalating war and stocks crash, we urge international partners to help de-escalate. Nation urged to remain steadfast."
<img src="https://cdn.editorji.com/681dae841b4dd_1746775684.png" width="466" height="274">
However, the account that posted the plea has since been deleted, and it was later claimed that the account had been hacked.
&lt;blockquote class="twitter-tweet"&gt;&lt;p lang="en" dir="ltr"&gt;🚨🚨FAKE TWEET ALERT:&lt;br&gt;The account was hacked ‼️ &lt;a href="https://t.co/NLj9ijM04x"&gt;pic.twitter.com/NLj9ijM04x&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&amp;mdash; Fact Checker MoIB (@FactCheckerMoIB) &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/FactCheckerMoIB/status/1920698282772201710?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw"&gt;May 9, 2025&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
Despite this, Pakistan&rsquo;s dire economic situation remains unchanged, with the country owing approximately USD 8.8 billion to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), making it the fourth-largest debtor to the institution. Stock market indicators have reflected the instability, with the KSE-100 index plummeting over 7,500 points (a 6% drop) since April 23.
Adding to the concerns, global ratings agency Moody's warned that continued escalation of hostilities with India could adversely affect Pakistan&rsquo;s economic growth, fiscal consolidation efforts, and overall macroeconomic stability.
On the military front, tensions escalated further after the Indian Armed Forces successfully repelled a major drone and missile attack on Indian military installations during the night of May 7&ndash;8. The Indian response included targeted strikes on Pakistan's air defence systems.
Speaking at a Ministry of External Affairs briefing on Thursday, Colonel Sofiya Qureshi provided key details of the Indian response: "This morning, the Indian Armed Forces targeted Air Defence Radars and systems at a number of locations in Pakistan. Indian response has been in the same domain with same intensity as Pakistan. It has been reliably learnt that an Air Defence system at Lahore has been neutralised," she said.
"On the night of 07-08 May 2025, Pakistan attempted to engage a number of military targets in Northern and Western India including Awantipura, Srinagar, Jammu, Pathankot, Amritsar, Kapurthala, Jalandhar, Ludhiana, Adampur, Bhatinda, Chandigarh, Nal, Phalodi, Uttarlai, and Bhuj, using drones and missiles. These were neutralised by the Integrated Counter UAS Grid and Air Defence systems. The debris of these attacks is now being recovered from a number of locations that prove the Pakistani attacks."
On the night of May 8&ndash;9, further attempts by Pakistan to launch drone attacks and breach the Line of Control were met with a strong and immediate Indian military response. In an official statement, the Indian Army confirmed the incidents and their actions.
"Pakistan Armed Forces launched multiple attacks using drones and other munitions along the entire Western Border on the intervening night of 08 and 09 May 2025. Pak troops also resorted to numerous ceasefire violations (CFVs) along the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir. The drone attacks were effectively repulsed, and a befitting reply was given to the CFVs. Indian Army remains committed to safeguarding the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Nation. All nefarious designs will be responded with force."
Earlier on Thursday, sources confirmed that the Indian Army had intercepted and neutralised over 50 Pakistani drones as part of a large-scale counter-drone operation conducted along the Line of Control and International Borders.

Pakistan military confirms 11 deaths, 78 injuries among personnel and 40 civilian casualties in the recent conflict with India. Vows a decisive response.

Pakistan on Tuesday said that 11 military personnel were killed and 78 others injured during the recent military confrontation with India.
In a statement, the military also claimed that 40 civilians died and 121 others were injured in the "unprovoked and reprehensible dastardly attacks" by India on the night of May 6-7.
India and Pakistan reached an understanding on Saturday to end the conflict after four days of intense cross-border drone and missile strikes.
While defending the motherland, 11 personnel of Pakistan's armed forces were killed and 78 others were wounded, the Pakistan military said.
The victims from the Pakistan Air Force include Squadron Leader Usman Yousuf, Chief Technician Aurangzeb, Senior Technician Najeeb, Corporal Technician Farooq and Senior Technician Mubashir, it said.
Naik Abdul Rehman, Lance Naik Dilawar Khan, Lance Naik Ikramullah, Naik Waqar Khalid, Sepoy Muhammad Adeel Akbar and Sepoy Nisar were among the army personnel killed in the strikes, it added.
The Pakistan Armed Forces "mounted a resolute response under the banner of 'Marka-e-Haq', delivering precise and notch-up retributive strikes through Operation Bunyanum Marsoos," the statement said.
The military also claimed that 40 civilians, including seven women and 15 children, were killed and 121 others injured in strikes by India on the night of 6-7 May.
In response, the Pakistan Armed Forces "mounted a resolute response under the banner of 'Marka-e-Haq', delivering precise and notch-up retributive strikes through Operation Bunyanum Marsoos," the statement said.
Pakistan's armed forces, together with the people of Pakistan, pay solemn tribute to the deceased civilians and military personnel, it said.
&ldquo;Let there be no ambiguity: any attempt to challenge Pakistan's sovereignty or territorial integrity, ever again, shall be met with a swift, full-spectrum, and decisive response,&rdquo; it said.&nbsp;

Over 250 Virgin Atlantic passengers stuck in Turkey; airline looking for ways to fly them to Mumbai

Over 250 Virgin Atlantic passengers, including Indians, were left stranded at Turkey's Diyarbakir airport for more than 24 hours after a medical diversion caused their London-to-Mumbai flight to land unexpectedly.

More than 250 Virgin Atlantic passengers, including Indians, are stranded at an airport in Turkey for over 24 hours after their Mumbai-bound aircraft from London was diverted to Diyarbakir airport.
Virgin Atlantic on Thursday said it was exploring all options, including operating an alternative aircraft, to fly the passengers to Mumbai.
In a statement, the airline said the VS358 flight from London's Heathrow to Mumbai on April 2 was cancelled due to an urgent medical diversion to Diyarbakir in Turkey.
After landing at the airport, the An A350-1000 aircraft suffered a technical issue, which is being worked on.
"We are actively exploring all options, including the operation of an alternative aircraft, to ensure customers can reach Mumbai as soon as possible," it said.
A stranded passenger told PTI that all of them were sitting on the floor and there were no blankets available.
"Also, there is no vegetarian food available," the passenger said on the condition of anonymity.
In an updated statement, Virgin Atlantic said passengers were being provided with overnight hotel accommodation and refreshments in Turkey.
A passenger posted on X that over 300 Indians and British citizens were trapped in Turkey in an "awful situation."
The user, Hanuman Dass, said his family is among the stranded.

Colombia agrees to accept deported citizens on US military flights following President Trump's tariff threats, sparking criticism across Latin America over harsh deportation practices.

Colombia caves on deportations after Trump threats

Colombia agrees to accept deported citizens on US military flights following President Trump's tariff threats, sparking criticism across Latin America over harsh deportation practices.

Colombia on Sunday backed down and agreed to accept deported citizens sent on US military aircraft, hours after President Donald Trump threatened painful tariffs to punish the defiance to his mass deportation plans.
Colombia's leftist president, Gustavo Petro, had earlier said he would only take back citizens "with dignity," such as on civilian planes, and had turned back two US military aircraft with repatriated Colombians.
Trump, less than a week back in office, responded furiously and threatened sanctions of 25 percent that would quickly scale up to 50 percent against Latin America's fourth largest economy.
Petro initially sought to hit back and impose his own tariffs on US products, but by the end of the volatile Sunday he had backed down.
Colombian Foreign Minister Luis Gilberto Murillo told a late-night news conference that his country had "overcome the impasse" and would accept returned citizens.
A White House statement said that Colombia has agreed to "unrestricted acceptance of all illegal aliens from Colombia returned from the United States, including on US military aircraft, without limitation or delay."
"Today's events make clear to the world that America is respected again," it said.
"President Trump will continue to fiercely protect our nation's sovereignty, and he expects all other nations of the world to fully cooperate in accepting the deportation of their citizens illegally present in the United States."
Trump said he would suspend implementation of the tariffs.
It had been unclear even earlier how quickly Trump could impose tariffs on Colombia, historically one of Washington's closest allies in Latin America, which enjoys a free-trade agreement with the United States.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio, whose wife is Colombian-American, suspended issuance of visas at the US embassy in Bogota and said visas would be revoked to Colombian government officials and their immediate family members.
The White House said the visa measures would stay in place until the first planeload of deportees returns.
Trump also vowed to subject Colombians to greater scrutiny at US airports.
 - Concerns over treatment -
Trump -- who during his campaign said that immigrants were "poisoning the blood" of the United States -- took office with promises to round up and swiftly deport undocumented people.
While some countries including Guatemala have accepted military deportation flights, Trump had faced resistance from Petro, a former guerrilla elected in 2022 as Colombia's first left-wing leader.
"The United States cannot treat Colombian migrants as criminals. I forbid entry to our territory to US planes carrying Colombian migrants," Petro wrote earlier on X.
The Colombian government earlier said it was instead ready to send its presidential plane to the United States to transport the migrants "with dignity."
Petro also said there were 15,600 undocumented Americans living in his country and asked them to "regularize their situation," while ruling out raids to arrest and deport them.
Petro's initial hard-ball tactics infuriated his many critics in the historic US ally.
Former right-wing president Ivan Duque accused Petro of "an act of tremendous irresponsibility" for refusing what he called Colombia's "moral duty" to take back illegal migrants and warned US sanctions would take an "enormous" toll.
 - 'Tied hands and feet' -
Trump's deportation threats have put him on a potential collision course with governments in Latin America, the original home of most of the United States' estimated 11 million undocumented migrants.
Brazil, which is also led by a left-wing president, voiced outrage over treatment by the Trump administration of dozens of Brazilian migrants deported back to their country on Friday.
The migrants, who were deported under a bilateral agreement predating Trump's return, were handcuffed on the flight, in what Brazil called "flagrant disregard" for their basic rights.
Edgar Da Silva Moura, a 31-year-old computer technician who was among the 88 deported migrants, told AFP: "On the plane they didn't give us water, we were tied hands and feet, they wouldn't even let us go to the bathroom."
"It was very hot, some people fainted."
The president of Honduras, Xiomara Castro, called for an urgent meeting of leaders from the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) to take place Thursday in Tegucigalpa to discuss migration following the latest US moves.
While previous US administrations also routinely carried out deportations, the Trump administration has begun using military aircraft, with at least one landing in Guatemala this week.

EU leaders vow to hit back if Trump triggers trade war

EU leaders meeting in Brussels on Monday cautioned that there would be no winners in a trade war with the United States, expressing their readiness to retaliate if President Donald Trump imposes tariffs on the bloc.&nbsp;

EU leaders meeting in Brussels Monday warned there would be no winners in a trade war with the United States, insisting they would hit back if President Donald Trump imposes tariffs.
French President Emmanuel Macron said the European Union must show its muscle if US President Donald Trump makes good on his threat to target the bloc with a volley of tariffs.
"If we are attacked in terms of trade, Europe -- as a true power -- will have to stand up for itself," Macron said.
The leaders of the EU's 27 nations were huddling in the Belgian capital with Britain's prime minister and the head of NATO to discuss efforts to boost Europe's defences faced with an aggressive Russia -- as Trump's demands that American allies spend much more.
But the discussions were overshadowed by the US leader's decision to slap tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China -- with Trump threatening to target EU next.
Poland's Prime Minister Donald Tusk, whose country currently holds the EU presidency, said everything must be done to avoid a "totally unnecessary and stupid" trade war.
Trump has not hidden his enmity for the EU, accusing it of treating the United States "very, very unfairly" on trade.
After slapping levies on his North American neighbours and China, Trump doubled down on Sunday by saying he "definitely" planned to target the EU in future.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said a trade dispute would be "bad for the US, bad for Europe", with transatlantic "cooperation" preferable for both sides.
"We can also react," he added, veering from Germany's traditionally cautious approach to transatlantic trade relations.
"We need America, and America needs us as well," echoed the EU's top diplomat, Kaja Kallas, adding there were "no winners in trade wars".
On Sunday, the European Commission said it would retaliate "firmly" if Trump hit it and decried his sweeping measures against Canada, Mexico and China.
"Tariffs create unnecessary economic disruption and drive inflation. They are hurtful to all sides," a commission spokesman said.
Up until then Brussels had said it hoped to avoid a trade conflict with Trump through negotiation.
Later European Council chief Antonio Costa held a night phone call with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
"Both leaders underscored the importance of the EU-Canada bilateral relationship and confirmed their determination to continue to working together," an EU official said.
Since Trump was re-elected in November, Brussels has been working to diversify its trading partnerships, announcing in recent weeks both a strengthened trade deal with Mexico and the resumption of talks on a free trade deal with Malaysia.
Back in 2018, during his first term, Trump imposed tariffs on European steel and aluminium exports -- leading the EU to respond with its own higher duties.

Two Indian-origin individuals, Vikesh Patel and Asra Hussain Raza, tragically lost their lives in a midair collision between an Army helicopter and an American Airlines jetliner near Washington D.C.

Two Indian-origin persons among victims of US air crash

Two Indian-origin individuals, Vikesh Patel and Asra Hussain Raza, tragically lost their lives in a midair collision between an Army helicopter and an American Airlines jetliner near Washington D.C.

At least two Indian-origin persons are among the 67 people killed in a midair collision between an Army helicopter and a jetliner at Washington's Ronald Reagan National Airport, according to media reports.
Vikesh Patel, a GE Aerospace engineer and Asra Hussain Raza, a Washington DC-based consultant were on the doomed American Airlines flight 5342 that collided with the Army helicopter as it approached the airport on Wednesday night.
Patel, from Greater Cincinnati, had recently switched jobs at the company and was an MRO Transformational Leader who travelled around the country, according to his LinkedIn page.
In a statement to FOX19, Larry Culp, chairman and CEO of GE Aerospace, which is headquartered in Evendale, identified the employee on Thursday night as Patel.
&ldquo;This is a tragedy not only for our industry but also for the GE Aerospace team as one of our cherished colleagues, Vikesh Patel, was onboard the flight,&rdquo; Culp said.
&ldquo;Our hearts are with his family and all those impacted by this horrific accident.&rdquo;
He worked for GE Aerospace for more than a decade in several roles, including Engine Assembly Engineer, Production Planner, Senior Operations Manager, Lean Transformation Coach and most recently Site Leader before his position changed. &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; The collision is the deadliest aviation disaster in the US since 2001. &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Raza, 26, was one of several victims killed, her father-in-law, Dr. Hashim Raza, told CNN. &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; A daughter of Indian immigrants, Raza graduated with honours in 2020 from Indiana University and married her college sweetheart in August 2023, Hashim said. &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Raza was a Washington, DC-based consultant who travelled to Wichita twice a month to work on a turnaround project for a hospital there, her father-in-law said.
She would often call him at the end of his late emergency room shifts to make sure he stayed awake on the drive home, he told CNN. &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; "She went out of her way for everybody,&rdquo; her father-in-law said. &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Raza's husband said his wife texted him that she was about to land, but by the time he got to the airport to pick her up, his life had changed forever. &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;She said, &lsquo;We&rsquo;re landing in 20 minutes,&rsquo;&rdquo; Hamaad Raza said. That was the last thing he heard from his wife. &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;I was waiting and I started seeing a bunch of EMS vehicles speeding past me, like way too many than normal, and two, my texts weren&rsquo;t going through,&rdquo; Hamaad was quoted as saying by NBCwashington. &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;It&rsquo;s just, feels crazy that it happened to us, to be honest,&rdquo; he said. &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;I mean, it&rsquo;s like you see these things happen in the news, you see them happen in other countries. And then, I show up at the airport, and my wife&rsquo;s not responding, and I look on Twitter and I see that it&rsquo;s her flight.&rdquo; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; He said he&rsquo;s been surrounded by loved ones who are all devastated by the tragic and unexpected loss.

US arrests, deports hundreds of 'illegal immigrants': Trump press chief

The Trump administration has launched a large-scale deportation operation, arresting 538 individuals across the U.S. and deporting hundreds. This initiative follows President Trump's promises to crack down on illegal immigration.

US authorities arrested 538 migrants and deported hundreds in a mass operation just days into President Donald Trump's second administration, his press secretary said late Thursday.
"The Trump Administration arrested 538 illegal immigrant criminals," Karoline Leavitt said in a post on social platform X, adding "hundreds" were deported by military aircraft.
"The largest massive deportation operation in history is well underway. Promises made. Promises kept," she said.
Trump promised a crackdown on illegal immigration during the election campaign and began his second term with a flurry of executive actions aimed at overhauling entry to the United States.
On Thursday Newark city mayor Ras J. Baraka said in a statement that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents "raided a local establishment... detaining undocumented residents as well as citizens, without producing a warrant".
The mayor said one of those detained during the raid was a US military veteran, "this egregious act is in plain violation" of the US Constitution.
An ICE post on X said: "Enforcement update ... 538 arrests, 373 detainers lodged".
New Jersey Democratic Senators Cory Booker and Andy Kim said they were "deeply concerned" about the Newark raid by immigration agents.
"Actions like this one sow fear in all of our communities &mdash; and our broken immigration system requires solutions, not fear tactics," they said in a joint statement.
Trump has vowed to carry out "the largest deportation operation in American history," impacting an estimated 11 million undocumented migrants in the United States.
On his first day in office he signed orders declaring a "national emergency" at the southern border and announced the deployment of more troops to the area while vowing to deport "criminal aliens."
His administration said it would also reinstate a "Remain in Mexico" policy that prevailed during Trump's first presidency, under which people who apply to enter the United States from Mexico must remain there until their application has been decided.
The White House has also halted an asylum program for people fleeing authoritarian regimes in Central and South America, leaving thousands of people stranded on the Mexican side of the border.
Earlier in the week the Republican-led US Congress green-lit a bill to expand pretrial incarceration for foreign criminal suspects.
Trump frequently invoked dark imagery about how illegal migration was "poisoning the blood" of the nation, words that were seized upon by opponents as reminiscent of Nazi Germany.

A rain-triggered landslide in Central Java, Indonesia, has killed 18 people and left nine missing. Over 200 rescuers work tirelessly to search thick mud and debris as the area faces continued rainfall and a declared emergency.

Indonesia rescuers search for survivors as landslide kills at least 17

A rain-triggered landslide in Central Java, Indonesia, has killed 18 people and left nine missing. Over 200 rescuers work tirelessly to search thick mud and debris as the area faces continued rainfall and a declared emergency.

Hundreds of rescuers were searching through thick mud and debris to find survivors Wednesday after a rain-triggered landslide in Indonesia killed at least 17 people and left nine missing.
Intense rainfall in a mountainous area near Pekalongan city in Central Java province sparked the landslide on Monday, collapsing bridges and burying cars and houses.
Search and rescue agency Basarnas said in a statement Wednesday that the toll remained unchanged from Tuesday at 17 dead, nine missing and 13 people injured.
But another body was found, Mohammad Yulian Akbar, a local official told AFP later Wednesday, giving a higher toll of 18.
Heavy machinery was deployed to clear road access for search teams and around 200 rescue personnel have been sent to help, Akbar said.
"The focus is to search for the victims," he said, adding that the local government had declared an emergency in the district for two weeks.
The worst hit area was Kasimpar village according to the local official, where the landslide struck a coffee shop and people who were trying to shelter from the rain.
Police, soldiers and volunteers have joined the search alongside rescue workers, which is taking place around 90 kilometres (60 miles) west of the city of Semarang.
But efforts were intermittently suspended Tuesday as heavy rain continued to pound the area.
The weather forecast for the next three days suggests moderate rain that could "cause floods, flash floods and landslides", warned Abdul Muhari, a spokesman for the National Disaster Mitigation Agency (BNPB), on Tuesday.
Indonesia is prone to landslides during the rainy season, typically between November and April.
In November, flooding triggered by intense rains in western Indonesia killed 27 people.
But some disasters caused by adverse weather have taken place outside that season in recent years. Climate change has also increased the intensity of storms, leading to heavier rains, flash floods and stronger gusts.
In May, at least 67 people died after heavy rains caused flash floods in West Sumatra, pushing a mixture of ash, sand, and pebbles from the eruption of Mount Marapi into residential areas.
