Zia went to London on January 8 for advanced medical care and was admitted to The London Clinic. After being discharged from the clinic, the BNP chairperson moved to her eldest son Tarique Rahman&rsquo;s residence, where she has been receiving treatment.

Bangladesh's ailing former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia on Tuesday returned to the country from London after four months of medical treatment, according to a media report.
Zia went to London on January 8 for advanced medical care and was admitted to The London Clinic. After being discharged from the clinic, the BNP chairperson moved to her eldest son Tarique Rahman&rsquo;s residence, where she has been receiving treatment.
An air ambulance sent by the Qatari emir carrying Khaleda and her two daughters-in-law&mdash;Tarique Rahman&rsquo;s wife, Zubaida Rahman, and the late Arafat Rahman Coco&rsquo;s wife, Syeda Sharmila Rahman&mdash;landed in Dhaka around 10:30 am, bdnews24 reported.
The plane had departed from London&rsquo;s Heathrow Airport at 4:20 pm local time. Tarique had driven his mother to the airport and seen her off, according to Khaleda&rsquo;s private physician, Prof. AZM Zahid Hossain.
The 79-year-old three-time prime minister has long suffered from liver cirrhosis, kidney disease, heart problems, diabetes, and arthritis.

The Imam of Lal Masjid, Abdul Aziz Ghazi, criticizes Pakistan’s stance in a potential conflict with India, urging reflection on internal issues.

Imam Questions Conflict Stance of Pakistan

The Lal Masjid's Imam, Abdul Aziz Ghazi, challenges Pakistan’s stance on a potential India conflict, urging reflection on domestic oppression and internal policies.

Abdul Aziz Ghazi questioned Pakistan's stance on India, urging reflection on internal oppression and comparing it to India&rsquo;s treatment of its Muslims.

Abdul Aziz Ghazi, the Imam of the prominent Lal Masjid in Islamabad, recently made headlines after addressing a gathering in the mosque where he questioned Pakistan's stance in a potential conflict with India. A video of the address has circulated widely on social media platforms, showcasing a surprising reaction from the attendees.
During his speech, Ghazi asked those present to raise their hands if they supported Pakistan in a conflict against India. The response was striking silence. Remarking on the lack of raised hands, the Imam observed, "There are very few, which means many are enlightened now."
Ghazi used the moment to urge Muslims in Pakistan to reconsider their support for the country's actions, asserting that they face greater oppression domestically than elsewhere. "Pakistani forces bomb our own Muslims in Pakistan; India doesn't do that with Indian Muslims,&rdquo; he stated.
He emphasized that the conflict between India and Pakistan is not rooted in religion but more of a community issue, referencing religious teachings that emphasize unity within the community.
Highlighting the internal struggles within Pakistan, Ghazi pointed to the forced disappearances of various groups, including Baloch, Pashtuns, PTI workers, religious clerics, and journalists. He questioned whether such occurrences happen in India, drawing a stark comparison between the two countries.
Reflecting on past events, the Imam discussed the repercussions following the Lal Masjid siege, where Pakistani authorities targeted citizens. "They bombed their people," he remarked, emphasizing the adversity faced by Pakistanis at the hands of their own government.
Ghazi&rsquo;s comments have sparked discussion about the challenges within Pakistan and the complex dynamics of its relationship with neighboring India.

A 21-year-old Indian student has been arrested in the US after trying to scam a 78-year-old woman from North Carolina by posing as a law enforcement officer.
Kishan Kumar Singh, who has been living in the Cincinnati area in Ohio on a student visa since 2024, was arrested on Thursday on charges of attempting to obtain property by false pretenses and exploitation of a disabled or elderly adult.
Guilford County Sheriff&rsquo;s Office (GCSO) said in a statement that its deputies were contacted by the victim, who reported that she was getting phone calls from people claiming to be deputies with the GCSO as well as federal agents.
The victim from Stokesdale in North Carolina was told by callers that her bank accounts were compromised and was pressured into withdrawing a large amount of money for &ldquo;safekeeping.&rdquo; Deputies arrested Singh when he showed up to collect the package as a "federal agent", the statement said.
The callers told the woman that her name had been linked to criminal activity in another part of the country.
Singh is now in the Guilford County Detention Centre under a USD 1 million bond.

US VP JD Vance calls for restraint and urges India-Pakistan cooperation after the Pahalgam attack to prevent regional conflict.

US VP Calls for Restraint Post Pahalgam Attack

Vice President JD Vance urges India to show restraint following the Pahalgam attack, highlighting the importance of India-Pakistan cooperation.

VP JD Vance stresses restraint after the Pahalgam attack, urging India-Pakistan cooperation to prevent escalation amid nuclear tensions.

Vice President JD Vance has said that the US hopes that India will respond to the Pahalgam terrorist attack in a way that does not lead to a "broader regional conflict" and expects Pakistan to "cooperate" with New Delhi to "hunt down" militants sometimes operating from their soil.
Vance made these remarks on Thursday in an interview with Fox News. Vance and his family were in India on a four-day visit when the attack - the worst since the Pulwama strike in 2019 - took place.
"Our hope here is that India responds to this terrorist attack in a way that doesn't lead to a broader regional conflict," Vance said on Fox News's 'Special Report.'
After being asked, "Are you worried about India and Pakistan?" "Well, sure, I'm worried about any time you see a hot spot breaking out, especially between two nuclear powers," Vance said.
"We've obviously been in close contact with our friends in India and Pakistan. Our hope here is that India responds to this terrorist attack in a way that does not lead to a broader regional conflict," the vice president said.
"And we hope, frankly, that Pakistan, to the extent that they're responsible, cooperates with India to make sure that the terrorists sometimes operating in their territory are hunted down and dealt with. That's how we hope this unfolds; we're obviously in close contact. We'll see what happens," Vance said.
Remarks by Vance assume significance amid rising tensions between India and Pakistan in the aftermath of the Pahalgam attack, in which 26 people were killed.
Vance, who was in India last month, had then condemned the attack and expressed solidarity with the victims and their families in a post on X.
The Pahalgam terror attack on April 22, which claimed 26 lives, drew swift and widespread condemnation from global leaders, who expressed solidarity with India and denounced terrorism.
The Resistance Front (TRF), a proxy of the banned Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), claimed responsibility for the attack.
Following the Pahalgam attack, the deadliest in the Valley since the Pulwama strike in 2019, India downgraded diplomatic ties with Pakistan and announced a raft of measures, including suspension of the Indus Water Treaty of 1960 and immediate shutting down of the Attari land-transit post.

The US strongly supports India against terrorism and urges both India and Pakistan to seek a responsible resolution, following Secretary Rubio’s calls with Indian and Pakistani leaders amid heightened tensions.

The United States stands strong with India against terrorism and Prime Minister Narendra Modi &ldquo;has our full support&rdquo;, the State Department said underlining that Secretary of State Marco Rubio urges India and Pakistan to work towards a responsible resolution that maintains long-term peace and regional stability in South Asia.
State Department Spokesperson Tammy Bruce said at a press briefing Thursday that Washington is &ldquo;monitoring closely&rdquo; the situation between India and Pakistan amid rising tensions.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio spoke separately with External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar and Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif Wednesday.
&ldquo;As the President articulated to Prime Minister Modi last week, the United States stands strong with India against terrorism, and Prime Minister Modi has our full support,&rdquo; Bruce said.
Rubio &ldquo;encouraged both countries to work toward a &hellip;responsible resolution that maintains long-term peace and regional stability in South Asia. We continue to be in touch with the governments of both countries, as I mentioned, at multiple levels,&rdquo; Bruce added.
&ldquo;This government is in constant communication. We are asking for a responsible resolution from both parties. And beyond that, there&rsquo;s nothing I can give you, any other details,&rdquo; she said.
The US has encouraged India and Pakistan to de-escalate tensions, reaffirming its commitment to cooperate with Delhi against terrorism and urging Islamabad&rsquo;s cooperation in investigating the &ldquo;unconscionable" Pahalgam terror attack.
In his call with Jaishankar, Rubio expressed his sorrow for the lives lost in the &ldquo;horrific&rdquo; terrorist attack in Pahalgam that had killed 26 civilians.
Rubio &ldquo;reaffirmed the United States&rsquo; commitment to cooperation with India against terrorism. He also encouraged India to work with Pakistan to de-escalate tensions and maintain peace and security in South Asia,&rdquo; a statement issued by Bruce had said.
Jaishankar said in a post on X that he discussed the Pahalgam terrorist attack with Rubio.
&ldquo;Its perpetrators, backers and planners must be brought to justice.&rdquo; In his conversation with Sharif, Rubio spoke of the need to condemn the terror attack on April 22 in Pahalgam and urged Pakistani officials&rsquo; cooperation in investigating "this unconscionable attack."
He also encouraged Pakistan to work with India to de-escalate tensions, re-establish direct communications, and maintain peace and security in South Asia. Rubio and Sharif &ldquo;reaffirmed their continued commitment to holding terrorists accountable for their heinous acts of violence.&rdquo;&nbsp;

Pakistan’s Army Chief, General Munir, issues a warning to India about swift military response amid rising tensions post-Pahalgam attack.

Asim Munir Warns India of Military Response

Gen. Munir warns of a decisive response to any Indian military misadventures as tensions rise. During a field exercise, he emphasized readiness and commitment to peace.

Pakistan's Army Chief, Gen. Munir, warns India of a firm response to any military moves, stressing commitment to peace while observing Exercise Hammer Strike.

Pakistan Army chief Gen. Asim Munir on Thursday warned that any "military misadventure" by India will be met with a "swift, resolute, and notch-up response" as he visited a firing range to witness a high-intensity field training exercise conducted by the armed forces.
His remark comes amid heightened tension between India and Pakistan after the Pahalgam terror attack and Islamabad&rsquo;s apprehension of retaliatory action by New Delhi.
"Let there be no ambiguity: any military misadventure by India will be met with a swift, resolute, and notch-up response,&rdquo; the army chief was quoted as saying by the state-run news agency Associated Press of Pakistan (APP).
"While Pakistan remains committed to regional peace, our preparedness and resolve to safeguard national interests is absolute,&rdquo; he said while addressing troops at the Tilla Field Firing Ranges (TFFR).
Gen. Munir visited the TFFR to witness Exercise Hammer Strike - a high-intensity, field training exercise conducted by Pakistan Army's Mangla Strike Corps, the news agency reported, citing a press release issued by the army's media wing.
The exercise was designed to validate combat readiness, battlefield synergy, and the operational integration of cutting-edge weapon systems under near-battlefield conditions, it said.
A diverse array of advanced capabilities, including multirole fighter aircraft, combat aviation assets, long-range precision artillery, and next-generation field engineering techniques, were employed to simulate conventional battlefield scenarios, it added.
Pakistan warned on Wednesday that the next 36 hours would be critical due to the threat of Indian action.
However, the US secretary of state called leaders of both countries and urged them to cooperate to defuse the tension while following restraint.

Donald Trump jokes that he'd like to be the next pope

U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday joked that he would like to succeed Pope Francis, who died last week at the age of 88. Trump, asked about whom he'd like to see become the next Catholic pontiff, told reporters: "I'd like to be pope. That would be my No. 1 choice." 

U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday joked that he would like to succeed Pope Francis, who died last week at the age of 88. Trump, asked about whom he'd like to see become the next Catholic pontiff, told reporters: "I'd like to be pope."

Washington: &nbsp;U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday joked that he would like to succeed Pope Francis, who died last week at the age of 88.
 Trump, asked about whom he'd like to see become the next Catholic pontiff, told reporters: "I'd like to be pope. That would be my No. 1 choice."&nbsp;
Trump noted he actually had no preference, adding, "I must say, we have a cardinal that happens to be out of a place called New York who&rsquo;s very good, so we&rsquo;ll see what happens.&rdquo;&nbsp;
Cardinal Timothy Dolan, archbishop of New York, is not on the short list of possible contenders for the top spot, but it does include another American, Cardinal Joseph Tobin, archbishop of Newark, New Jersey.
There has never been a pope from the U.S. Trump and his wife Melania traveled to Rome last weekend to attend the funeral of the first pontiff from Latin America.
 The two men had exchanged criticisms over a decade, mostly related to the pope's plea for compassion for migrants, a group Trump has repeatedly sought to deport.
 About 135 Catholic cardinals will soon be tasked with entering a secret conclave to choose the next pope, with no clear frontrunner in sight.

After leading the Liberals to victory, Prime Minister Mark Carney pledged to defeat Donald Trump’s trade war, aiming to strengthen Canada’s economy and sovereignty.

Carney's Liberals win Canada election defined by Trump

After leading the Liberals to victory, Prime Minister Mark Carney pledged to defeat Donald Trump&rsquo;s trade war, aiming to strengthen Canada&rsquo;s economy and sovereignty.

Prime Minister Mark Carney pledged Tuesday to beat the United States in Donald Trump's trade war, after winning Canada's election and leading his Liberal Party to another term in power.
Following a campaign dominated by Trump's tariffs and annexation threats, Carney promised to chart "a new path forward" in a world "fundamentally changed" by a United States that is newly hostile to free trade.
"We are over the shock of the American betrayal, but we should never forget the lessons," said Carney, who led the central banks of Canada and Britain before entering politics earlier this year.
"We will win this trade war and build the strongest economy in the G7," he said.
Carney's Liberals secured control of Canada's parliament but may fall just short of a majority.
That will require making deals with smaller parties but still marks an extraordinary comeback for the Liberals, who at the start of the year looked headed for an electoral wipeout.
Pierre Poilievre's Conservative Party had been on track to win the vote but Trump's attacks, combined with the departure of unpopular former prime minister Justin Trudeau, transformed the race.
Carney, who replaced Trudeau as prime minister just last month, convinced voters that his experience managing economic crises made him the ideal candidate to defy Trump.
Poilievre fell short of becoming prime minister, but his party was on track to form a strong opposition.
He conceded defeat on Tuesday and promised to work with the Liberals to counter Trump.
"We will always put Canada first," Poilievre told supporters in Canada's capital.
"Conservatives will work with the prime minister and all parties with the common goal of defending Canada's interests and getting a new trade deal that puts these tariffs behind us while protecting our sovereignty."
 - 'We are Canada' -
When the Liberal win was announced, cheers of joy erupted at the Ottawa venue where Liberal supporters were watching the results.
"I'm happy in the sense that we've got somebody that can speak to Mr. Trump on his level," said Dorothy Goubault, 72.
"Mr. Trump is a business person. Mr. Carney is a business person, and I think they can both relate."
Before Trudeau resigned, Trump had mocked him, calling the prime minister "governor" as he urged Canada to become the 51st US state.
Goubault said she expects that mockery to stop.
"It's not the governor anymore, it's the prime minister of Canada, and it's not the 51st state anymore. It's 'We are Canada!'"
Liberal lawmaker and a member of Carney's cabinet, Steven Guilbeault, tied the outcome to Trump.
"The numerous attacks by President Trump on the Canadian economy, but not just the economy, on our sovereignty and our very identity, have really mobilized Canadians, and I think they saw in Prime Minister Carney someone who has experience on the world stage, someone who has experience with the economy," he told the CBC.
Carney led the Bank of Canada through the 2008-2009 financial crisis and headed the Bank of England through the turmoil surrounding the 2016 Brexit vote.
 - Trudeau's departure -
Trudeau's departure was crucial to the Liberal win, which capped one of the most dramatic turnarounds in Canadian political history.
On January 6, the day Trudeau announced he would resign, the Conservatives led the Liberals by more than 20 points in most polls, as public anger over soaring costs mounted after Trudeau's decade in power.
Carney distanced himself from Trudeau throughout the campaign.
He said the former prime minister did not focus enough on growing Canada's economy and scrapped a controversial Trudeau tax on carbon emissions that left many voters seething.
For Poilievre, a 45-year-old who has been in parliament for two decades, the outcome marks a stinging defeat.
He was criticized for the at-times muted anger he directed towards Trump, but said he wanted to keep the focus on domestic concerns.
He tried to persuade voters that Carney would simply offer a continuation of the failed Liberal governance, an argument that fell short.
At the Conservative watch party in Ottawa, Jason Piche told AFP he was surprised by the result.
"I was hoping to have a big celebration tonight," Piche said.

The US Embassy in Pakistan warns Americans to avoid conflict areas amid India’s anti-terror operation. Increased military activity and airspace closures prompt caution.

US Embassy Warns Americans in Pakistan

Amid India's military operations in Pakistan, the US Embassy issues a security alert. American citizens are advised to steer clear of conflict zones and adhere to travel advisories.

US Embassy warns Americans in Pakistan amid rising tensions after India's Operation targeting terror sites.

The US Mission in Pakistan on Wednesday issued a security alert advising American citizens to leave areas of active conflict, saying it is "closely monitoring developments" following Operation Sindoor launched by India targeting terror infrastructure in Pakistan.
The security alert, titled &lsquo;Military Activity and Closed Airspace,&rsquo; said, &ldquo;We are aware of reports of military strikes by India into Pakistan. This remains an evolving situation, and we are closely monitoring developments.
"US citizens are reminded of the 'Do Not Travel' advisory for areas in the vicinity of the India-Pakistan border and the Line of Control due to terrorism and the potential for armed conflict, and the US Department of State&rsquo;s 'Reconsider Travel' advisory for Pakistan generally,&rdquo; the alert said.
&ldquo;We are also aware that airspace has been closed, and many flights have been cancelled,&rdquo; it added.
Through the alert, the US Embassy and Consulates in Pakistan advised American citizens to "depart areas of active conflict if they can safely do so or to shelter in place.&rdquo; It said that US citizens should exercise caution and &ldquo;leave the area if you find yourself unexpectedly in the vicinity of military activities, shelter in place if they cannot relocate, review personal security plans, keep a low profile and be aware of surroundings, and carry identification and cooperate with authorities." In March, the US State Department issued a travel advisory to reconsider travel to Pakistan "due to terrorism and the potential for armed conflict&rdquo;.
"Do not travel to Balochistan Province and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Province, which include the former Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), due to terrorism and to the immediate vicinity of the India-Pakistan border and the Line of Control due to terrorism and the potential for armed conflict,&rdquo; the advisory stated.
India launched &lsquo;Operation Sindoor,&rsquo; targeting terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir in a strong response to the terror attack in Pahalgam. The April 22 attack, carried out by the terrorist organization The Resistance Front, killed 26 civilians.
&ldquo;India has credible leads, technical inputs, testimony of the survivors, and other evidence pointing towards the clear involvement of Pakistan-based terrorists in this attack,&rdquo; the Indian Embassy in Washington had said in a statement.
&ldquo;India&rsquo;s actions have been focused and precise. They were measured, responsible, and designed to be non-escalatory in nature. No Pakistani civilian, economic, or military targets have been hit. Only known terror camps were targeted," it had said.

Pak PM Sharif terms Indian missile strikes on terror targets as 'act of war', vows to respond

Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif condemns Indian missile strikes on terror targets in PoK and Punjab, calling it an 'act of war.' Pakistan vows strong retaliation, including closing airspace, following the strikes and the Pahalgam terror attack.

Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif condemns Indian missile strikes on terror targets in PoK and Punjab, calling it an 'act of war.' Pakistan vows strong retaliation, including closing airspace, following the strikes and the Pahalgam terror attack.

Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif early Wednesday termed the Indian missile strikes on terror targets in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir and Punjab province as an "act of war" and said his country has every right to give a "befitting reply."&nbsp;
In retaliation for the Pahalgam terror attack, Indian armed forces carried out missile strikes early Wednesday, hitting terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and PoK from where terrorist attacks against India have been planned and directed, the Indian Army said.
Pakistan Army spokesman Lt Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry said at least eight people were killed and 35 others injured in Indian missile attacks on cities in Punjab and PoK, Geo News reported.
Army spokesman Chaudhry, in an earlier morning press conference statement, said that a total of 24 impacts have been reported by India, with different weapons, in six localities.
&ldquo;In these six localities, eight Pakistanis have been killed, 35 have been injured and two are missing,&rdquo; he said.
He said that in Bahwalpur&rsquo;s area of Ahmedpur East, Subhan mosque was targeted. &ldquo;Here, there were four strikes and five Pakistanis were killed, including a three-year-old girl. Thirty-one civilians have been injured, including 25 men and six women,&rdquo; he said.
He said the mosque was destroyed, while four quarters in which people were living were also destroyed.
He said that in Muzaffarabad, the Bilal mosque was targeted.
&ldquo;There were seven impacts, in which one girl was injured and a mosque was destroyed,&rdquo; he said. While in Kotli, Abbat mosque was targeted.
&ldquo;There were five impacts and two people died, including a 16-year-old girl and an 18-year-old boy. A woman and her daughter are both injured,&rdquo; he said.
He also said, "In Muridke, Umalkura mosque was targeted and there were four strikes. One man has been killed, while another is injured. Two people are missing,&rdquo; he said.
The spokesman said a mosque has been destroyed and potters have sustained economic damages.
&ldquo;In Sialkot district, in the village of Kotki Lohara, there were two strikes,&rdquo; he added.
"One missile misfired, while one fell in an open field. There was no damage.&rdquo; &ldquo;Near Shakargarh, there were two strikes with no damage. There was minor damage to a dispensary,&rdquo; he said.
Prime Minister Sharif said that India carried out attacks at five places in Pakistan. "Pakistan has every right to give a befitting reply to this act of war imposed by India, and a strong response is indeed being given,&rdquo; Sharif said in a statement.
Sharif said his armed forces &ldquo;know very well how to deal with the enemy".
"We will never let the enemy succeed in its nefarious objectives,&rdquo; he added.
The Prime Minister has summoned a meeting of the National Security Council at 10 am.
Pakistan has closed its airspace for all air traffic for 48 hours.
Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar termed the Indian strikes as a "flagrant violation" of Pakistan&rsquo;s sovereignty, the UN Charter &amp; international law.
"It has jeopardised regional peace,&rdquo; he said in a statement on X.
In a statement, the Foreign Office termed the strikes by the "Indian Air Force, while remaining within Indian airspace," as an "unprovoked and blatant act of war".
&ldquo;We will respond with full force. We will pay off this debt in the manner such debt is paid,&rdquo; Defence Minister Khawaja Asif told Geo News.
He said Pakistan's response would be both kinetic and diplomatic, and it would not take long to retaliate to the Indian attack.
"All places are open for the international media to verify if they targeted terrorists&rsquo; camps or civilians,&rdquo; he said.
Officials said that the Indian strikes targeted five places in Kotli, Muzaffarabad, and Bagh in PoK and in the Bahawalpur and Muridke areas of Punjab.
India launched air strikes on the Subhanullah mosque in Bahwalpur's Ahmed East area, Kotli and Muzaffarabad at three places from the air, the army spokesman told ARY News channel.
"All of our air force jets are airborne. This cowardly and shameful attack was carried out from within India's airspace. They were never allowed to come and intrude into the space of Pakistan,&rdquo; he said.
&ldquo;Let me say it unequivocally: Pakistan will respond to this at a time and place of its own choosing. This heinous provocation will not go unanswered,&rdquo; he added.
This "temporary happiness" that India has achieved with this attack will be replaced with enduring grief, he said.
Ties between India and Pakistan plummeted following the Pahalgam terror attack on April 22 that killed 26 people, mostly tourists.
India announced a raft of punitive measures against Pakistan, including the suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty, shutting down of the only operational land border crossing at Attari and downgrading of diplomatic ties following the terror attack.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi had told the top defence brass that the armed forces have &ldquo;complete operational freedom&rdquo; to decide on the mode, targets and timing of India&rsquo;s response to the attack.&nbsp;

I just hope it ends very quickly: Donald Trump on India's military strikes on terror infra in Pakistan

Asked if he has any message for the countries, he said, &ldquo;No, I just hope it ends very quickly.&rdquo; In retaliation against the Pahalgam terror attack, Indian armed forces carried out missile strikes on nine terror targets in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) including Bhawalpur, a stronghold of the Jaish-e-Mohammad terror outfit.
The military strikes were carried out under 'Operation Sindoor', the defence ministry said.
India's actions came two weeks after the Pahalgam terror attack triggered widespread outrage in India and abroad.
"These steps come in the wake of the barbaric Pahalgam terrorist attack in which 25 Indians and one Nepali citizen were murdered," the Defence Ministry said in the statement.
"We are living up to the commitment that those responsible for this attack will be held accountable," it said.&nbsp;

Ukraine Drone Attack Shuts Moscow Airports

An overnight Ukrainian drone attack on Moscow led to temporary airport closures, with 19 drones intercepted. Despite official denials, reports suggest a drone hit an apartment. Ukraine justifies attacks on Russia's military infrastructure.

Ukraine launched an overnight drone attack on Moscow, briefly closing its airports. 19 drones were intercepted with no casualties. Reports suggest a drone struck an apartment. Kyiv has not commented yet.

In a continuous escalation of hostilities, Ukraine launched a second consecutive overnight drone attack on Moscow, leading to the temporary closure of all airports within Russia's capital, according to local officials. Moscow's mayor, Sergei Sobyanin, reported that at least 19 Ukrainian drones were intercepted and destroyed as they approached from multiple directions, averting major damage or casualties.
In response to the threat, Russia&rsquo;s aviation authority, Rosaviatsia, announced the suspension of flights at all four airports serving Moscow for several hours overnight to maintain air safety. Additional airport closures were reported in various regional cities.
Despite Moscow's official denials of casualties or significant destruction, three prominent Telegram channels linked to Russian security services&mdash;Bazaar, Mash, and Shot&mdash;reported a drone had hit an apartment building in southern Moscow, shattering windows along a major thoroughfare. There have been no verified reports of injuries.
Ukraine has yet to officially comment on these incidents. Meanwhile, a CNN report highlighted ongoing Russian drone strikes in Ukraine's Kharkiv and Kyiv regions, citing the governor of Ukraine's Odesa region, Oleh Kiper, who reported one fatality from such an attack.
These drone offensives on Moscow occur as the city prepares to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the Soviet Union's victory over Nazi Germany in World War Two. Russian President Vladimir Putin had previously declared a three-day ceasefire from May 8-10 to honor the event. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy criticized the measure, suggesting an unconditional 30-day ceasefire, aligning with a U.S.-backed proposal from March.
This marks the second consecutive night Russia has claimed Ukrainian drone attacks. On Monday, Russia&rsquo;s defense ministry reported the destruction of 26 Ukrainian drones. Since the commencement of the conflict over three years ago, Kyiv has mounted several drone offensives on Moscow, the most significant in March resulting in three fatalities.
Meanwhile, in Russia's southwest Voronezh region, bordering Ukraine, the local governor noted the destruction of 18 drones, which led to minor damage to a non-residential building and a children&rsquo;s playground. Over the southern Pena region, Russian air defenses destroyed 10 additional drones, with no reported injuries or damage, according to a regional Telegram update.
The complete impact of the recent wave of drone attacks on Moscow and the wider Russian territory remains uncertain, with no immediate response from Kyiv regarding the latest developments. Ukraine justifies its drone campaigns as targeting infrastructure critical to Russian military operations and countering ongoing Russian strikes on Ukrainian residential areas and essential energy facilities.
