31 suspected rebels killed in India’s ‘biggest ever operation’ against decades-old Maoist insurgency
NEW DELHI — Indian police have killed 31 suspected Maoist rebels in what is being described as the “biggest ever operation” against the long-running insurgency.Security forces spent 21 days attempting to capture the rebels along the border of the states of Chhattisgarh and Telangana in central India, Home Minister Amit Shah said Wednesday.Describing the operation as a “historic breakthrough,” Shah said security forces carried out the “biggest ever operation” against the rebels, killing 31 of them in Karreguttalu Hill, considered a Maoist stronghold.Indian authorities have been battling Maoist rebel groups, also known as Naxals, across several central and northern states since 1967. Inspired by Chinese revolutionary leader Mao Zedong, insurgents have over the decades launched...

Derek Wang spent almost half a million dollars setting up his company
Relief on China's factory floors as US tariffs put on hold
BEIJING — There's a vast empty space in the middle of the factory floor in Foshan in southern China where workers should be welding high-end air fryers for the US market.Derek Wang says his American customers were wowed by his air fryer models — which are controlled via smartphones and can also bake, roast and grill.But then on 2 April, Donald Trump's "Liberation Day" tariffs hit all Chinese goods entering the US, eventually reaching 145% — and his clients asked him to pause production."I tried to keep smiling through my anxiety for the sake of my 40 workers," he told the BBC.On Wednesday, as a deal to ease the trade war came into effect, Wang said his US buyers were back on the phone.Both countries still face some tariffs. There is at least a 30% tax on...

A Kashmir resident looks at his damaged home in Salamabad, near the Line of Control, in India-administered Kashmir on May 8, 2025
Divided by a border, united by fear: Kashmiris pick up the pieces after India-Pakistan step back from the brink
MUZAFFARABAD — Mohammad Iqbal was working the night shift at a power plant when he got a frantic call from his family saying artillery shells were exploding around their home.“I told them all to hunker down in one room together on the ground floor and hopefully things would become okay by morning,” he told CNN.But dawn brought no relief from the shelling that would continue for four days as India and Pakistan fought their most intense conflict in decades, raising fears of an all-out war.Iqbal, 47, lives near the town Poonch in India-administered Kashmir, a stone’s throw from the de-facto border with Pakistan, an area of pine-clad foothills and flowery meadows, backdropped by towering, icy peaks.But the idyll is illusory – Kashmir is one of the world’s most militarized regions...

The Jeju Air plane belly-landed at Muan International Airport without its landing gear deployed on 29 December
Plane crash victims' families file complaint against Jeju Air CEO
SEOUL — Some families of those killed in a Jeju Air plane crash last December have filed a criminal complaint against 15 people, including South Korea's transport minister and the airline's CEO, for professional negligence.The 72 bereaved relatives are calling for a more thorough investigation into the crash, which killed 179 of the 181 people on board - making it the deadliest plane crash on South Korean soil.The crash was "not a simple accident", they allege, but a "major civic disaster caused by negligent management of preventable risks".Nearly five months on, authorities are still studying what may have caused the plane to crash-land at Muan International Airport and then burst into flames.The police had already opened a criminal investigation before this...

Ousted Bangladesh PM Sheikh Hasina’s party barred from election
DHAKA — Bangladesh’s Election Commission has canceled the registration of the former ruling party of ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, preventing it from participating in the next national election, the Associated Press reported.

Xi’s speech comes a day after the US and China announced they would drastically roll back tariffs on each other’s goods for an initial 90-day period
Bullying only leads to self-isolation, Xi says day after US-China tariff truce
HONG KONG — Chinese leader Xi Jinping says “bullying” and “hegemonism” will only backfire, in a veiled reference to the United States just a day after a temporary truce was agreed in the trade war between the world’s two largest economies.Xi chose to deliver this message, which paints China as a global leader and defender of free trade, at a summit of Latin American and Caribbean officials — including the presidents of Brazil, Colombia and Chile — in Beijing on Tuesday. The region has become increasingly caught in the middle of a tussle for influence between the US and China for influence.“There are no winners in tariff wars or trade wars. Bullying or hegemonism only leads to self-isolation,” Xi said, reiterating a warning he has made throughout the trade showdown with...

Donald Trump announced a ceasefire at the weekend
Trump's mediation offer on Kashmir puts India in a tight spot
NEW DELHI — For decades, if there's one thing that's been a taboo in the Indian foreign ministry, it is third-party mediation — particularly in the long-running dispute with Pakistan over Kashmir.Those in the know, then, are not surprised that US President Donald Trump — known for his unorthodox diplomacy — has touched a raw nerve in Delhi.On Saturday, he took to social media to announce that India and Pakistan — after four tense days of cross-border clashes — had agreed to a "full and immediate ceasefire", brokered by the US.Later, in another post he said: "I will work with you both to see if, after a thousand years, a solution can be arrived at, concerning Kashmir."The Kashmir dispute dates back to 1947, when India got independence from British...

Sussan Ley takes over from Peter Dutton after he led the party to a historic loss
Liberal Party names first female leader after historic Australia election loss
SYDNEY — Australia's Liberal Party has for the first time chosen a woman as its leader, with Sussan Ley to take over from Peter Dutton after he led the party to a bruising election loss.Ley, from the moderate faction of the party, beat Angus Taylor - who ran on a promise to restore conservative values - by four votes.At the election on 3 May, the Liberal-National coalition, currently Australia's main opposition party, suffered what many are calling the worst defeat in its history.Pundits and MPs have blamed the result on polarising leaders, a messy campaign and "Trumpian" policies, which alienated women and young people in particular.Ley's appointment comes as Prime Minister Anthony Albanese was sworn in at Government House on Tuesday, following his Labor...

A ceasefire between India and Pakistan was announced at the weekend
Modi addresses nation for first time since start of India-Pakistan strikes
NEW DELHI — India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said his country will respond strongly to what he describes as a future "terrorist attack", after four days of military exchanges with neighboring Pakistan."This is not an era of war, but this is also not an era of terror," Modi said in his first public address since days of intense shelling and aerial incursions, carried out by both sides, began.These followed a militant attack in Indian-administered Kashmir that killed 26 people, for which India blamed a Pakistan-based group. Islamabad has strongly denied backing the group in question.The US-brokered ceasefire agreed between the nuclear-armed neighbors at the weekend appears to have held so far.Both nations say they remain vigilant."If another terrorist...

Drone war opens a new chapter in India-Pakistan conflict
NEW DELHI — The world's first drone war between nuclear-armed neighbors has erupted in South Asia.On Thursday, India accused Pakistan of launching waves of drones and missiles at three military bases in Indian territory and Indian-administered Kashmir — an allegation Islamabad swiftly denied.Pakistan claimed it had shot down 25 Indian drones in recent hours. Delhi remained publicly silent. Experts say the tit-for-tat attacks mark a dangerous new phase in the decades-old rivalry, as both sides exchange not just artillery but unmanned weapons across a volatile border.As Washington and other global powers urge restraint, the region is teetering on the edge of escalation, with drones -- silent, remote and deniable -- opening a new chapter in the India-Pakistan conflict."The...
