Balochistan is facing a fresh escalation in violence following reports of Pakistani military airstrikes that allegedly killed 21 civilians, including women and children. The reported strikes in and around Sorab and Gwadar have triggered protests and renewed anger, while communication disruptions have made independent verification of casualty figures difficult. The Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) has subsequently claimed a series of coordinated attacks across multiple districts, with reports of strikes targeting security installations, convoys and other infrastructure.

Berlin is reeling after a deadly attack near the city's LGBTQIA+ Pride celebrations, where a minivan allegedly rammed into pedestrians, leaving one person dead and 29 others injured before the suspect was fatally shot by German police. According to authorities, the 21-year-old suspect allegedly crashed into crowds near the Pride event before emerging from the vehicle armed with a bladed weapon. Police confronted the suspect at the Spandau Garden Complex, where officers opened fire after what they described as a knife charge during the operation. Earlier, German authorities had identified the suspect and appealed to the public for information before the deadly confrontation came to an end. Officials continue to investigate the motive behind the attack and whether the suspect acted alone. WATCH
