North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has confirmed that Pyongyang deployed troops to Russia’s Kursk region earlier this year to clear landmines, in a rare public acknowledgment of the hazardous tasks assigned to its soldiers. Speaking at a welcome ceremony, Kim said nine troops were killed during the 120-day mission and praised their “mass heroism,” as state media released images of injured soldiers and grieving families. Analysts say the deployment highlights deepening military cooperation between North Korea and Russia amid the ongoing war in Ukraine.

According to the US Defence Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA), the sale includes Link-16 data link systems, cryptographic equipment, avionics upgrades, training, and extensive logistical support aimed at modernising Pakistan’s Block-52 and MLU F-16s.

The DSCA says the upgrade will enhance Pakistan’s ability to meet current and future threats, improve operational safety, and extend the aircrafts' service life to 2040. The package will also strengthen interoperability between the Pakistan Air Force and the US Air Force in counterterrorism missions, joint exercises, and combat operations.

Washington emphasised that the sale will not alter the regional military balance, and Pakistan is fully capable of integrating the new systems into its forces. Lockheed Martin will serve as the principal contractor, with no additional US personnel required on the ground.

𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐦𝐩 𝐁𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐬 𝐄𝐮𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐞’𝐬 ‘𝐖𝐞𝐚𝐤 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩’: 𝐒𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐎𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐓𝐚𝐥𝐤 𝐖𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐖𝐚𝐫 𝐃𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐬 𝐎𝐧.

US President Donald Trump has launched a sharp attack on European leaders, calling them “weak” and suggesting that Washington could scale back its support for Ukraine. In an interview with Politico, Trump said Europe has failed to control immigration or take decisive steps to end the Ukraine-Russia war, claiming that Kyiv has been “left to fight until the end” without meaningful European action.

Responding to Trump, UK Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper insisted that Europe is stronger than ever, pointing to rising defense spending and ongoing financial support for Kyiv. She emphasized that while two presidents are working for peace, “one president — Vladimir Putin - continues to escalate the conflict with more drone and missile attacks.”

Trump also increased pressure on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, urging him to consider giving up occupied territories to Moscow as part of a peace deal - a proposal Zelensky rejected. The Ukrainian president said Kyiv and European partners are finalizing a comprehensive plan to end the war, which will soon be shared with the United States.

Trump’s remarks come just as European leaders convened to reinforce their joint strategy for stopping the war - yet, according to Trump, “they only talk, nothing gets done, and the war just goes on.”

𝐈𝐂𝐂: 𝐏𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐧’𝐬 𝐀𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐖𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐖𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝 - 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐈𝐟 𝐔𝐤𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐏𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐓𝐚𝐥𝐤𝐬 𝐒𝐮𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐞𝐝.

The International Criminal Court has made its position unmistakably clear: Vladimir Putin’s arrest warrant is not going anywhere, despite a surge in global diplomacy aimed at negotiating a Ukraine peace deal.

ICC deputy prosecutor Nazhat Shameem Khan said the court’s investigation into Russia’s invasion cannot be paused simply because peace talks are underway.
“We will follow our own regulatory framework,” she stressed, adding that real peace requires accountability.

While negotiators from the US, Ukraine, and Russia have been racing across capitals in recent weeks to explore a possible agreement, Khan warned that justice cannot be sidelined.
“There must be accountability for peace to be enduring,” she said.

The only body with the power to temporarily halt the case is the UN Security Council, which can request a deferral - but Khan emphasised it would be only a “temporary stop”, not a cancellation.

Meanwhile, the Kremlin maintains it doesn’t recognise the ICC and dismisses the warrant as “null and void.”

As diplomatic momentum builds, Friday’s statement underscores a major reality: 𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐰𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐨 𝐰𝐚𝐫-𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲.

🔥 𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐦𝐩 𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐢𝐦𝐬 𝐅𝐈𝐅𝐀’𝐬 𝐅𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐏𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐳𝐞, 𝐀𝐝𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐏𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐜𝐤𝐰𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 𝐂𝐮𝐩 𝐃𝐫𝐚𝐰 🔥

In a dramatic and highly political moment at the 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 𝐂𝐮𝐩 𝐝𝐫𝐚𝐰, U.S. President Donald Trump was awarded FIFA’s 𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐮𝐠𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐏𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐳𝐞 - a move already stirring global debate. Trump, long vocal about wanting the 𝐍𝐨𝐛𝐞𝐥 𝐏𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐳𝐞, had been widely expected to win the newly created FIFA honour, especially given his close ties to FIFA president 𝐆𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐢 𝐈𝐧𝐟𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐨.

Infantino, who has repeatedly praised Trump’s role in attempts to broker a Gaza ceasefire, handed him the award with the words: “𝑻𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒊𝒔 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒑𝒓𝒊𝒛𝒆, 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒊𝒔 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒑𝒆𝒂𝒄𝒆 𝒑𝒓𝒊𝒛𝒆.” The announcement marked a striking departure from FIFA’s usual apolitical image, injecting a sharp Trumpian tone into the draw ceremony.

Trump, arriving at the event in Washington, said he didn’t know if he would receive the award, adding: “𝑰 𝒅𝒐𝒏’𝒕 𝒏𝒆𝒆𝒅 𝒑𝒓𝒊𝒛𝒆𝒔. 𝑰 𝒋𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝒘𝒂𝒏𝒕 𝒕𝒐 𝒔𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒍𝒊𝒗𝒆𝒔.”

FIFA says the prize celebrates “exceptional actions for peace” that unite people globally — though its timing raises eyebrows, as Trump faces scrutiny over lethal Caribbean strikes and ramps up tough rhetoric on immigration.

Meanwhile, this year’s Nobel Peace Prize went instead to Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado, who unexpectedly dedicated part of her win to Trump for “decisive support” of her movement.

🔥 𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐡 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐭 𝐃𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐒𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐦 𝐎𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐍𝐮𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐒𝐮𝐛𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐁𝐚𝐬𝐞 🔥

French military forces were placed on high alert after 𝐟𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐞𝐝 𝐝𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬 flew over the 𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐫𝐚-𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐈̂𝐥𝐞 𝐋𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐮𝐞 𝐧𝐮𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐬𝐮𝐛𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐞 - home to France’s four ballistic-missile submarines, the backbone of its nuclear deterrent.

The incident unfolded around 7:30 p.m. when security units detected the unauthorised aircraft and immediately triggered counter-drone protocols. Marines deployed jamming measures in an attempt to neutralise the devices, though authorities say no drones were downed and no operators have been identified so far.

The Île Longue facility - a heavily fortified site staffed by more than 120 maritime gendarmes - houses France’s nuclear subs Le Triomphant, Le Téméraire, Le Vigilant, and Le Terrible, with at least one always on patrol at sea.

Defence Minister Catherine Vautrin praised the rapid response, stressing that any overflight of a military site is strictly prohibited. Investigators say no evidence yet links the breach to foreign interference, but the incident marks a serious escalation in a wave of mysterious drone activity reported across Europe in recent weeks.

A formal investigation has now been launched as France probes who - and what - is behind the intrusion at one of its most critical defence assets.
