🔴BREAKING: Thailand and Cambodia Agree to Unconditional Ceasefire After Five Days of Deadly Clashes!

📍Thailand/Combodia | July 28, 2025 / HewadPress

In a significant breakthrough after nearly a week of escalating violence, Thailand and Cambodia have agreed to an unconditional ceasefire beginning at midnight, according to Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, who confirmed the development Monday afternoon.

The ceasefire follows five days of deadly cross-border clashes that claimed dozens of lives and displaced over 30,000 civilians. The border region, long disputed, had seen an alarming surge in artillery fire and military movements, raising fears of a broader conflict.

Adding an unexpected diplomatic twist, U.S. President Donald J. Trump released a statement on his social media platform, claiming personal involvement in mediating the ceasefire.

“Just spoke to the Acting Prime Minister of Thailand and Prime Minister of Cambodia,” Trump wrote. “I am pleased to announce that, after the involvement of President Donald J. Trump, both Countries have reached a CEASEFIRE and PEACE. Congratulations to all! By ending this War, we have saved thousands of lives.”

Trump went on to call himself the “President of PEACE,” noting that he has now “ended many Wars in just six months” and instructed his trade team to restart negotiations between the two Southeast Asian nations.

While neither Bangkok nor Phnom Penh has officially confirmed Trump’s role, the announcement has stirred international attention, with some observers welcoming the ceasefire and others questioning the U.S. leader’s direct influence.

🔴 Breaking: Young Afghan Mother and Her Three Children Brutally Killed in Tehran: Suspect Still at Large!

📍Tehran, Iran – HewadPress | July 27, 2025

A disturbing case of violence has shocked Tehran residents after the bodies of a young Afghan woman and her three small children were discovered in a residence located in the Mortezāgord neighborhood of the Iranian capital.

According to Iranian media reports, the woman appears to have been killed by multiple stab wounds, while initial forensic examinations suggest the children may have died from suffocation. The bodies were reportedly found nearly ten days after the killings, raising further questions about how the incident went unnoticed for so long.

The case came to public attention after the Haft-e Sobh newspaper, citing forensic experts, revealed the timeline of the deaths. The victims’ bodies have since been transferred to Iran’s Legal Medicine Organization (forensic department) for detailed investigation.

At this time, no arrests have been made, and authorities have not identified any suspects. Local police and investigative units continue to search for clues regarding the motive and perpetrators behind this brutal crime.

This tragedy highlights the ongoing vulnerabilities faced by Afghan refugees in Iran, many of whom live in difficult socio-economic conditions with limited legal protections.

🚨 Breaking – Ukrainian Drones Strike Deep Inside Russia, Hit Strategic Railway Station In Volgograd !

📍Volgograd | July 27, 2025 | HewadPress

Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) struck the Oktyabrsky railway station late last night, marking the sixth such attack in just one week. The targeted station, located nearly 500 kilometers from the frontlines, is a critical logistics hub supplying Russian forces on the Donetsk front and in southern Ukraine.

The strike highlights Kyiv’s expanding drone capabilities and its focus on disrupting Russia’s military supply chain deep inside its territory. No official Russian casualties have been confirmed, but the repeated targeting of Oktyabrsky indicates a strategic effort to cripple rail-based support for ongoing operations.

🚨Pakistan Security Forces Open Fire on Protesters in Tirah Valley, 4 Killed and 16 Injured!

📍Peshawar | July 27, 2025 | HewadPress

At least four civilians were killed and 16 others injured when Pakistan’s security forces opened fire on a group of protesters in the Tirah Valley of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, local sources confirmed to HewadPress.

The demonstrators had gathered to protest the recent killing of a child who reportedly died when a mortar shell, allegedly fired by the Pakistan Army, struck a residential home. What began as a peaceful protest against military violence quickly turned deadly when security forces fired live rounds at the crowd.

Local sources say the incident is part of a troubling pattern of rising civilian casualties in the tribal belt, where the Pakistan Army continues to conduct operations under the pretext of counterterrorism. However, many residents accuse the military of indiscriminate shelling and drone attacks on civilian homes.

Elected representatives, including Members of the Provincial Assembly and National Assembly, have visited the injured at Dogra Hospital and Hayatabad Medical Complex in Peshawar.

The incident has sparked widespread anger and fear across the region, as many fear that such violent crackdowns on civilian protest could further escalate the humanitarian crisis in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s tribal districts.

🚨Germany Allows Taliban Envoys for Deportation Coordination, Reaffirms No Recognition of Regime!

📍Berlin – July 26, 2025 — HewadPress

In a significant but highly technical move, the German government has permitted two Taliban-appointed officials to operate within Afghan diplomatic missions in Germany. The measure is aimed at facilitating the deportation of Afghan nationals with failed asylum claims or criminal convictions — not at recognizing the Taliban regime, German authorities emphasized.

According to official sources, this is the first time since the Taliban took control of Afghanistan in August 2021 that envoys linked to the group have been allowed to operate in Germany. Their presence will assist in processing deportation cases, following Berlin’s decision to resume returns to Afghanistan after a nearly three-year pause.

Last Friday, Germany deported 81 Afghan nationals — the second such deportation flight since the resumption of returns in 2024. The flights were suspended following the collapse of the Afghan republic and the subsequent closure of Germany’s embassy in Kabul.

Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s administration has made reducing irregular migration a key policy priority. However, the move to allow Taliban representatives has stirred debate, with critics warning it could blur the line between technical cooperation and political recognition.

In an interview from Moscow, Germany’s Ambassador Géza Andreas von Geyr clarified Berlin’s position, stating unequivocally that “Germany has no plans to recognize the Taliban, nor has it engaged in any discussions to that effect.” He emphasized that deportations are being carried out through a narrowly defined technical mechanism, and coordination with Taliban-linked officials does not imply any diplomatic endorsement.

“Our position remains unchanged. We have no need for Russian cooperation on this issue, and any collaboration with the Taliban is strictly limited to logistical matters tied to deportations,” the ambassador told media.

While Russia officially recognized the Taliban government earlier this month, Germany continues to distance itself from any such move. Berlin remains aligned with the broader EU stance, linking recognition to political inclusivity, human rights guarantees, and commitments to combat terrorism — conditions the Taliban has so far failed to meet.
