đź“ŤQUETTA, July-10-2025 |HewadPress

Local sources report that the attackers overran the camp and used remote-controlled explosives to ambush incoming forces. At least three soldiers — Lance Naik Wakeel, Naik Abdul Ghafoor, and Naik Zahoor — have been confirmed dead, though unofficial sources suggest the actual death toll may be higher due to the scale of the attack.

🚨Breaking: Russia to Import 1 Million Indian Workers Amid Labor Crisis Triggered by Ukraine War!

đź“ŤMoscow, July-10 -2025 (HewadPress)

Russia is preparing to bring in up to 1 million Indian workers by the end of this year to address a severe labor shortage caused by its ongoing war in Ukraine, The Moscow Times reported on Tuesday.

The shortage stems from two major consequences of the conflict: the mass mobilization of Russian men into military service and the significant death toll resulting from more than two years of full-scale combat. Independent estimates suggest that hundreds of thousands of Russian men have been killed or injured, leaving critical gaps in the civilian workforce.

The war has also prompted an exodus of young professionals fleeing conscription or economic instability, further worsening the crisis. Russian officials say the country is short more than 2.5 million workers across sectors like construction, logistics, manufacturing, and defense — with the number expected to rise in the coming months.

To ease the pressure, Russian companies including major developers and logistics firms have already begun recruiting workers from India, where labor is plentiful and diplomatic ties remain strong. The head of the Ural Chamber of Commerce, Andrei Besedin, confirmed plans to establish an Indian consulate in Yekaterinburg to speed up visa processing and provide support for incoming laborers.

In addition to India, Russia is also exploring migrant recruitment from Sri Lanka, North Korea, Myanmar, and Central Asia to fill labor gaps.

Analysts say the move signals the long-term economic strain Russia faces due to its war in Ukraine, as it increasingly turns to foreign labor to keep its economy functioning while diverting domestic manpower to the front lines.

🚨BREAKING: ICC Issues Arrest Warrants for Taliban Leaders Over Crimes Against Humanity!

đź“ŤThe Hague, July 8, 2025 | HewadPress

The International Criminal Court (ICC) has issued arrest warrants for two senior Taliban officials, including the group’s supreme leader, Haibatullah Akhundzada, and Chief Justice Abdul Hakim Haqqani. The court accuses them of crimes against humanity and war crimes, particularly for the systematic persecution of women and girls in Afghanistan.

In a statement released Tuesday, ICC Prosecutor Karim Khan said the charges stem from actions committed between August 15, 2021 — the day the Taliban regained control of Afghanistan — and at least January 20, 2025. The allegations include gender-based persecution, imprisonment, torture, enforced disappearances, and severe restrictions on education, employment, and freedom of movement.

“These alleged crimes have caused immense suffering and are deeply injurious to the human dignity of women and girls across Afghanistan,” said Khan.

This is the first time the ICC has issued arrest warrants explicitly focused on gender persecution as a crime against humanity. The court’s Pre-Trial Chamber II found reasonable grounds to believe that both Taliban leaders bear criminal responsibility for the policies and practices implemented under their leadership.

The Taliban has rejected the ICC’s jurisdiction and dismissed the charges, calling them politically motivated and incompatible with Islamic Sharia law.

The warrants mean that any ICC member state is now legally obligated to arrest the two individuals if they travel to their territory. However, enforcement remains uncertain given the lack of diplomatic recognition and limited engagement many countries maintain with the Taliban government.

Human rights organizations welcomed the ICC’s move. Amnesty International called it a “milestone in the global fight against gender-based oppression,” while Human Rights Watch urged countries to uphold their legal obligations under the Rome Statute.

The ICC continues to investigate additional alleged crimes in Afghanistan, including those committed by other groups such as the Islamic State Khorasan Province (ISKP). Prosecutor Khan emphasized that the court’s focus remains on ensuring accountability for the most serious crimes under international law.

🚨 Breaking: Elon Musk Questions Epstein Files!

July-8-2025 | HewadPress

In a series of comments and interviews, tech billionaire Elon Musk has reignited public scrutiny over the unreleased Jeffrey Epstein files — and sparked controversy by suggesting former associates, should be more transparent.

In a new post on X, Musk wrote, “How can people be expected to have faith in Trump if he won’t release the Epstein files?”

Appearing on Joe Rogan’s podcast, the two questioned the secrecy surrounding Epstein’s clients. Rogan asked, “How do you put someone in jail and you don’t even name the clients?”

Musk added, “Whenever they raided Epstein’s place, there would have been like a mountain of evidence. Where is that mountain? The public will be rightly frustrated if no one is prosecuted.”

There has been no response yet from President Donald Trump or his representatives regarding Musk’s claim.

đź“ŤEastern Ukraine | July 7, 2025 | HewadPress

A dramatic incident unfolded today on the eastern front as a Russian BM-21 Grad multiple rocket launcher was completely destroyed following a direct strike by a Ukrainian first-person-view (FPV) drone.

Footage from the scene shows the loaded launcher suffering a catastrophic ammunition detonation moments after the impact, sending fire and debris skyward in a massive explosion.

The strike is part of an ongoing surge in Ukraine’s tactical drone warfare, which has increasingly targeted Russian artillery systems with precision.

Casualty details remain unclear at this time. The Ukrainian military has not officially commented, but pro-Kyiv sources claim the operation was part of a wider effort to degrade Russian frontline capabilities.
