US President Donald Trump stated that India and Pakistan must resolve their own tensions following a deadly terror attack in Jammu & Kashmir, which claimed the lives of 26 people, marking one of the worst incidents in nearly two decades. Speaking aboard Air Force One, Trump acknowledged the historical conflicts between the two nations but refrained from indicating whether he would reach out to their leaders. The attack has exacerbated already strained relations, with India accusing Pakistan of involvement—a claim Islamabad denies. In the aftermath, India has suspended a key water-sharing agreement, while Pakistan has closed its airspace to Indian airlines, further jeopardizing trade between the two countries. Indian stock markets experienced volatility amid fears of escalating tensions, although they later recovered some losses as authorities intensified their search for the attackers.

Published: Apr 26 2025, 8 ameznews.inYaroslav Moskalik, the Deputy Chief of the Main Operations Directorate of the Russian Armed Forces, was killed in a car explosion in Balashikha, near Moscow, on Friday, according to TASS, citing the Russian Investigative Committee. The blast, caused by an improvised explosive device containing submunitions equivalent to over 300 grams of TNT, prompted a criminal investigation into murder and illegal trafficking of explosives. Emergency response teams and investigators have been dispatched to the scene. This incident follows a similar attack earlier in December, which resulted in the deaths of Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov, head of Russia's Radiation, Chemical and Biological Protection Troops, and his aide, who were killed by an explosive device planted in an electric scooter in southeastern Moscow. The Investigative Committee is probing both incidents as part of a broader investigation into escalating violence targeting military officials.
Published: Apr 26 2025, 6 ameznews.inThe Trump administration has dismantled the Office of Global Change, which managed US climate diplomacy, raising concerns about the country's participation in the upcoming COP30 summit in Brazil. The State Department announced the closure, stating it would no longer engage in international agreements that do not align with American values. This decision aligns with Trump's long-standing skepticism towards climate change initiatives, having previously withdrawn the US from the Paris Agreement. The absence of the climate office was highlighted during Secretary of State Marco Rubio's recent reorganization of the State Department, which may involve job cuts. A complete US withdrawal from the November summit would mark a significant shift in global climate diplomacy, contrasting with the previous administration's elevation of the climate envoy role to cabinet status under Joe Biden. Scientists warn that the planet has already warmed by at least 1.36 degrees Celsius, with 1.5C posing severe risks to the environment.
