Srinagar/Islamabad — Tensions between India and Pakistan have dramatically intensified following a series of Indian airstrikes on multiple sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir. The strikes, launched under "Operation Sindoor," have resulted in at least 26 deaths and 46 injuries, according to Pakistani officials. India claims the operation targeted terrorist infrastructure linked to the April 22 Pahalgam attack that killed 26 civilians.

Pakistan has condemned the strikes as a "blatant act of war" and a violation of sovereignty, asserting its right to respond under Article 51 of the UN Charter. In retaliation, Pakistan reported shooting down five Indian fighter jets and engaging in artillery exchanges along the Line of Control, resulting in civilian casualties on both sides.

The international community, including the United States, United Kingdom, Russia, China, and Turkey, has expressed concern and urged restraint. Approximately 577 flights have been canceled, and residents in border areas have taken refuge in bunkers. The crisis has sparked fears of a broader conflict between the two nuclear-armed nations, prompting ongoing diplomatic efforts to de-escalate the situation. The Guardian

This escalation marks the most severe India-Pakistan confrontation since the 1999 Kargil War, raising global fears of wider conflict. The Guardian

A cluster of passengers aboard a cruise ship had developed severe respiratory illness. Of the seven cases identified — two confirmed, five suspected — three had already died. One patient remained critically ill. The culprit: hantavirus. It is the kind of news that sounds almost impossible. Hantavirus is a disease most people associate with rural exposure — hikers breathing in dust near rodent droppings, farmers working in old barns, researchers in remote field stations. Not a luxury cruise ship carrying 147 passengers and crew across international waters. And yet here we are. What Is Hantavirus — and Why Does It Matter? Hantavirus is not new. It has been known to science since the 1950s, and it gained global attention in 1993 when an outbreak in the American Southwest killed dozens of people with terrifying speed. The virus...
