Pakistan Army Kills 19 Suspected Militants in Northwestern Region

/

On Thursday, the Pakistan army announced that it had eliminated 19 suspected militants during various operations conducted in northwestern Pakistan over the last two days. According to a statement from the military, at least 14 suspected militants were killed during a security operation in the Mohmand tribal district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province following a fierce exchange of gunfire. Additionally, five suspected militants were killed in two distinct operations in the volatile North Waziristan tribal district, which shares a border with Afghanistan and the Bannu district. The statement further noted that weapons and ammunition were seized from the deceased, who were reportedly engaged in multiple terrorist activities within these regions. Sanitization operations are currently underway in the area, as Pakistan’s security forces are resolute in their commitment to eradicate the threat of terrorism from the nation, the statement concluded. In recent years, Pakistan has experienced an increase in attacks targeting security forces, which it attributes to militants based in Afghanistan who are affiliated with Tehreek-Taliban Pakistan, a coalition of several banned groups. Kabul, however, denies these allegations.

Israeli Airstrike Targets Hamas Leaders in Qatar, Ceasefire Talks at Risk

/

DOHA, Sept 9 (nenagency) – Israel launched an airstrike against Hamas leaders in Qatar on Tuesday, expanding its military actions that have ranged across the Middle East to include the Gulf Arab state where the Palestinian Islamist group has long had its political base. Qatar, which has acted as a mediator alongside Egypt in talks on a ceasefire in the almost two-year-old war in Gaza, condemned the attack as “cowardly” and called it a flagrant violation of international law. Two Hamas sources told Reuters that Hamas officials in the ceasefire negotiating team survived the attack, which followed an evacuation order in Gaza City where Israel is waging an offensive to try to destroy the group and its military capabilities in the Gaza Strip. Israeli officials told Reuters the strike was aimed at top Hamas leaders including Khalil al-Hayya, its exiled Gaza chief and top negotiator. The attack took place shortly after Hamas’ armed wing, the al-Qassam Brigades, claimed responsibility for a shooting that killed six people at a bus stop on the outskirts of Jerusalem on Monday. The assault is likely to deal a serious, if not fatal, blow to efforts to reach a ceasefire, especially since negotiations took place in the Gulf Arab country Qatar. The United Arab Emirates, which normalised relations with Israel under the Abraham Accords in 2020, called the Israeli attack on Doha “blatant and cowardly”. Abu Dhabi was already angry over an Israeli minister’s plan for annexation in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, saying that was a red line that cannot be crossed. Regional power Saudi Arabia denounced what it called a “brutal Israeli aggression” against Qatar’s sovereignty. AMBULANCES GATHER AROUND ATTACK SITE The Israeli military, meanwhile, issued evacuation orders for residents of Gaza City, causing panic and confusion, after Israel said it was about to obliterate the area in an assault to wipe out Hamas. Residents of Gaza’s biggest urban area, home to a million Palestinians before the war, have been expecting an onslaught for weeks, since the Israeli government devised a plan to deal Hamas a fatal blow in what it says are the group’s last strongholds. Several blasts were heard in Qatar’s Doha, Reuters witnesses said. Plumes of black smoke were billowing from the city’s Legtifya petrol station. Next door to the petrol station is a small residential compound that has been guarded by Qatar’s Emiri Guard 24 hours a day since the beginning of the Gaza conflict. Ambulances and at least 15 police and unmarked government cars thronged the streets around the blast site an hour after the strike. Israel has killed several top Hamas leaders since the Palestinian militant group attacked Israel in October 2023, killing 1,200 people and taking 251 hostage, according to Israeli tallies. Israel has also launched airstrikes and other military action in Lebanon, Syria, Iran and Yemen in the course of the Gaza conflict. In Lebanon, it attacked the heavily armed Iran-backed group Hezbollah and in Yemen it launched airstrikes on the Iran-aligned Houthi group. Both groups have launched strikes on Israel during the Gaza conflict. T

Nation Observes Pakistan Defense Day with Renewed Resolve Against Aggression and Terrorism

/

ISLAMABAD APP, 6th September,2025 ISLAMABAD:Pakistan on Friday observed the 60th Defence and Martyrs Day, paying rich tribute to the nation’s martyrs, ghazis, and resilient citizens who stood firm in defending the country’s sovereignty. This year’s commemoration carried added significance as it coincided with the blessed occasion of Eid Milad-un-Nabi (PBUH). The day began with a 31-gun salute in Islamabad, followed by ceremonies across the country. Top military leadership — including Chief of Army Staff Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir, CJCSC General Sahir Shamshad Mirza, Naval Chief Admiral Naveed Ashraf, and Air Chief Marshal Zaheer Ahmed Baber Sidhu — laid wreaths and paid homage to the heroes of 1965 and beyond. ISPR’s Message: Unity as an Indestructible Force In a statement, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said September 6, 1965, remains a timeless symbol of Pakistan’s unity and defiance against a much stronger adversary.“On this day, our brave soldiers stood like an unbreakable wall against blatant aggression, proving that a united nation can never be defeated,” it said. ISPR also vowed that the armed forces would continue supporting the victims of ongoing floods while ensuring a decisive response to any external or internal threat. President Zardari: “A Glorious Chapter in History” President Asif Ali Zardari, in his message, called September 6 a “glorious chapter” of sacrifice and courage. He praised Pakistan’s armed forces for their professional excellence, combat readiness, and multi-domain capabilities, describing the nation’s defence as “impregnable.” He linked this year’s observance to the recent Operation Bunyan-um-Marsoos (2025), saying Pakistan’s forces once again demonstrated unmatched bravery similar to 1965. President Zardari also reiterated Pakistan’s firm stance on Kashmir and Palestine, condemning atrocities in both regions and demanding just solutions. He urged the youth to remain vigilant against modern threats such as hybrid warfare and disinformation. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif: “A Symbol of Unity and Resilience” Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif also paid glowing tribute, calling September 6 “a symbol of courage, unity, and resilience.” He recalled how the armed forces, backed by the people, thwarted enemy aggression in 1965. Highlighting the May 2025 Operation Bunyan-um-Marsoos, Marqa-e-Haq, the prime minister praised the Army, Navy, and Air Force for their unmatched professionalism under COAS Field Marshal Munir’s leadership. He reaffirmed Pakistan’s commitment to peace, while warning against Indian provocations and proxy warfare. He also expressed solidarity with the people of Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) and condemned Israeli aggression in Palestine. PM Shehbaz stressed that economic stability is vital for strong defence, urging the nation to rise above divisions for prosperity and self-reliance. “On this Defence and Martyrs Day, let us renew our pledge to faith, unity, and discipline, as envisioned by Quaid-e-Azam. Pakistan Armed Forces Zindabad, Pakistan Paindabad,” he concluded.

Trump Seeks department of defense rebrand as “Department of War”

/

Washington (Sept 2025) – U.S. President Donald Trump is ready through an executive order to rebrand the Department of defense as the Department of War, reviving the historic title last used before 1949. According to a White House document, the new label would serve as a secondary title, permitting use of “Secretary of War” and similar terms in official statements, ceremonies, and communications. Trump is expected to sign the order during an event at the White House on Friday. The former president has argued that “Defense” sounds too passive, pointing to past American victories under the War Department in World Wars I and II. The White House memo says the new title projects “strength and readiness.” Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, a combat veteran and close Trump ally, supports the move as part of his push to restore a “warrior ethos” in the military. Critics, however, warn the rebrand could inflame global tensions. Experts at nenagency note the change underscores Trump’s emphasis on hard power messaging and his effort to reshape Pentagon culture along more aggressive lines.
