On June 9, Indian-administered Jammu and Kashmir experienced one of its deadliest attacks in years. Militants opened fire on a bus carrying Hindu pilgrims to a shrine in Reasi, Jammu, killing nine and injuring over 30. This attack is part of a troubling trend, with violence shifting from the Kashmir Valley to the relatively calmer Jammu region. In recent months, Jammu has seen a rise in militant activity, with 33 attacks reported since 2021. In 2024 alone, there have been eight attacks resulting in 11 soldiers' deaths and 18 injuries, matching the total number of civilian deaths in the region for 2023. The violence has occurred in several Jammu districts, including Rajouri and Poonch. The region's proximity to the Line of Control with Pakistan has led to accusations that Islamabad is supplying militants with weapons and money, though Pakistan has not officially responded. Experts believe the increase in attacks might be due to high security in Kashmir Valley pushing militants south or a strategy to divert attention from other areas. #JammuAndKashmir #JammuAttack #KashmirViolence #MilitantAttack #JammuSecurity #KashmirConflict #Terrorism #JammuNews #KashmirTerrorism #IndiaNews #KashmirUpdate #JammuEvents #ViolenceInJammu #KashmirAttacks #JammuMilitancy #SecurityForces #MilitantActivity #KashmirCrisis #JammuViolence #KashmirInsight #JammuBreakingNews #JammuTerror #KashmirUpdates #IndianSecurity #KashmirConflictUpdate #JammuRegion #JammuAndKashmirNews #MilitantAttacks #KashmirSituation #JammuAffairs

In Bangladesh, anti-government protests have led to violent clashes between police and university students, resulting in at least 150 deaths. Students in Dhaka wanted a peaceful rally, but the police attacked them. Some students reported being tortured by people pretending to be police. An emergency doctor described being overwhelmed by the number of young people with gunshot wounds. The government blames political opponents for the unrest, which began after new job quotas were imposed but have now been mostly canceled by the Supreme Court. An internet blackout has limited information flow, and a curfew is in place with thousands of soldiers deployed. Connectivity was partially restored for essential services on Tuesday night. This violence represents a major challenge for Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, who won her fourth consecutive term in a disputed election earlier this year. #BangladeshProtests#DhakaClashes#StudentProtests#AntiGovernmentProtests#BangladeshViolence#PoliceBrutality#BangladeshNews#StudentRights#ProtestViolence#BangladeshCrisis#HumanRights#BangladeshUnrest#FreedomOfSpeech#ProtestAgainstOppression#BangladeshStudents#DhakaViolence#GovernmentAccountability#InternetBlackout#EmergencyInBangladesh#BangladeshCoup#StudentLeaders#PoliticalUnrest#BangladeshSupremeCourt#MilitaryCurfew#RightsAndJustice#BangladeshSituation#DhakaProtests#StopPoliceBrutality#BangladeshConflict#JusticeForBangladesh

Scientists have made a historic discovery of a cave on the Moon, believed to be over 100 meters deep and potentially suitable for a future human base. This cave is just one of possibly many hidden beneath the lunar surface, offering a promising opportunity for establishing permanent human presence. However, challenges such as radiation, extreme temperatures, and space weather must be addressed to ensure astronaut safety. Helen Sharman, the first British astronaut, suggested that lunar caves like this one could host human inhabitants within the next 20-30 years, although accessing them may require innovative methods like abseiling or using jet packs. Discovered using radar technology, the cave features vertical walls, an overhead skylight, and a sloping floor, reminiscent of volcanic caves on Earth.

A Spanish tourist named Carlos Luna was killed by elephants at South Africa’s Pilanesberg National Park. He got out of his car to take close-up photos of the elephants despite warnings from his companions and others nearby. Luna was visiting the park with his fiancee and two other women when the tragic incident occurred. The man was charged by an adult female elephant and tried to run away, but he couldn’t escape. The whole herd joined in and he was trampled to death. Fortunately, after the incident, the elephants left the area and did not harm anyone else. Witnesses believe the elephant charged to protect the herd and their young. #PilanesbergNationalPark #WildlifeSafety #ElephantAttack #TouristTragedy #SouthAfricaTourism

China is investigating whether the EU’s investigations into Chinese companies are “trade barriers.” Concerns in Western countries focus on potential job losses and impacts on key industries due to cheap Chinese imports supported by subsidies. The EU has launched probes into China’s state support for wind turbines, solar panels, and electric vehicles, resulting in tariffs on Chinese EV imports. China’s Ministry of Commerce will assess if these EU actions breach their economic treaty and harm trade with EU states across sectors like railways, solar energy, and security equipment. Actions could include negotiations, dispute resolutions, or other measures if deemed necessary by MOFCOM. #ChinaEU #TradeBarriers #SubsidizedImports #EconomicTreaty

Polls in Iran's presidential run-off have ended. Centrist Masoud Pezeshkian faced hardliner Saeed Jalili to succeed the late Ebrahim Raisi, who died in a helicopter crash in May. Neither candidate won a majority in the first round on June 28. Pezeshkian got around 42.5% of the votes, while Jalili received about 38.7%.
