A Turkish warship, TCG Büyükada, has docked in Karachi just days after the deadly Pahalgam attack, which India blamed on Pakistan. Pakistan’s navy celebrated the arrival, marking a significant step in strengthening defense ties with Turkey. While Turkey denied claims of supplying arms, it confirmed deepening naval cooperation, including submarine upgrades and military drones. This joint operation raises concerns in India as tensions continue to escalate. Global nations are urging restraint, but the timing of this move could push India towards a stronger response.

Donald Trump called Russia’s decision not to seize the entirety of Ukraine a “big concession” during peace talks. Speaking alongside Norway’s PM, he said real progress could come in two weeks. Trump also warned Putin to stop the strikes, saying they were badly timed and hurt peace chances. Russia insists its attacks only target military sites. Meanwhile, Foreign Minister Lavrov says Moscow and Washington are closing in on a deal, though key details remain unresolved. Trump’s stance hints at possible territorial compromises from Ukraine.
