The Indo-UK Joint Military Exercise Ajeya Warrior-25, currently underway at the Mahajan Field Firing Ranges, Rajasthan, continues to progress with high professional intensity as troops from the Indian Army's Sikh Regiment and the UK Army engage in a focussed training curriculum aimed at strengthening interoperability under a United Nations mandate, a statement by the Ministry of Defence.

Zabihullah Mujahid, the spokesman for the Taliban administration, said on Tuesday that the attack took place at midnight (local time) in the district of Gurbuz.

The statement came a day after a phone conversation between Chinese President Xi Jinping and US President Donald Trump, during which Xi allegedly linked Taiwan's "return to China" to the postwar international order, as reported by The Taipei Times.

The decision, reportedly influenced by Swiss parliamentary authorities who deemed the imagery "too political," has drawn strong criticism from Tibetan communities and human rights supporters, as reported by Phayul.

Announcing his candidacy on Tuesday, Pokharel has also released his detailed political-organisational agendas, stating he is prepared to take on the party's leadership, citing "the need for deep introspection, structural reforms and a renewed commitment to internal democracy."

The official, speaking as US Army Secretary Dan Driscoll held talks with Russian representatives in Abu Dhabi, said, "The Ukrainians have agreed to the peace deal. There are some minor details to be sorted out but they have agreed to a peace deal."
