Tensions are continuing to rise between two of Asia’s biggest super powers

India and China have deployed troops to the harsh terrain of the Ladakh region in India.

Recent military talks suggest that tensions are not easing out anytime soon.

The region forms part of the Himalayan territory of Kashmir, which is divided between India and Pakistan.

Just last week, a police officer was shot dead in the area. Over 40 people have lost their lives in the past month alone.

It’s the latest in a string of attacks after India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi scrapped the region’s limited autonomy last year.

Today, it is split into two federally-run territories.

China is also deeply involved in an infrastructure war along the border, where it’s thought to have built at least 10 new air bases.

India has responded by constructing over 70 pieces of infrastructure along its tense border with China.

Despite the military standoff, trade between China and India is on course to exceed a record $100 billion this year.

This crisis isn’t new, with rebel groups fighting or Kashmir’s independence or merger with Pakistan since 1989.

Israel and Hamas agree to release hostages in U.S.-brokered deal, marking a potential turning point in Gaza conflict.

In a major diplomatic breakthrough, Israel and Hamas have agreed to release all remaining Israeli hostages under a U.S.-brokered framework. The deal pairs prisoner exchanges with an Israeli troop pullback and expanded aid access, marking a potential turning point in the two-year Gaza conflict.

The agreement, set for approval by Israel’s cabinet, could pave the way for lasting peace if both sides uphold the terms. It follows weeks of negotiations led by U.S. envoys and regional mediators in Egypt, Qatar, and Türkiye.

As international agencies prepare to facilitate aid and logistics, the world watches to see whether this fragile deal can hold and bring relief to millions affected by the war.
