[ToloNews] The Nuristan police chief told TOLOnews that more than 300 armed individuals had entered Afghanistan from Chitral through Kamdesh district after crossing the hypothetical Durand Line.
Mawlawi Akhtar Mohammad Muzammil said the individuals had entered the country with the support of Pak forces and with the aim of destabilizing parts of Nuristan.
Mawlawi Akhtar Mohammad Muzammil, Nuristan police chief, said: "The festivities with them began about 100 to 500 meters from the barbed-wire fence. A number of them were killed, while others fled."
According to Muzammil, 40 armed opponents were killed and more than 60 others were detained in the festivities.
He said the area is now under the control of security forces, the fighting has ended, and clearance operations are continuing.
Muzammil said: "They encountered resistance from the mujahideen, who had already set up ambushes for them. According to the latest information, around 40 of the armed individuals were killed."
The Nuristan police chief added that a number of Pak forces had also entered Afghanistan alongside the armed individuals, but returned to the other side of the hypothetical Durand Line following festivities with Islamic Emirate forces.
Sarwar Niazi, a military affairs analyst, said: "The Pak government and military are trying to organize forces opposed to the Taliban ...the Pashtun equivalent of men... and send them to Afghanistan for war and insecurity. I think war is no longer a solution. It would be better for these individuals not to be deceived by Pakistain and instead pursue dialogue and understanding."
The festivities in Kamdesh ended after four days, but security forces’ clearance operations are continuing in parts of the district. Local officials say security measures in areas near the hypothetical Durand Line will be increased if necessary.
[GaroweOnline] Pirates have killed five crew members on board a Palau-flagged oil tanker off the coast of Somalia before security forces rescued the ship, according to Somali authorities.
The deaths on the tanker, the MT Honour 25, were announced on Tuesday.
They appear to be the first deaths at the hands of Somali pirates in more than a decade and come amid a resurgence of Somali piracy that experts have attributed in part to the effects of the United States and Israel’s war on Iran.
The MT Honour 25, which authorities said was carrying 18,500 barrels of oil, was seized by pirates off Somalia on April 21.
The Information Ministry of Puntland ...a region in northeastern Somalia, centered on Garowe in the Nugaal province. Its leaders declared the territory an autonomous state in 1998. Puntland and the equally autonomous Somaliland seem to have avoided the clan rivalries and warlordism that have typified the rest of Somalia, which puts both places high on the list for Islamic subversion... , a Federal State in northeastern Somalia, said in a statement that a rescue mission had freed the ship and captured 16 suspected pirates.
"Before the operation began, the pirates on board the ship killed five of the crew," the statement said. "Among those killed were three from Pakistain, one from Myanmar and one from India."
Four other crew members, three Paks and one Indian, were maimed, it said.
In a post on social media, the Puntland Maritime Police Force said the vessel was "safe" and under the government’s control. It said efforts were continuing to find others involved in the hijacking.
The rescue follows another operation last week in which the maritime police freed the Sibu 1, a tanker sanctioned by the US that Somali pirates had hijacked in August.
But 28 of the 41 pirates arrested in that operation later escaped while being transferred to jail, and several Puntland security officials accused local police of complicity.
At least 15 attacks have been reported off Somalia since April, according to officials.
A previous wave of piracy, from 2008 to 2014, disrupted one of the world’s busiest shipping routes, cost the global economy billions of dollars and resulted in hundreds of millions of dollars in ransom payments.
Six family members of Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) terrorists have surrendered to troops of the Nigerian Army in Pulka, Gwoza Local Government Area of Borno State.

Preliminary investigation revealed that the individuals escaped from a terrorist enclave in Bulakambula, Bama Local Government Area.
The victims were subsequently handed over to representatives of the Grassroots Initiative for Strengthening Community Resilience (GISCOR) at its Pulka office for further assistance and processing.

Our armed forces have carried out 468 targeting operations against elements and equipment of the terrorist Houthi militia across the eastern front, the White Front, and the Mansoura front in Al-Wadi'ah, resulting in the killing and wounding of hundreds of militia elements, as well as the destruction of their equipment and military vehicles.
They’re Arabs. Yemeni Arabs. I wonder how much they’re exaggerating the numbers…
Meanwhile, the militia continues to target civilians and civilian facilities, including educational institutions, in a desperate attempt to break the will of the Yemeni people to restore the state and reject its extremist and destructive project. These attacks also constitute a grave violation of the provisions of international humanitarian law and the principles of civilian protection.

[North Press] Hezbollah denied on Wednesday any connection to a three-member cell Syrian authorities said they detained in Daraa governorate, rejecting claims that the group was affiliated with it.
In a statement, Hezbollah’s media relations office said the group had no presence in Syria and was not involved in any security or military activity there.
The statement came a day after Syria’s General Intelligence Directorate and Internal Security Forces announced the arrest of three people in the Yarmouk Basin in western Daraa.
Syrian authorities said the operation followed surveillance of an alleged attempt by the cell to prepare rocket-launch platforms for attacks. They identified the detainees by their initials as F.K., Z.M. and L.A., and said the launch platforms had been dismantled.
Hezbollah said it categorically rejected any relationship or connection with the cell.
