Afghanistan says it hit ISIS-K hubs inside Pakistan, boosting cross-border tensions

Afghanistan’s defence ministry says its air force struck sites inside Pakistan tied to ISIS-Khorasan and hostile intelligence circles, including locations in Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, in what Kabul described as hits on bases used to plan attacks. Pakistan rejected Kabul’s claims, and the episode underscores a fragile ceasefire managed by mediators led by China, with repeated cross-border clashes and mutual accusations threatening stability.

Cross-border air strikes rekindle Pakistan–Afghanistan tensions

Pakistan says its calibrated air strikes on Afghan border targets killed 26 militants, while Afghanistan’s Taliban government reports 13 dead, including 11 children. The escalation is the first major flare-up since February after a border ceasefire last October, with both sides accusing the other of harboring militants and promising to protect citizens by targeting hideouts, training sites and ammunition caches along the border.

Beirut on the brink: recounting the deadliest day of the Lebanon war

Israel launched a sudden barrage across Beirut and other parts of Lebanon, delivering more than 100 strikes in under 10 minutes and leaving over 300 dead and about 1,000 wounded. Civilians and responders describe chaos, destruction, and fear of further attacks, with displacement rising as residents recall a day when many believed Beirut would collapse.

Air strikes hit Iran's steel mills, raising production outage concerns

Air strikes hit Iran's steel mills, raising production outage concerns

Two of Iran's largest steelmakers, Khouzestan Steel (KhSC) and Mobarakeh Steel (MSC), were hit by air strikes attributed to the U.S. and Israel, damaging storage silos and power infrastructure. Initial reports say blast furnaces 1 and 2 at KhSC were offline, while MSC suffered damage to a substation and power units. Production checks are ongoing with potential short-term outages, likely reducing Iran's billet and slab output and exports. The strikes follow a prior attack on Foolad Atieh, and Iran faces gas and power shortages, with officials signaling possible retaliatory actions against Gulf steel producers.

CENTCOM data contradicts Hegseth’s claim of mounting Iran strikes

CNN’s review of US Central Command data shows the pace of strikes on Iran has fluctuated over about three weeks rather than steadily increasing, contradicting Pete Hegseth’s repeated predictions of “more and larger” attacks. While the first day saw over 1,000 targets struck, daily averages since then have hovered around 250–333 with occasional upticks, likely due to maintenance and a stretching target list. Experts suggest the war’s messaging has outpaced the on‑the‑ground tempo of operations.

Gaza strikes kill at least 27 as truce frays and civilians pay the price

Israeli air strikes across the Gaza Strip killed at least 27 people, including children and women, with a tent shelter for displaced people in Khan Younis hit and multiple residential buildings destroyed. The violence comes amid a fragile ceasefire brokered last month; Israel says it targeted Hamas operatives and weapons sites in response to what it calls a Hamas violation of the agreement, while Hamas accuses Israel of breaking the truce and continuing attacks.

UN: Civilian toll climbs as Myanmar’s controversial election unfolds amid air strikes

The United Nations says at least 170 civilians were killed in military air strikes during Myanmar’s weeks-long, widely denounced election, with around 408 aerial attacks recorded from December to late January. The vote was dismissed as a sham by multiple countries and rights groups, and large parts of the country remained unable to vote amid ongoing civil conflict; the military-backed USDP appeared poised for a landslide following a tightly controlled process.

Trump's Iran options: limited air strikes and leadership targets on the table

The article outlines potential U.S. options if Trump decides to intervene in Iran amid protests, focusing on limited air strikes and possible leadership-targeted actions rather than a full-scale invasion. It cites Trump’s posts promising help for Iranian protesters and White House signals that diplomacy remains primary but force is on the table. It notes a reduced U.S. regional footprint, with forces moved away from the Mediterranean and toward the Caribbean, while Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar remains a key hub and defenses are adjusted. Experts say a ground invasion is unlikely and decapitating Iran’s leadership would risk strong Iranian retaliation and a dangerous power vacuum.
