India launches strikes on Pakistan, Islamabad vows to 'settle the score'

20 Sept 06:48 Key points summarised by AI

India launched "precision strikes" on alleged terrorist camps in Pakistan-administered Kashmir, claiming retaliation for a recent deadly attack in Indian-administered Kashmir.
Pakistan reported eight civilian casualties from the Indian strikes and immediately vowed to "settle the score," condemning the actions as an "unprovoked" act of aggression.
This exchange marks a dangerous escalation between the nuclear-armed nations, prompting urgent calls for "maximum restraint" from the international community, including the UN and US.
The heightened tensions follow weeks of cross-border gunfire and India's recent move to suspend its part of the Indus Waters Treaty, further straining relations between the rivals.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
