Firstly, if the terrorists had an explosive laden vehicle so handy, then why didn’t they use it for this attack in the first place? Secondly, since terrorists engage in ‘hit and run’ attacks, keeping an explosive laden vehicle as ‘backup’ doesn’t make sense. Damage AssessmentThe Express Tribune has posted a 1 min 45 sec long post-attack video of the building purportedly targeted by the explosive laden vehicle [https://tribune.com.pk/story/2449762/at-least-23-soldiers-martyred-in-di-khan-attack-ispr]. In this video a large cavity in the wall and blown out windows is visible which supports the claim of an explosive laden vehicle being used. This is not the first time the Pakistan army’s media wing has been economical with the truth.

As a result of failed economic policies, Pakistan is continuously sinking into the quagmire. The fact is that none of the three major parties have any economic agenda to protect the country’s economy from threats and provide relief to the people. The tragedy is that those who gave the speech of independence and self-reliance while misleading the nation have drowned the country’s economy. The entire economic system has been put under the control of the IMF. For economic stability in the country, the usurious economic system must be abolished.

Undoubtedly, history attests to the significant role women have played globally, be it in pol­itics, social work, war, or peace. Take Tarabai Bon­sale, a Maratha queen who fought against the Mughals, or Rose Schneiderman, an American la­bour leader and activist, both for­gotten in history. Baloch women, de­spite active political roles in the 15th and 16th centuries, often became victims of honour-relat­ed violence. Feudalists worldwide degrade women, but even our security forces, meant to protect, have faced accusa­tions of mistreatment, as seen in the Bangladesh Liberation War. Today, brave Baloch wom­en like Amma Yasmeen, Bibi Gul, and Banuk Kareema raise objec­tions against barbarism, despite facing removal from their paths.

Ukraine must consider whether taking part in next year's Paris Olympics is in the nation's interests but participation is impossible unless the IOC alters its "non-constructive position," Ukraine's sports minister said on Saturday. Matviy Bidnyi, Ukraine's minister of youth and sport, was speaking on national television a day after the International Olympic Committee said Russian and Belarusian athletes could compete in Paris as neutrals without flags, emblems or anthems. Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba on Friday condemned the IOC decision as "shameful". Russia's Sports Minister, Oleg Matytsin, called the conditions set by the IOC for Russian athletes' participation at the Olympics "discriminatory." Bidnyi said Ukraine could work towards participating if leaders came to the conclusion that it would "promote our position to the world".
