THREE Pakistani security personnel were killed on Monday (19) in a major militant attack originating from Afghanistan, targeting a border security post in the restive Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, security authorities reported.

The attack took place in the early hours at a Pakistani border post located in the Wara Mamund area of Bajaur district, which lies on the Pak-Afghan border.

This incident follows closely on the heels of two separate terror attacks on Sunday (18) that resulted in the deaths of four security personnel in the same province.

In one of these attacks, militants targeted the Bargai police station in the militancy-affected Lakki Marwat district, killing a policeman on the spot and fatally injuring a Station House Officer (SHO) who later succumbed to his wounds in the hospital.

In another incident on Sunday, two Frontier Constabulary personnel were killed and three others injured when militants ambushed their convoy in the Maddi area of Dera Ismail Khan district, also within Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The attackers reportedly took refuge in a nearby house before launching the assault.

The recent surge in terror incidents across Pakistan, particularly in KPK, has been linked to the Taliban's takeover of Afghanistan.

Pakistan has repeatedly urged the Taliban-led Afghan government to ensure effective border management and prevent the use of Afghan territory by terrorists targeting Pakistan. (PTI)

Dalai Lama confirms spiritual role will continue after his death

THE DALAI LAMA has said that the 600-year-old Tibetan spiritual institution will continue after his death, and that his office will have the sole responsibility of naming his successor. The announcement came on Wednesday through a video message at the start of a religious leaders’ meeting in the Indian Himalayan town where he has lived for decades.

"In accordance with all these requests, I am affirming that the institution of the Dalai Lama will continue," he said, according to an official translation. The Dalai Lama also said he had received multiple appeals over the past 14 years from Tibetans in exile, Buddhists across the Himalayan region, Mongolia, and parts of Russia and China urging him to ensure the continuation of the institution.

Government unveils stricter visa rules, to take effect from July 22

THE GOVERNMENT on Tuesday introduced the first set of tougher immigration rules in the House of Commons aimed at reducing the recruitment of foreign skilled workers, including in the care sector. The new measures are described as a “complete reset” of the UK’s immigration system.

The proposed changes, originally outlined in an ‘Immigration White Paper’ in May, include raising the skills and salary thresholds for foreign workers — including those from India — ending overseas recruitment for care worker roles, and removing more than 100 occupations, such as chefs and plasterers, from the shortage occupation list that currently allows certain visa exemptions.
