Top 5 news of the day: Top Maoist leader gunned down; India slams Pak over Balochistan blast claims, and more
Wednesday, 21 May 2025 India achieved a significant victory against left-wing extremism with the killing of top Maoist leader Basavaraju in Chhattisgarh. Simultaneously, tensions escalated between India and Pakistan following a school bus bombing in Balochistan, while the ED's money laundering case against Sonia and Rahul Gandhi gained momentum with daily court hearings scheduled.
On May 21, 2025, a Maoist insurgency operation carried out by Indian security forces marked a decisive moment in the country's internal security history. The neutralisation of Nambala Keshava Rao, alias Basavaraju—the most wanted Naxalite leader—during Operation Black Forest in Chhattisgarh,...

Pakistan is reeling from an unforgiving monsoon season that has claimed over 200 lives and left more than 560 injured, including 182 children. Punjab has borne the brunt with 123 deaths, followed by Khyber Pakhtunkhwa with 40, Sindh with 21, and others scattered across Balochistan, Islamabad, and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.
The deaths resulted from collapsing homes, flash floods, lightning, landslides, and electrocution. Rawalpindi was engulfed in chaos as flash floods submerged entire neighborhoods. Faisalabad also suffered heavy damage with 11 deaths in just 2 days. Infrastructure has crumbled — roads washed away in Chakwal, power supplies snapped, and communication lines destroyed. The UN warns of possible glacier lake outburst floods in the north. As the crisis unfolds, it’s a grim reminder of Pakistan’s growing climate vulnerability, just as in 2022 when floods killed over 1,700 and caused $40 billion in damage.

Nine Pakistani military intelligence agents were brutally kidnapped and executed in a targeted ambush on a passenger bus in Balochistan. The unidentified gunmen stopped the vehicle en route from Quetta to Lahore, selectively identifying and killing the agents in what officials are calling a premeditated assassination. This attack marks a sharp escalation in violence across the region, raising fears of a broader insurgency against Pakistan’s security forces.

In a dramatic and controversial trade move, U.S. President Donald Trump has announced a major oil partnership with Pakistan just hours before slapping India with a harsh 25% tariff and an additional penalty. While praising Pakistan’s “massive oil reserves,” Trump hinted that the oil might one day be sold to India—ironically, after penalising New Delhi for its trade practices and energy ties with Russia. Trump accused India of having “obnoxious trade barriers” and being the “largest buyer of Russian energy,” saying these actions were “not good” while Russia continues its war in Ukraine. The stark contrast between Trump rewarding Pakistan and punishing India—one of the U.S.'s strategic partners—has raised eyebrows globally. Critics say Trump is punishing allies and appeasing others for transactional gain, even at the cost of long-term diplomatic trust.
