'It could have gone nuclear': Trump again claims he 'stopped India-Pakistan war'; doubles down on trade angle
US President Donald Trump (PTI photo) US President Donald Trump on Friday once again claimed that he played a key role in stopping a possible war between India and Pakistan - a conflict he said might have gone nuclear if not for his intervention. Speaking to reports on Air Force One, Trump said he used trade as a tool to get both sides to halt hostilities immediately. "You know, I did something that people don't talk about, and I don't talk about very much, but we solved a big problem, a nuclear problem potentially with India and with Pakistan. I spoke to Pakistan, I spoke to India, they have really great leaders, but they were going at it, and they could have gone at it nuclear," US President said. He explained that both countries stopped their attacks after he warned them the US would suspend trade if the fighting continued. "Both nuclear countries, strong nuclear countries, and I talked about trade and said, 'We're not doing trade if you guys are going to be throwing bombs at each other.' They both stopped, and I stopped that war immediately. It was going much further, and hopefully, it would not go to nuclear, but it might have gone to nuclear. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Secure Your Child's Future with Strong English Fluency Planet Spark Learn More Undo In fact, it might have gone to nuclear in the next round, but we stopped it, and I'd like to commend the leaders of both countries, Pakistan and India. " Trump's version of events got a rare endorsement from Moscow. Russian President Vladimir Putin 's aide Yury Ushakov backed Trump's claim, saying his direct involvement helped end the conflict - something that even came up in a phone call between Trump and Putin. "The Middle East was discussed, as well as the armed conflict between India and Pakistan, which has been halted with the personal involvement of President Trump," Ushakov said. The US president's comments, however, stirred diplomatic pushback. Congress MP Shashi Tharoor , who is leading an all-party delegation to the US, said they addressed Trump's mediation claims directly with US Vice President JD Vance. "The meeting with Vice President Vance was outstanding, very good, very clear. I think we made our position amply clear on this question of mediation, and Vice President Vance fully understood our points," Tharoor said. Trump has made similar claims in the past, especially after India carried out Operation Sindoor -- precision strike on terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu & Kashmir (PoJK) on May 7, in retaliation for the Pahalgam terror attack. India later responded to Pakistani military aggression with airbase strikes. Eventually, tensions eased after Pakistan's Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) contacted his Indian counterpart and agreed to stop further action.

'Most powerful attack since start of war': Russia pounds Ukraine with drone, missile strike; 3 killed, over 20 injured
AP photo A major Russian drone-and-missile strike hit the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv on Saturday, killing at least three people and injuring 21 others, according to local officials. Kharkiv's mayor, Ihor Terekhov, said the latest barrage damaged 18 apartment blocks and 13 private houses, according to news agency Associated Press. The mayor also confirmed that the assault involved 48 Iranian-made Shahed drones, two missiles, and four aerial glide bombs. This comes just a day after a deadly overnight drone strike on the northern Ukrainian city of Pryluky, where five people including a one-year-old child were killed and six others injured. The drones struck residential areas, causing severe damage. Hours later, another Russian strike wounded at least 17 people in Kharkiv, including children, a pregnant woman, and a 93-year-old woman.

Russia pounds Kharkiv with missiles, drones in retaliation for Ukrainian strike, 3 dead
A major Russian drone and missile assault struck the eastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv on Saturday, resulting in at least three deaths and 21 injuries, according to local Ukrainian officials. The strike was part of Moscow's ongoing near-daily bombardments and included the use of lethal aerial glide bombs, which have become a prominent feature of Russia's intensified offensive in the three-year-long conflict, as reported by the Associated Press. Kharkiv's mayor Ihor Terekhov said the attack also damaged 18 apartment buildings and 13 private homes. Citing preliminary data, he said Russia used 48 Shahed drones, two missiles and four aerial glide bombs in the attack. The intensity of the Russian attacks on Ukraine over the past weeks has further dampened hopes that the warring sides could reach a peace deal anytime soon days — especially after Kyiv recently embarrassed the Kremlin with a surprising drone attack on military airfields deep inside Russia. The attack followed remarks by US President Donald Trump, who stated that Russian President Vladimir Putin had informed him of Moscow's intention to retaliate against Ukraine's planned strike on Russian military airfields on Sunday. Trump also commented that it might be preferable to allow Ukraine and Russia to 'fight for a while' before intervening to broker peace — a notable shift from his usual calls to end the conflict. His statements suggested a potential retreat from recent efforts to facilitate a peaceful resolution. According to a report by Reuters, Kharkiv Governor Oleh Syniehubov said that a civilian industrial site in the city was hit by a massive Russian strike involving 40 drones, one missile, and four bombs, sparking a fire. He added that people may still be trapped under the rubble. According to the Ukrainian military, Russia launched a total of 206 drones, along with 2 ballistic missiles and 7 other missiles in an overnight assault across Ukraine. The intensity of the Russian attacks on Ukraine over the past weeks has further dampened hopes that the warring sides could reach a peace deal anytime soon. People may still be trapped under the rubble. Air defense forces shot down 87 drones, while another 80 were either diverted using electronic warfare systems or were decoys without warheads, Reuters reported. (With inputs from agencies) Key Takeaways The conflict between Ukraine and Russia continues to escalate with increasing attacks and casualties. The use of advanced weaponry, such as drones and glide bombs, marks a significant shift in military tactics. Political commentary from global leaders reflects a complex dynamic in international responses to the conflict.
