Trump ended wars: White House repeats India-Pak ceasefire claim
The White House credited President Donald Trump for resolving India-Pakistan conflict, with Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt touting his foreign policy as aggressive, results-driven, and underappreciated. Leavitt's comments come days after the US president's repeated remark that he mediated the ceasefire between the two nuclear-armed countries by using the trade bogey."Look at what the president has done on the world stage," Leavitt told reporters during a press briefing. "He has ended wars, like India and Pakistan. He continues to work aggressively to end the war in Russia and Ukraine. He completely obliterated Iran's nuclear sites. He has continued to hopefully negotiate a ceasefire between Israel and Gaza, to end that conflict and release all of the hostages."#WATCH | Washington, DC | White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt says, "...

He ANI (@ANI) July 21, 2025advertisementTRUMP'S TRUCE CLAIMTrump has made comments on multiple occasions that the US brokered peace and made a ceasefire possible between India and Pakistan last month, even though India refuted repeated claims by him. India and Pakistan were engaged in the worst military conflict in decades after New Delhi's Operation Sindoor precision strikes against Pakistani terror infrastructure on May 7 in retaliation against the Pahalgam terror attack, which claimed 26 civilian lives on April Delhi blamed the attack on Pakistan, which denied responsibility. Washington strongly condemned the attack but stopped short of directly accusing two countries reached a ceasefire understanding on May 10, which Trump announced and said that he brokered it with US diplomatic intervention. India, on the other hand, refuted the claim, saying the Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) of Pakistan called on his Indian counterpart and requested a stop to the CLAIMS 4–5 JETS DOWN IN CONFLICTUS President Donald Trump has also said that around 4–5 jets were shot down during the India-Pakistan hostilities in May. However, Trump, who made the remarks at a dinner with some Republican lawmakers at the White House, did not specify whether the jets belonged to India or had claimed that it downed five Indian planes in air-to-air combat after India launched Operation Sindoor. However, Chief of Defence Staff General Anil Chauhan has dismissed Pakistan's claim even though he admitted that an unspecified number of fighter jets were downed during the hostilities.- EndsWith inputs from ANITune InMust Watch

Military Digest: Another Kargil Vijay Diwas, another reminder of some uneasy questions that should not be wished away
In just a few days, the country will celebrate the 26th Kargil Vijay Diwas, marking the successful eviction of the Pakistan Army from the icy heights it had intruded upon in 1999. However, there are still many unanswered questions regarding the failures that allowed Pakistani troops to occupy Indian territory without detection. Celebrated annually on July 26, Kargil Vijay Diwas honours India's victory over Pakistan in the Kargil War of 1999. And while the bravery of the young officers and troops who snatched victory from the enemy's hands in the most treacherous terrains must be commemorated, it is equally important not to forget that there are many questions which remain unanswered till today. There have been numerous public accounts in recent years where senior officers have revealed that there were tell-tale signs indicating something was amiss weeks or months before the intrusions were actually discovered. Officers who were part of the higher echelons at the time have claimed over the years that it was known to Military Operations (MO) Directorate and Military Intelligence (MI) that Pakistan Army was replacing regular infantry battalions along the Line of Control (LoC) with Northern Light Infantry (NLI) units, the ones which eventually intruded into Indian territory. They claimed that the intelligence agencies and Army leadership made insufficient efforts to determine the reasons for this move, as well as where they were being utilised and for what purposes. The unrealistic frontage of 121 (Independent) Infantry Brigade headquartered in Kargil was 227 km, and it had about eight to nine battalions, including a BSF battalion under its Order of Battle (ORBAT). There was one battalion each in Dras, Kaksar, Chhani Gund, one in the central sector and one in Batalik. The brigade had 26 Maratha LI in Mushkoh and 9 Mahar in the gaps created by the withdrawal of the 28th Infantry Division, which had moved to the valley for counterinsurgency operations. This move has also been adversely commented upon in retrospect. The then Brigade Commander, Brigadier Surinder Singh, who was later moved out in the midst of operations and has since challenged his subsequent dismissal from service in the Armed Forces Tribunal (AFT), has claimed over the years that he sounded sufficient warnings. In a conversation with this correspondent some years ago, Brig Surinder Singh mentioned that he had conducted a reconnaissance as soon as he was posted as Brigade Commander. He said that he found some defences had to be prepared, and he made a detailed report, requesting defence stores and identifying possible points of intrusion. The higher formation headquarters is alleged to have refused this request, as well as the demand for mines to be laid on LoC. He also said that he briefed higher headquarters on the sand model in the operations room and war-gamed it in August or September 1998. In Mushkoh, posts were vacated in the winter for six months and in Batalik for four to five months. The then brigade commander claimed that he advised against removing the battalions from these places, but they were still removed, which resulted in gaps being created on the LoC that the enemy exploited. According to Lt Gen K H Singh, who commanded the 27 Rajput Battalion during the Kargil conflict, a significant information gap existed at the end of 1998. By March 1999, there were reasonable inputs about the intrusions by Pakistanis. The General also said that tell-tale signs of the intrusions were revealed much earlier than when they were actually discovered in May 1999, and he gave examples of having seen signs of intruders while on a helicopter sortie with the GOC of the Division. In this context, a former officer of the 5th Battalion of the Parachute Regiment (5 Para), ex-Major Manish Bhatnagar, has also raised several questions regarding the discovery of the intrusions and how these were subsequently handled during the conduct of operations. Bhatnagar was court-martialled in 2001 and dismissed from service. He had been found guilty of 'acts prejudicial to good order and military discipline' and handed out what seemed to be an excessive punishment disproportionate to the offence. The more serious charge against him pertained to disobeying a command to attack a position reportedly occupied by the Pakistan army. However, this charge could not be proven during his court-martial, and Bhatnagar was found not guilty. Bhatnagar contended during his trial that he had reported Pakistani intrusions well before they were discovered in May 1999 but that the Army top brass had disregarded his warnings. Bhatnagar's contention is that in January-February 1999, he observed and reported enemy activity at Point 5770, the northernmost and highest peak later reclaimed from Pakistani army regulars as part of Operation Vijay on June 29, 1999, by the 27th battalion of the Rajput Regiment. Bhatnagar said that he repeatedly reported enemy activities and exchange of fire while he was in an eyeball-to-eyeball situation close to Point 5770 and that he even spotted an enemy bunker and reported as above, in regular written situation reports, message log books and conversations up the chain of command to his then commanding officer, Col A K Srivastava. These reports were sent up the chain of command to Brigadier P C Katoch, then commander of the 102 Infantry Brigade and Major General V S Budhwar, then general officer commanding of the 3 Infantry Division. These claims and statements cannot be wished away, and till a definite answer is found to them, they will continue to resonate on every Kargil war anniversary.

3 Israeli soldiers killed by Resistance gunfire in south, north Gaza
The Israeli occupation army confirmed the killing of a combat engineering soldier of the Northern Brigade in the battles in northern Gaza. Sgt. Yair Eliyahou, 19, from the settlement of Ezer, a Combat Engineering soldier in the Northern Brigade, was killed overnight, the IOF announced, claiming a combat-related operational accident in the northern Gaza Strip. The circumstances of the incident are under investigation, the military said. In addition, Israeli media reported that two soldiers from the Golani Brigade were killed after their tank was struck by an anti-tank rocket in Khan Younis, in the southern Gaza Strip. In related developments, Israeli media reported four 'security incidents' had occurred in the Gaza Strip since this morning, including one in Khan Younis and two in Beit Hanoun, while the fourth is reportedly still under investigation. An Israeli media platform also reported a "difficult incident" that took five hours to resolve, though no further details were disclosed amid a continuing media blackout on battlefield developments. Meanwhile, the al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, announced the shelling of groupings of Israeli occupation forces in the al-Satar area north of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip, with mortar shells. Concurrently, Israeli media reported a "very tough incident" in Khan Younis, noting heavy fire from Israeli helicopters, coinciding with intense artillery shelling in the area. The al-Qassam Brigades had previously announced the shelling of the settlements of Nir Yitzhak and Miftahim with a salvo of Q20 rockets north of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip. Moreover, the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) movement, announced that its Resistance fighters had shelled a gathering of occupation soldiers and vehicles near Street 5 in northern Khan Younis with heavy mortar fire. The group also said its fighters have captured an Israeli EVO MAX drone while it was conducting intelligence missions over Khan Younis. This comes as the Palestinian Resistance in the Gaza Strip continues to confront Israeli incursions, engaging in clashes and ambushing Israeli soldiers and vehicles, causing casualties. Just yesterday, Palestinian Resistance factions in Gaza announced multiple successful operations targeting Israeli vehicles in the Strip, confirming casualties among the Israeli occupation forces. The al-Quds Brigades reported that it targeted an Israeli occupation army command and control headquarters near the Khadra Mosque, north of Khan Younis, with a 107-type rocket, achieving a direct hit. In a joint operation with the Martyr Abu Ali Mustafa Brigades (the military wing of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine), the al-Quds Brigades also shelled Israeli occupation forces stationed on al-Badaw Street in the western al-Satar area, north of Khan Younis, with a barrage of mortar shells. Meanwhile, the al-Qassam Brigades announced targeting an Israeli troop carrier with a Yassin 105 shell on al-Mujamma al-Islami Street in the city of Khan Younis, southern Gaza Strip. The Palestinian Resistance faction also stated that during the attack, they saw the military vehicle catch fire and a helicopter land to evacuate casualties, noting that the incident occurred around noon on Wednesday. Meanwhile, the al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades destroyed an Israeli military vehicle using a highly explosive Asif 3 device in the town of al-Qarara, north of Khan Younis. As part of the ongoing Al-Aqsa Flood Operation, Palestinian Resistance fighters persist in attacking Israeli forces operating inside the Gaza Strip, causing Israeli military casualties with both killed and wounded soldiers.

‘Comments speak for themselves': What Trump admin said on his India-Pakistan truce claim
Ever since India and Pakistan reached a cessation of hostilities in May, US President Donald Trump has been claiming credit for brokering the truce. When asked about Trump's repeated claims, that have time and again been denied by India, US State Department Spokesperson Tammy Bruce kept her answer ambiguous. US President Donald Trump has been claiming credit for brokering the India-Pak truce(REUTERS) She said people have direct access to world events, and are free to form their own opinions rather than rely on commentary. "So many comments speak for themselves. That's one of the good news aspects of our modern world is that people can see what's really occurring," Bruce said, adding that one doesn't have to rely on a comment to know the truth. India and Pakistan were engaged in a military conflict since May 7 when India launched Operation Sindoor, a response to the Pahalgam terror attack from April 22. After days of drone and missile strikes from both sides targeting each other's military infrastructure, India announced on May 10 that New Delhi and Islamabad has agreed to the cessation of hostilities. Foreign secretary Vikram Misri had announced that the agreement was reached following talks between the Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) of Pakistan and India. However, Trump claimed credit for brokering the ceasefire, and in the coming days also linked the truce to a trade deal offered to India and Pakistan by him, a claim New Delhi has rejected on multiple occasions. When asked about Trump not budging on the claim despite rebuttals, the US State Department Spokesperson on Wednesday said, "The world is playing out in front of us in real time on big screens and small screens. Everyone will have an opinion. That is an opinion. Some opinions are wrong; mine rarely are. But other people's opinions can be wrong...". She also added that JD Vance, Vice President of the United States, was also involved in the negotiations with Pakistan and India. However, at the peak of the India-Pakistan conflict on May 9, Vance had said the issue was 'fundamentally none of our business'. 'We can't control these countries, though. Fundamentally, India has its gripes with Pakistan, and Pakistan has responded to India. What we can do is to urge these folks to de-escalate a little bit, but we are not going to get involved in a war that is fundamentally none of our business and has nothing to do with America's ability to control it," Vance had said. Most recently, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar had clarified that the ceasefire between India and Pakistan was reached with negotiations between the DGMOs of the two countries and not any trade talk.
