India carried out precision strikes on terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir in the early hours of May 7, following which Pakistan attempted to attack Indian military bases on May 8, 9 and 10. The Indian side responded strongly to the Pakistani actions. The on-ground hostilities ended with an understanding on stopping the military actions following talks between the directors general of military operations of both sides on May 10.

Moscow denies Kyiv's claims of Chinese fighters aiding Russia in Ukraine as 'completely untrue'
MOSCOW — Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Andrey Rudenko on Saturday dismissed claims by Ukrainian officials that Chinese nationals are fighting alongside Russian forces in Ukraine, calling the allegations 'completely untrue.' 'I can say that this is completely untrue, to put it mildly,' Rudenko told the state-run TASS news agency, responding to Kyiv's accusations. He also emphasized that China maintains 'a very balanced and verified position' regarding the conflict in Ukraine, adding that Beijing has consistently supported a political resolution to the crisis. The remarks came two days after Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian also rejected Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's assertion that Chinese military personnel were involved in the war. In a regular press briefing on Thursday, Lin urged 'relevant parties' to view China's stance 'correctly and with clarity' and to refrain from making 'irresponsible remarks.' China has positioned itself as a neutral actor in the Russia-Ukraine conflict, offering a 12-point peace plan early last year and maintaining regular dialogue with both Moscow and Western officials have expressed concern about growing military and economic cooperation between Beijing and Moscow since the full-scale invasion began in February Kremlin and Beijing have repeatedly stated that their partnership is not directed against any third country, describing their ties as a 'strategic comprehensive partnership.' — Agencies
