Pakistan Forest Fire

A Pakistani social media star with millions of followers is facing criticism after posing for a TikTok video by a forest fire, as a devastating heatwave causes widespread misery in the country.

Deep in the forests around the town of Vairengte in Mizoram, three soldiers of the Vietnamese Army are on the hunt for "terrorists". They approach their targets slowly, taking cover behind rocks before opening fire with Indian-made INSAS rifles. This could be a counter-insurgency operation anywhere in the world.

The commandos who went across the Line of Control for surgical strikes, fanned across 250 km of mountainous and forested territory to target seven terrorist "launch pads" or staging areas. They went up to two kilometres deep in Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir and the strikes they launched were simultaneous.

A massive forest fire raging at the LoC in the Mendhar sector in Poonch has destroyed the border fence at several places. The fire that spread to Pakistan also reached a minefield triggering many mine blasts. Several fire tenders were rushed to the spot to bring the fire under control and keep it from spreading, but lack of water is making the job...
