Proxy War Reaches India’s Northeast: The arrest of six Ukrainians and one American by India’s National Investigation Agency (NIA) for allegedly “importing huge consignments of drones from Europe” for armed ethnic organizations in Myanmar is casting an unflattering spotlight on Washington’s regional strategy. The U.S. continues to back a military-linked government in Pakistan while, in military-ruled Myanmar, it is seeking regime change by aiding rebel groups — an approach that is increasingly blurring into proxy warfare with destabilizing regional consequences, especially for Indian border states like Manipur and Mizoram. According to the NIA, the militant groups in Myanmar that the accused mercenaries were assisting have arms and training links with insurgent organizations in India’s northeast. The seven men entered India’s remote Mizoram state without the permits required under Indian law before crossing the porous border into Myanmar with drones and other supplies. They were arrested after their return to India. Myanmar’s internal conflict — fueled by external powers located far from the region — is spilling across borders. Myanmar’s deepening instability is already leading to an influx of refugees and militants into Indian states like Manipur and Mizoram, complicating India’s internal-security challenges. In submissions before a New Delhi court, the NIA stated that the actions of the accused mercenaries posed a direct threat to India’s national security, invoking Section 18 of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA), which pertains to conspiracy to commit terrorist acts. The most prominent among those arrested is the American, Matthew Aaron Van Dyke, who has previously participated in armed conflicts in Libya and Syria, where the rulers were toppled with external assistance. The NIA alleges that he was leveraging that combat experience to train Myanmar-based insurgents in drone warfare, including assembly and jamming techniques. Taken together, the arrests point to a more troubling reality: India’s sensitive northeast is no longer merely adjacent to the Myanmar conflict; it risks becoming an operational corridor. For New Delhi, this is no longer a distant instability but a direct security challenge.

Breaking: India acknowledges divisions within BRICS on US-Iran war "Look, we hold the Presidency of BRICS. It works on consensus. In this conflict, several members are involved and it is difficult to bridge the gap in their positions. But we remain engaged with everyone."

Pakistan champions the Palestine cause and decried Israeli actions in Gaza, but then barbarically strikes a drug rehab hospital in the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, KILLING over 400 people! Pakistan’s constant threats against Israel in the name of the Ummah are all performative. Pakistan killed thousands of Palestinians during Black September, oppresses the Pashtun and Baloch minorities within its own borders, and now kills the most vulnerable and desperate people in neighboring Afghanistan.

⚡️BREAKING German Foreign Minister on the Strait of Hormuz: If the U.S. military is unable to secure Hormuz, European forces will most likely be unable to do so either We will need an agreement with Arab states and Iran to restore shipping

Spoke with my brother HH Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE and conveyed advance Eid greetings. We discussed the current situation in West Asia. Reiterated India’s strong condemnation of all attacks on the UAE that have resulted in loss of innocent lives and damage to civilian infrastructure. We agreed on the importance of ensuring safe and free navigation through the Strait of Hormuz. We will continue to work together for the early restoration of peace, security and stability in the region. @MohamedBinZayed

Turkish President Erdogan on Israel: We all know that the purpose of the attacks targeting Gaza first, then Yemen and Lebanon, and most recently Iran is not solely about security. It is certainly no coincidence that, alongside these attacks, various absurd notions—from the delusion of “promised lands” to apocalyptic scenarios—are being brought to the agenda. A network that has gained power and sees itself as superior to others is dragging our region step by step toward disaster.

Discussions across Think Tanks and Industry Associations on deteriorating situation in #WestAsia have rightly become intense . Just finished one @nasscom and looking forward to the following @CiiSouth @contactniice and at @USIofIndia @vifindia @MEAIndia @PMOIndia @UsanasF
