At least 32 people were killed and 42 others grievously wounded in a string of suicide attacks in the northeastern Nigerian town of Gwoza on the 29th of June. Saturday's attacks, by suspected female suicide bombers, targeted a wedding, a hospital and a funeral. It was one of the worst attacks in the region in years, a reminder of the dark days of Nigeria's long-running struggle with Islamist militants. Though no group has so far claimed responsibility for the attacks, the needle of suspicion pointed to the Boko Haram group, which is active around Gwoza. The terror of suicide bombings had faded in recent memory but the attacks have precipitated a rude awakening.

Female suicide bombers of Boko Haram behind attacks?

Turkish police detained nearly 500 people after anti-Syrian riots rocked several cities. The spreading unrest was sparked late on 30th June in the central city of Kayseri, after social media reports emerged of a Syrian man sexually abusing a female child relative. Properties and vehicles owned by Syrians were vandalised and set ablaze in Kayseri, and soon after, violence spread to several other provinces, including Istanbul.

Pyongyang claimed to have successfully tested a new tactical ballistic missile capable of carrying a 4.5-tonne “super large warhead” on July 1st. A day earlier, Seoul had reported the launch of two ballistic missiles by North Korea, adding that the second likely failed soon after its launch, blowing up in flight over land. Interestingly, the North Korean state news agency, KCNA, made no mention of the second missile while lauding the launch of the first. Additionally, in a rare disclosure of a future missile launch plan, KCNA said that North Korea's Missile Administration will conduct another launch of the same type of missile this month to test the "explosion power" of the super-large warhead. Mohammed Saleh brings you the details.

At least 23 protesters were killed and hundreds wounded during nationwide protests against tax rises in Kenya on 25th of June. The largely peaceful protests, ongoing for days, escalated on Tuesday, after MPs passed an amended deeply unpopular finance bill. A section of the parliament building in capital Nairobi was set ablaze by angry protesters, who had broken through police lines to storm the parliament. On the same evening, a defiant Kenyan president, William Ruto, labelled the protesters organised criminals, and accused them of participating in a treasonous event. A day after, in a dramatic reversal, Ruto declared that the bill containing contentious tax hikes would be withdrawn. But protests have continued with protesters now clamouring for president Ruto's resignation. Jyotsna Kumar brings you the details.

The Russian republic of Dagestan was jolted by a spate of terror attacks on 23rd of June. Two synagogues, two eastern orthodox churches and a police post in two of the largest cities of Dagestan, Derbent and Makhachkala, were simultaneously attacked by armed men on Sunday evening. At least 22 people, including 16 police officers & a Russian orthodox priest, were killed and 46 others wounded in the deadliest terror attack in Russia since March. At least five of the attackers were also killed in the ensuing gun battle. No group has so far claimed responsibility for the attacks. But the attack on Christian and Jewish places of worship has given rise to suspicion that the predominantly Muslim region of Dagestan is facing a renewed militant Islamist threat. The Russian authorities though have pinned the blame on Ukraine and the West, without giving evidence. As Russia focuses its resources to counter threats from Ukraine, has it turned a blind eye to the danger posed by homegrown Islamist violence? Jyotsna Kumar brings you the details.

Is Russia turning a blind eye to militant Islamist danger?

The South American nation of Bolivia watched in shock and bewilderment as President Luis Arce thwarted an apparent attempted coup on 29th of June. The man leading the attempted coup d'etat, Army General Juan Jose Zuniga was arrested on live television, hours after he led troops and tanks to storm the presidential palace in the capital, La Paz. But before his arrest, General Zuniga created an uproar by alleging, without providing evidence, that President Arce himself had ordered the General to stage an uprising to trigger a crackdown that would make President Arce look strong and boost his sagging approval rating. Is there more to the attempted coup d'etat than meets the eye?

Did Prez Arce order the staged uprising?

The People's Liberation army is the armed wing of the Chinese Communist party and the military of the People's Republic of China. One of the largest military forces in the world, The People's Liberation army is led by the Central Military Commission, its top decision-making body whose chairman serves as the Commander-in-chief. What happens when the supreme leader casts aspersions on an institution, calling it corrupt? The Chinese President Xi Jinping, who is also the chairman of the Central Military Commission, besides holding the post of general secretary of the Communist Party of China central committee, said that there were deep-seated problems in the Chinese military's politics, ideology, work style and discipline. The statement came at a military-political work conference initiated by Xi himself that was held in Yan'an of northwest China's Shaanxi province from 16th to 19th June. What prompted the Chinese president to underscore the significance of enhancing political loyalty in the military in the new era besides the ramifications of this chiding?

The war in Sudan has raged for more than fourteen months between the Sudanese armed forces, helmed by army chief Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan, and the powerful paramilitary Rapid Support forces, spearheaded by Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo. El Fasher, the provincial capital of North Darfur, is the only state capital of the five Darfur states not under RSF control. Previously a key humanitarian hub, El Fasher has emerged as the fiercest battleground recently. The United Nations security council, on 13th of June, called for an immediate halt to the fighting and the siege of El Fasher by RSF. A few days later, on 18th June, Sudan accused the United Arab Emirates of fomenting conflict in the country, a charge flatly denied by the Gulf state. UAE, as well as Iran, have been accused of violating a UN arms embargo by supplying drones to the warring sides in the 14-month civil war which has devastated Sudan. Jyotsna Kumar brings you the details.

Close to nine months of Israel-Gaza war has resulted in deaths of more than 37,500 Palestinians. At least 85,000 have been wounded, most of the enclaves flattened & nearly the entire 2.3 million Gazan population has been uprooted from their homes and are now besieged with a starvation crisis. All this in the name of eliminating Hamas, the armed group that governs the besieged enclave and perpetrators of the October 7th cross-border attack into southern Israel in which some 1,200 Israelis were killed and 250 taken hostage. 120 of these hostages are still being held by Hamas. But how close is Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu to achieving the stated goal of eliminating Hamas' military and governing capabilities in the Palestinian territory?

At least 9 people were killed and 29 injured in a Russian ballistic missile strike on Ukraine's southern city of Kryvyi Rih on the 12th of June. Not only is Kryvyi Rih Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky's hometown, but it was the deadliest Russian attack on Ukraine in weeks. A day earlier, Ukrainian president Zelensky said that Russia had destroyed half of his country's electricity generating capacity, since it began pummelling its energy facilities in late March. Amidst this doom and gloom, some much needed good news came from Puglia, southern Italy where the G7 leaders agreed on a new $50 billion loan for war-ravaged Ukraine using profits from frozen Russian assets. It's definitely a shot in the arm for Ukraine but will it be enough in countering Russia? Jyotsna Kumar brings you the details.

The Union territory of Jammu & Kashmir has been a flashpoint between India and Pakistan for over seven decades. The Himalayan region has been roiled by militant violence since the start of an anti-Indian insurgency in 1989 that left tens of thousands of civilians, soldiers and rebels dead, although violence recently had tapered off. The troubled region witnessed a spurt in militant attacks beginning on the day a new government, under the leadership of Narendra Modi, was sworn in. As many as four terror attacks in four days resulted in the death of at least 12 people, besides injuring dozens, thereby putting the spotlight back on the restive region. Jyotsna Kumar brings you the details.

As the Argentine lawmakers debated a swath of liberalizing reforms, hundreds of Argentine riot police fired rubber bullets, teargas & water cannons at demonstrators in a bid to disperse them. The defiant protesters pelted stones, set cars ablaze and threw Molotov cocktails, fearful that the proposed measures will hurt millions of Argentines. The local media described the scene on Wednesday as resembling a battlefield. The President's office too struck a defiant tone, describing the protesters as terrorists attempting to carry out a coup d'etat. Finally, in the early hours of Thursday, Argentine president Javier Milei's controversial economic reform package won Senate approval. Jyotsna Kumar brings you the details.
