Former Pakistan foreign minister Bilawal Zardari Bhutto says the differences between his country and neighboring Iran are "very worrying" for the region's stability. Pakistan used rockets and drones to strike militant Baloch militants inside Iran on Thursday, two days after Tehran sacked the bases of another group within Pakistani territory. The neighbors have had turbulent relations in the past, but the attacks were the first-profile cross-border intrusions in recent years and came against a backdrop of increased tensions.

Khan, who was deposed in a no-confidence vote in April 2022 but who is still the country's top opposition figure, had concealed assets after selling state gifts, according to the court. According to senior police officer Ali Nasir Rizvi, the former cricket star was rushed from his home in the eastern city of Lahore to Islamabad. Khan was taken from a high-security prison in Attock, Punjab, that is notorious for its harsh conditions. Inmates are among the murderers and terrorists facing trial. Khan's party sent a video message showing him at his Lahore home behind a desk with the Pakistani and PTI flags in the background. He warned his followers that if the news made them, he would be in jail by the time they got them and that they should not remain in their homes and should not sit quietly.

Khan was pulled out and led into an armoured car before escorting outrage from his allies around the globe, as shown by a dramatic video. His deposition came after months of diplomatic turmoil, when the retired international cricketer was chastised for claiming that a senior officer was complicit in a plot to murder him, which resulted in an assassination attempt last year. Since being ousted from office in April last year, more than 100 lawsuits have been lodged against Khan, including abuse and terrorism. In the majority of cases, Khan would be refused to hold public office if found guilty. According to reports, his detention today was specifically in connection with the allegation that he, his wife, and others accomplices entered a financial deal that resulted in the loss of £190 billion to the Treasury.
