Pakistani Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir issued fresh anti-India nuclear threats while simultaneously bombing Afghan civilians, claiming Pakistan's expanding military capabilities could "shatter the misconceived immunity of India's geographical vastness." Speaking at Pakistan Military Academy Kakul, Munir stated "no space for war in nuclearised environment" but warned "minor provocation" would trigger "decisive, beyond proportions" response. He claimed retributive military and economic losses would exceed "imagination and calculations," placing escalation responsibility on India. Ironically, his rhetoric emerges as Pakistani military faces pressure from Afghan Taliban attacks along Durand Line. Previously, Munir delivered similar provocative speech days before Pahalgam's 26-civilian massacre, calling Kashmir Pakistan's "jugular vein."

Zelensky left the White House empty-handed Friday after a "pointed" meeting with Trump, arriving optimistic but leaving without Tomahawk missiles or security guarantees. Ukrainian Parliament Speaker Stefanchuk called it a "very important historical moment" before departure, expecting Trump would understand "Putin is a liar," but mid-flight news of Trump's 2.5-hour Putin call and summit announcement dampened hopes. Trump insisted the war should freeze at existing battle lines with both sides going "home to their families." Zelensky maintained Putin isn't ready for genuine peace while carefully offering effusive praise to Trump. Kyiv residents vowed continued fighting regardless, stating "the only power who decides what's next is our army." 

President Trump acknowledged Friday he might be getting "played" by Putin while negotiating Russia-Ukraine peace, stating "I've been played all my life by the best of them, and I came out really well." Trump proposed stopping the war at current battle lines, suggesting both sides "go home" as otherwise it's "too complicated." During White House meetings with Zelenskyy, Trump leaned against providing requested Tomahawk missiles, citing US stockpile needs and hopes for imminent peace. Trump announced plans for Budapest talks with Putin, suggesting a potential "double meeting" with both leaders. Despite months of brokering attempts, breakthrough remains elusive as Trump urges immediate cessation while implying Moscow retain captured territory.

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh issued a stern warning to Pakistan Saturday, declaring "every inch of Pakistani territory is within BrahMos' reach" while flagging off the first batch of missiles from Lucknow's new BrahMos Aerospace facility. Singh called Operation Sindoor "just a trailer," emphasizing victory has become India's habit. He stated BrahMos has become the backbone of Indian armed forces, strengthening belief in turning dreams into reality. The Lucknow facility, inaugurated May 11, will produce 80-100 missiles annually. Singh confirmed BrahMos team signed contracts worth approximately Rs 4,000 crore with two countries within one month. Operation Sindoor targeted Pakistan's terror infrastructure following April's Pahalgam attack killing 26 people.

Pakistan's Defence Minister Khawaja Asif demanded all Afghans in Pakistan return home, declaring the old relationship era over amid escalating Kabul-Islamabad hostilities. Asif stated Pakistan's land and resources belong to its 250 million citizens, not Afghans. His remarks followed a 48-hour ceasefire expiration, with Taliban accusing Pakistan of Paktika province airstrikes. Asif claimed Pakistan sent 836 protest notes over cross-border terror incidents, warning against further appeals or delegations. He accused Taliban of acting as "India's proxy," conspiring with New Delhi and Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan. Asif cited 10,347 terror attacks since Taliban's 2021 takeover, killing 3,844 people, concluding "self-respecting nations don't thrive on foreign land." (PC: X)
