Afghanistan has said it had thwarted Pakistan's attempted airstrikes on Bagram airbase, the former US military base north of Kabul, as cross-border fighting between the two countries stretched into a fourth day. Months of clashes have flared up again since Thursday, when Afghanistan launched attacks along the frontier and Pakistani forces hit back on the border and from the skies.
Since early September, President Donald Trump has overseen a U.S. military campaign targeting boats accused of smuggling drugs through the Caribbean Sea and eastern Pacific Ocean that has now killed more than 100 people, according to a detailed investigation by The New York Times. The operation began Sept. 2, with the U.S. military carrying out airstrikes against vessels the Trump administration says were involved in maritime drug trafficking.
