Pakistan Train Attack: A suicide blast targeting a passenger train in Balochistan has killed at least 47 people (including 20 soldiers) and injured dozens, with the Baloch Liberation Army claiming responsibility as officials warn the toll could rise. Regional Diplomacy: As Hajj season begins, Pakistan’s mediation between the US and Iran is in focus again—China says it’s ready to help restore peace, while Pakistan’s PM Shehbaz tells Beijing to “really be together” to stabilize the Middle East. Energy Watch: Shipping through the Strait of Hormuz is slowly reopening, with LNG and Iraqi crude tankers leaving toward China and Pakistan after months of disruption. Oman & Gulf: Oman has resumed drone permits in designated green zones and confirmed Eid Al Adha private-sector holidays (5 paid days). Economy & Trade: Pakistan and China are deepening ties from yuan-based trade to new bond and digital deals, while Pakistan’s stock market surged sharply. Road Safety: A separate crash in northwest Pakistan killed 17 as Eid travel crowds hit the roads.
