The withdrawal of Russian peacekeepers from Karabakh has begun

Russia has begun withdrawing peacekeepers from the zone of the former Karabakh conflict, Putin’s press secretary said.

As the "Caucasian Knot" wrote, on October 9, 2023, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported that against the backdrop of the closure of peacekeeper observation posts, 25 guard posts were set up to guard weapons seized in Karabakh, including 14 posts jointly with the Azerbaijani military. On the same day, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said that the activities of the peacekeepers would be adapted against the backdrop of the mass exodus of Karabakh residents from the region. The continued presence of peacekeepers in the region is contrary to the interests of Baku, Azerbaijani analysts pointed out.

The presence of peacekeepers in the region until 2025 is provided for by the 2020 trilateral agreement, although their functions may be adjusted, Russian analysts interviewed by the Caucasian Knot indicated in September.

Presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov confirmed information about the beginning of the withdrawal of Russian peacekeepers from Karabakh. “Yes, this is really so,” Kommersant quotes him as saying today.

Late in the evening of April 16, the Azerbaijani publication Oxu.az reported that the Russian peacekeeping contingent was leaving Azerbaijan. In particular, a convoy of Russian equipment passed through the Tartar and Barda regions, the publication says.

The Armenian publication News.am also reported the beginning of a phased withdrawal of peacekeepers, citing diplomatic sources.

India-Pakistan
Security forces kill seven terrorists trying to infiltrate Pak-Afghan border in North Waziristan
[GEO.TV] Security forces have killed seven Death Eaters trying to infiltrate the Pakistain-Afghanistan border
...also known as Pashtunistan, home of ignorance, poverty, and automatic weapons...
in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa’s North Wazoo district, the military’s media wing said on Wednesday.

In a statement, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), said the security forces on April 16 (Tuesday) detected a movement of a group of seven Death Eaters near the Pakistain-Afghanistan border in Spinkai area of Ghulam Khan in the tribal district.

"The infiltrators were surrounded, effectively engaged and after an intense fire exchange, all seven territories were sent to hell," it added.

A large quantity of weapons, ammunition, and explosives was also recovered from the killed terrorists, the statement added.

The statement highlighted that Pakistain has consistently been asking the Taliban
...mindless ferocity in a turban...
-led interim Afghan government to ensure effective border management on their side of the border.

The military urged the interim rulers to fulfill their obligations and deny the use of Afghan soil by Death Eaters for perpetuating acts of terrorism against Pakistain.

"Security forces of Pakistain are determined and remain committed to securing its borders and eliminating the menace of terrorism from the country," read the ISPR’s statement.

Pakistain has time and again urged the Afghan authorities to take meaningful action against Death Eaters using the neighbouring country’s soil to launch attacks inside Pakistain.

Last month, Pakistain carried out an intelligence-based anti-terrorist operation inside Afghanistan on, whose prime target was the Death Eaters belonging to Hafiz Gul Bahadur
...a member of the Madda Khel clan of the Uthmanzai Waziris. Educated in a Deobandi madrassa located in Multan, he is affiliated with the Jamaat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) political party. Upon the formation of the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) in December 2007, he was announced as the group's overall naib amir under Baitullah Mehsud, who was based in South Wazoo, but has largely distanced himself from the TTP due to rivalries with the Mehsuds and disagreements about the TTP's attacks against the Pak state..

Group along with Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistain (TTP).

Hafiz Gul Bahadur Group had earlier grabbed credit for the terrorist attack.

"This group is responsible for multiple terrorist attacks inside Pakistain, resulting in death of hundreds of civilians and law-enforcement officials. The latest attack took place on 16 March 2024 at a security post in Mir Ali in North Waziristan and claimed the lives of seven Pak soldiers," said the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on March 18 after over 13 hours after the operation.

A day earlier, Pakistain Army’s top commanders were briefed on how terrorist groups operating from Afghanistan pose a threat to regional and global security, besides acting as proxies against Pakistain and its economic interests, especially the China-Pakistain Economic Corridor (CPEC).

#1  The social credit system has missiles now

During the early stages of the war, the army gave sweeping approval for officers to adopt Lavender’s kill lists, with no requirement to thoroughly check why the machine made those choices or to examine the raw intelligence data on which they were based. One source stated that human personnel often served only as a “rubber stamp” for the machine’s decisions, adding that, normally, they would personally devote only about “20 seconds” to each target before authorizing a bombing — just to make sure the Lavender-marked target is male….

#3  ^ I can envision this as a fixed-wing loitering eye-in-the-sky coordinating swarms of quadcopter drones equipped with image recognition modules and armed with fentanyl-tipped darts. Rather than serving as a disguise, the traditional black block clothing and keffiyehs only aid in target acquisition.
