  • Security Situation In Kashmir Following Deadly Explosion In Delhi
    DUKAS_191048477_NUR
    Security Situation In Kashmir Following Deadly Explosion In Delhi
    Indian policemen guard along a road in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, on November 13, 2025. Security is on high alert across the Kashmir Valley and along the international border with Pakistan following a deadly explosion near the historic Red Fort in Old Delhi, which kills at least twelve people. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, on November 11, calls a deadly car explosion near the historic Red Fort in the heart of the capital that kills at least twelve people a ''conspiracy,'' vowing those responsible face justice. Meanwhile, India's government confirms on Wednesday that it treats a car blast that kills twelve people and wounds at least 20 others in Delhi as a ''terror incident'' and vows to bring the perpetrators to justice as swiftly as possible.

    'This may be just the beginning': the guards at Finland’s closed Russian border
    As remote Arctic crossing points are shut, officers say they plan to stick to the job in the glare of a geopolitical spotlight.

    Standing inside the border station at Raja-Jooseppi - with leather gloves tucked into his fleece-lined hat on the table in front of him and snow falling in the darkness outside - Lt Col Ville Ahtiainen paused to reflect on the geopolitical drama that has descended on this remote part of the Arctic.

    The deputy commander of the Lapland Border Guard. "I hope this is over and we can back get to normal life, but we will see."

    Little more than an hour before, the final vehicles had been allowed to cross Finland's last open land border crossing with Russia before the entire 830-mile (1,340km) frontier closed for at least two weeks.

    All nine Finland-Russia crossing points will now be closed until at least 13 December, with people seeking asylum in Finland directed instead to airports and ports.

    'This may be just the beginning': the guards at Finland’s closed Russian border
    As remote Arctic crossing points are shut, officers say they plan to stick to the job in the glare of a geopolitical spotlight.

    Standing inside the border station at Raja-Jooseppi - with leather gloves tucked into his fleece-lined hat on the table in front of him and snow falling in the darkness outside - Lt Col Ville Ahtiainen paused to reflect on the geopolitical drama that has descended on this remote part of the Arctic.

    The deputy commander of the Lapland Border Guard. "I hope this is over and we can back get to normal life, but we will see."

    Little more than an hour before, the final vehicles had been allowed to cross Finland's last open land border crossing with Russia before the entire 830-mile (1,340km) frontier closed for at least two weeks.

    All nine Finland-Russia crossing points will now be closed until at least 13 December, with people seeking asylum in Finland directed instead to airports and ports.
