Afghanistan
Preliminary Data of an Explosion in Kabul: The Explosion Injures Two People
[KhaamaPress] The Taliban
...Arabic for students...
’s office of the chief of police in Kabul has reported a kaboom in Kabul’s 11th district, confirming that at least two persons were maimed in the incident, according to initial reports.

The explosion was caused by explosives planted on a bicycle on the Maryam High School (Laisa-e-Maryam) road, according to Khalid Zadran, the front man for Kabul Police.

He said two civilian bystanders were maimed in the earth-shattering kaboom and that no further information was available.

There has been no claim of responsibility for the earth-shattering kaboom by any group or individual.

Explosions in the capital and provinces have increased dramatically, killing scores of people, including 22 children.

The ISIS grabbed credit for the series of explosions in Mazar-e-Sharif, which resulted in many civilian fatalities.

The ISIS grabbed credit for the attacks in Mazar-e-Sharif, through to the Aamaq News Agency, which frequently broadcasts ISIS-related propaganda and activity.

The Taliban, on the other hand, disputes that there has been a rise in insecurity.

The Taliban in Kandahar Stops Arms and Ammunition from Being Smuggled into Pakistan
[KhaamaPress] A man has been caught in Kandahar province in connection with weaponry smuggling to Pakistain, according to local Taliban
...the Pashtun equivalent of men...
officials.

On Saturday, 28th of May, the Bakhtar state news agency stated that Taliban forces had discovered and apprehended a man who was attempting to smuggle a substantial quantity of weapons and ammunition through Spin Boldak.

Four Kalashnikovs, three M16s, three PK machine guns, 900 heavy machine gun bullets, 33 grenades, and other ammunition were discovered with the detainee, according to the report.

Taliban security officials in Ghazni province had previously announced the arrest of three people in connection with weapons smuggling into Pakistain.

Military equipment is alleged to have been smuggled out of Afghanistan and into neighboring countries, mainly Pakistain, following the fall of the Afghan government.

According to recent reports, US weaponry used in Afghanistan were transferred across Pakistain to Indian Kashmir
...a disputed territory lying between India and Pakistain. After partition, the Paks grabbed half of it and call it Azad (Free) Kashmir. The remainder they refer to as "Indian Occupied Kashmir". They have fought four wars with India over it, the score currently 4-0 in New Delhi's favor. After 72 years of this nonsense, India cut the Gordian knot in 2019, removing the area's special status, breaking off Ladakh as a separate state, and allowing people from other areas to settle (or in the case of the Pandits, to resettle) there....
. The weapons were discovered, according to reports, by Indian officials.

Ten terrorists killed, one arrested in a raid on hideout in North Sinai terrorists
[AlAhram] Ten bad boyz were potted, and one more was arrested during a raid on a hideout in North Sinai governorate as part of ongoing anti-terror operations, the Egyptian Armed Forces announced on Sunday.

The Armed Forces recovered a number of small arms, hand grenades, boom belts, rocket launchers and wireless devices, as well as a quantity of ammunition and high explosives.

The statement added that an injured terrorist was arrested while attempting to escape the hideout.

The Egyptian Army added that legal measures are being taken against him by investigating authorities following his arrest.

This is the latest in a series of raids launched by the Egyptian Armed Forces in North Sinai against terrorist hideouts in May.

On 7 May, the Egyptian Armed Forces announced the death of an officer and 10 soldiers as well as the injury of five others after foiling an attack launched by a group of turbans on a water lifting station in western Sinai.

A branch of the terrorist group Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
(IS) — that was formerly known as Ansar Beit al-Maqdisgrabbed credit for the 7 May attack, which was the first major terrorist attack in North Sinai in recent years.

A day after the attack, President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi directed the Armed Forces during a meeting of the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF) to continue purging North Sinai of terrorists.

In 2018, the Armed Forces launched a major counter-terrorism drive dubbed "Comprehensive Operation Sinai 2018" that succeeded in almost eradicating terrorism from North Sinai as well as the Nile Delta and desert areas.

As a result, the rate of terrorist attacks in North Sinai has declined in the past few years following massive and successive security and military operations.

Undercover border cop lightly injured, 3 Palestinians wounded in West Bank clash
[israelTimes] Military says rioter threw bomb in Dheisheh refugee camp; 2 detained in Tulkarem on suspicion of terror activities; reported shooting toward Israeli car, no injuries

An undercover Border Police officer was lightly injured Sunday morning during festivities between Israeli security forces and Paleostinians in the Dheisheh refugee camp south of Bethlehem.

The officer was lightly hurt by shrapnel when an bomb was thrown toward troops during an operation inside the refugee camp.

The officer was taken to Jerusalem’s Shaare Zedek Medical Center for treatment.

According to reports, three Paleostinians were also maimed in the festivities with Israeli troops. There were no further details on their conditions.

In a statement, police said that the undercover officer was involved in the operation at the home of a suspect.

When they left the refugee camp, police said, they were attacked by rioters who threw rocks and more bombs.

"Hits were identified at a number of bully boyz who hurled explosives," police said. Police did not say if the suspect was detained.

In a separate operation, the IDF said troops detained two Paleostinians suspected of involvement in terror activities in Danaba, a neighborhood of the West Bank city of Tulkarem, but did not elaborate on the suspicions against the pair. They were taken to be questioned by the Shin Bet security agency.

The IDF also said it received an overnight report of shooting toward an Israeli vehicle at Zif Junction, south of Hebron. The driver was unharmed in the incident, and no damage was caused to his vehicle. Troops went to the scene, where they found several shell casings in the area.

Southeast Asia
Brazen attack in Thai Deep South shatters Ramadan truce
Filed under Page 1: War in Terror on spec. Based on subsequent information we’ll know whether it needs to be moved to Page 3.
[BenarNews] A dramatic attack shattered a nearly two-month-long pause in violence in Thailand’s insurgency-wracked Deep South, when more than 10 button men armed with assault rifles and grenades hit a cop shoppe along the Malaysian border late Wednesday, injuring three security officials, police said.

By Thursday, no one had yet grabbed credit for the attack in the Tak Bai district of Narathiwat province, officials said. Police said it could be the work of smugglers or disgruntled forces of Evil left out of ongoing peace talks between the Thai government and BRN (Barisan Revolusi Nasional), the largest Death Eater group in Thailand’s southern border region.

In the attack — the biggest eruption of violence since the two sides agreed in early April to a 40-day truce to last through Ramadan — police said the button men hurled explosives and opened fire with automatic rifles at a nearby customs office and a convenience store, in addition to the marine cop shoppe along the Kolok River that separates Thailand from Malaysia.
