Thailand Declares 15-day Mourning Period Following Death Of Princess Bajrakitiyabha

Princess Sirivannavari, the late princess’s half-sister, expressed the profound sense of loss she is experiencing, writing that sitting alone feels incredibly lonely and confessing that she still lacks the courage to open their unfinished chat messages. Describing Princess Bajrakitiyabha as “the wind beneath her wings,” she pledged to remember her forever, reflecting on their close bond, childhood memories, and family travels. She fondly recalled the times they spent sitting side by side, constantly talking, consulting each other on every matter, and sharing their worries and daily updates.

The princess also shared cherished memories of accompanying their father, His Majesty King Maha Vajiralongkorn, at royal ceremonies. She recounted the joy of walking behind her sister, whom she affectionately called “Phi Bha,” and the quiet moments they spent sitting together with the King, secretly teasing him and joking around. In a touching glimpse into their private lives, she remembered a period when they sat together catching Pokémon on their phones within the grounds of the Grand Palace. She also reminisced about a family road trip through the cities of Italy, where their father drove, Phi Bha navigated, and she sat in the back seat eating snacks and passing supplies forward.

Beyond her personal grief, Princess Sirivannavari highlighted the late princess’s exceptional character, describing her as a highly capable, strong, determined, and decisive woman who possessed extraordinary endurance. She noted that her sister gave her all to everything in life, excelling in her studies and whatever she set out to achieve, while also being highly skilled in Thai classical music, particularly the chakhe. Princess Sirivannavari revealed that the late princess was her ultimate inspiration in equestrian sports, vowing to continue training with dedication and to take the best possible care of the Royal Mounted Unit in her honor.

Meanwhile, Princess Siribha Chudabhorn, the late princess’s cousin and daughter of Her Royal Highness Princess Chulabhorn, also shared a heartbreaking tribute that captured the raw pain of the family’s bereavement. Expressing the deep difficulty of navigating life without her cousin, she wrote about the unspoken agony of letting go. She described the sleepless nights, skipped meals, and forced smiles, painting a vivid picture of staring at the ceiling at 3 a.m. and crying herself to sleep while learning how to live without someone she never wanted to lose.

    FO rejects India’s criticism of AJK elections

    Pakistan’s Foreign Office (FO) has strongly rejected India’s criticism of the ongoing Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) legislative elections, saying New Delhi has neither the legal standing nor the moral authority to question the democratic process in the region. Speaking at the weekly media briefing on Thursday, Foreign Office spokesperson Tahir Andrabi dismissed remarks made by India’s Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), which had described the AJK elections as a “farce.” He termed India’s comments baseless, politically motivated and an attempt to undermine a democratic process being conducted under the constitutional and legal framework of Azad Jammu and Kashmir. Andrabi said the elections are taking place in a peaceful, transparent and orderly manner despite security challenges, reflecting the democratic aspirations and political will of the people of AJK. He added that Pakistan remains committed to ensuring a free and fair electoral process in the region. The spokesperson said India’s criticism comes as the seventh anniversary of New Delhi’s August 5, 2019 decision to revoke the special constitutional status of Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) is being observed. He maintained that those unilateral measures violated international law, relevant United Nations Security Council (UNSC) resolutions and India’s own international commitments. He reiterated Pakistan’s position that Jammu and Kashmir remains an internationally recognised disputed territory, whose final status should be determined through a UN-supervised plebiscite in accordance with relevant UNSC resolutions and the wishes of the Kashmiri people. Andrabi also accused India of attempting to divert global attention from alleged human rights violations and restrictions on political freedoms in occupied Kashmir. He said references to casualty figures and other claims made by Indian authorities cannot overshadow concerns raised by the international community over the situation in the region. Responding to another question regarding India’s reaction to Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar’s recent remarks on Youm-e-Istehsal, Andrabi described the Indian statement as an effort to justify its policies in occupied Kashmir. He alleged that a heavy military presence, strict security laws and demographic changes continue to affect the Muslim-majority character of the territory. He further claimed that development projects promoted by India cannot replace the Kashmiri people’s right to self-determination

    Pakistan’s external debt rises by Rs1.24 trillio…

      Pakistan’s external debt has started rising again after recording a decline during the first nine months of the 2025-26 fiscal year, with official data showing a sharp increase during the final quarter. According to government documents, the country’s external debt increased by more than Rs1.24 trillion between March and June 2026. During the same three-month period, the government’s total debt rose by around Rs3.11 trillion, reflecting a significant increase in both external and domestic borrowing. The data shows that the government’s domestic debt increased by more than Rs1.87 trillion from March to June 2026. As a result, total domestic debt reached approximately Rs59.44 trillion by June 2026. Pakistan’s total external debt stood at around Rs22.96 trillion in March 2026. By the end of June, the figure had climbed to approximately Rs24.20 trillion, marking an increase of more than Rs1.24 trillion in just three months. The latest increase reverses the downward trend recorded earlier in the fiscal year. Pakistan reduced its external debt by around Rs207 billion during the first three months of 2026. From June 2025 to March 2026, the country’s external debt declined by approximately Rs458 billion.   The largest increase during the latest quarter came from long-term external borrowing. Government figures show that long-term external debt stood at around **Rs19.72 trillion in March 2026**, but increased to approximately **Rs21.77 trillion by June**, representing an increase of more than Rs2 trillion. In contrast, short-term external debt declined significantly during the same period. It fell by around Rs506 billion over the three months, partially offsetting the increase in long-term borrowing. The figures indicate that while Pakistan had made progress in reducing its external debt earlier in the fiscal year, borrowing picked up considerably during the final quarter. The sharp rise in long-term external liabilities remains a key factor behind the overall increase in the country’s external debt.

    Houthis claim attack on Saudi Tanker as US Naval b…

    Yemen’s Houthi rebels have claimed responsibility for targeting a Saudi oil tanker in the Red Sea with ballistic missiles, alleging the vessel violated a blockade on Saudi ports announced by the group last week . The Houthi military spokesman identified the ship as the NCC Ghazal, stating it had been “forced to turn back” after ignoring warnings. This attack is the latest in a series of maritime operations by the Iran-aligned group, which previously claimed to have targeted two Saudi tankers, the Encelia and Layla, and to have forced around ten ships to retreat . In a related development, the US Central Command (CENTCOM) announced on Tuesday that it has redirected 18 commercial vessels, disabled two, and boarded two others as part of its ongoing naval blockade against Iran . The intensified maritime operations come amid a complex regional conflict involving US-Iran hostilities, with CENTCOM stating there are more than 20 ships currently supporting military operations in the Middle East . The Houthi actions and the US naval blockade add new layers of tension to the region’s shipping lanes, critical for global energy supplies, and coincide with broader diplomatic efforts to de-escalate the wider conflict.
