SUMMARY
The Lahore High Court dismissed a petition filed by cricketer Umar Rizwan challenging disciplinary actions or selection-related matters by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).

Video: US forces take out floating refuelling station allegedly tied to drug trade
SUMMARY
The US Coast Guard and Navy intercepted and destroyed a floating refueling station in the Eastern Pacific Ocean, believed to be linked to drug trafficking operations. The makeshift platform was allegedly used by narco-traffickers to refuel semi-submersible vessels and speedboats transporting illegal drugs, primarily cocaine, from South America toward the US. Military forces dismantled the station to disrupt cartel supply chains. This operation is part of broader US counter-narcotics efforts aimed at curbing drug flow into the country.
