 Pakistan says 29 militants killed in cross-border strikes near Afghanistan border  Pakistani security forces conducted a ground operation along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border on Sunday, followed by targeted “calibrated strikes” on suspected militant hideouts, killing 29 fighters, according to officials. Authorities said the operation was carried out in response to a series of militant attacks across the country. There was no immediate reaction from Afghan authorities. In recent years, Pakistan has faced a rise in militant violence targeting police and security personnel, with officials frequently blaming the Pakistani Taliban, known as Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), and allied groups.

 Nigeria ranked most generous country in the world


Nigeria has been ranked as the most generous country in the world. 


Charities Aid Foundation (CAF), a leading international charity organisation, released its latest global study on charitable giving.


The foundation’s World Giving Report surveyed more than 60,000 people across 105 countries to assess global giving patterns and the factors influencing generosity.


According to the report, 61 per cent of respondents made donations in 2025, either directly to people in need, charities or for religious purposes, down slightly from 64 per cent in 2024.

The study found that, on average, people donated one per cent of their income, although the figures varied across regions. 


Africans gave an average of 1.6 per cent of their income, compared with 0.6 per cent in Europe.


Nigeria topped the global rankings, with people donating an average of 2.8 per cent of their income to charities, religious causes or individuals in need.


The report also showed that the ten most generous countries are all located in Africa and Asia.


Managing Director of the Charities Aid Foundation, Mark Greer, said the actions of individuals, charities, businesses and governments could help build stronger societies.


“Giving is deeply personal based on different factors including values, circumstances and experiences. By understanding these influences and how they appear around the world, we can learn what drives vibrant cultures of giving to support the resilience of civil society.


“We all have a role to play in growing giving. Encouraging conversations, and more importantly, action by individuals, charities, businesses, and governments can help build stronger and more thriving civil societies.”


The ranking comes amid persistent economic hardship in Nigeria.
