India, Pak "screamed and yelled": Trump in latest claim of stopping war

In an interaction with the media at Camp David near here, Trump said 11 planes were shot down during the raging war between India and Pakistan, a claim disputed by New Delhi. Trump reiterated his claim to have stopped eight wars during his presidency and asserted that Russian President Vladimir Putin wanted to make a deal to end the war with Ukraine. "We ended the India-Pakistan (war). 11 planes were shot down. That was raging. That was good. I used tariffs. I said, 'If you're going to go to war, 250 per cent tariff.'

MEA dismisses Pakistan's flood allegations as 'baseless' and false

India on Friday rejected reports that the Indian side is "deliberately" causing flooding in Pakistan by releasing river waters and described the allegations as "baseless and contrary to the facts".

The recent increase in flows in the River Chenab is a direct consequence of intense monsoon rainfall over Jammu and adjoining catchment areas during July 20 to 23," External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said. "Significantly, Pakistan's own flood forecasting division, which is based in Lahore, in its flood advisory issued on July 22 -- and let me also give you the time it was issued at 1718 hours local time -- attributed the high flood levels in the Chenab river to heavy rainfall
