At least 26 people were killed and 17 others wounded when gunmen opened fire on tourists in Indian-controlled Kashmir, the worst assault in years targeting civilians in a restive region that has seen an anti-India rebellion for more than three decades. The attack Tuesday took place in the picturesque town of Pahalgam in the Himalayan mountains, popular with Indian visitors.

President Donald Trump has offered rare criticism of Vladimir Putin, urging the Russian president to “STOP!” after a deadly barrage of attacks on Kyiv, Ukraine’s capital. Trump said in a social media post on Thursday that “I am not happy with the Russian strikes on KYIV. Not necessary, and very bad timing. Vladimir, STOP! 5000 soldiers a week are dying.” Trump also said, “Lets get the Peace Deal DONE!” Trump’s criticism of Putin is notable because Trump has repeatedly said Russia, the aggressor in the conflict, is more willing than Ukraine to get a deal done.

Russia has attacked Kyiv with an hourslong barrage of missiles and drones, killing at least 12 people and wounding around 90.

The attack drew a rare rebuke of Russian President Vladimir Putin from U.S. President Donald Trump, who said he was ”not happy" about it and that Putin should “STOP.”

So many people lined up to see Pope Francis lying in state at St. Peter’s Basilica that the Vatican kept the doors open all night, closing for just one hour from 6 a.m. until 7 a.m. Thursday. The Vatican said more than 50,000 people had paid their last respects in the first 12 hours of the public viewing, which started at 11 a.m. Wednesday. Francis, who died Monday after a stroke, is lying in a simple wooden coffin in front of the main altar, inclined on a slight ramp toward mourners. The Vatican had announced that the basilica would be open until midnight, but then indicated it would extend the hours due to higher-than-expected turnout.

The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency says Iran has agreed to allow in a technical team from the U.N. nuclear watchdog to discuss restoring camera surveillance at its nuclear sites. IAEA head Rafael Mariano Grossi spoke to reporters in Washington on Wednesday after meetings with Iranian leaders in Tehran last week. Grossi says it's a promising sign for U.S.-Iran talks over the Islamic Republic's nuclear program. Grossi says Iranian leaders appear to be engaged in the talks “with a sense of trying to get to an agreement."
