An emotional ceremony took place at the Wagah-Attari border post separating Pakistan and India on November 3, a day after at least 60 lives were lost in a brutal suicide attack. The bomber struck when people were exiting the compound on the Pakistani side after the daily military parade ended at dusk. An attack of this magnitude was the first of its kind since the military began its offensive on June 15.

Most of Moscow’s military resources are tied up in Ukraine, while Beijing’s foreign policy prioritizes economic ties and avoids direct conflict.
