Reuters reported eleven police feared killed in an attack on a convoy travelling to an illegal gold mining site in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan; a Telegram account, GeoPWatch, gives a lower toll of eight killed and 13 injured. No group has claimed responsibility. Separately, the Maldives has reportedly submitted a bill to make its ban on Israeli passport holders unconditional, removing the link to the Gaza war, per a Telegram channel report.
