China shares rare Moon rocks with US despite trade war

India-Pakistan tensions flare after tourist massacre
NEW DELHI/ISLAMABAD — Relations between India and Pakistan are cratering following a deadly militant attack in Indian-administered Kashmir that has sparked tit-for-tat reprisals and raised fears of another military escalation between the nuclear-armed rivals.India and Pakistan both control parts of Kashmir but claim it in full, and have fought three wars over the mountainous territory.

New Delhi swiftly pointed the finger at Pakistan, downgraded ties and suspended its participation in a crucial water-sharing treaty.Pakistan has denied...

Samples from the vomit of students have been sent for lab testing, and police say they have questioned people handling the food, from cooks to packers to delivery workers.A 16-year-old student told local media that the...
