India violating ceasefire along LoC, say security sources
Pakistan has rejected recent Indian media reports claiming that Pakistani drones violated the Line of Control (LoC), calling the allegations 'fabricated and baseless,' according to security sources.
'Indian media is once again airing false and concocted stories about Pakistani drone activity near the LoC,' the sources said, adding that no Pakistani drone had crossed the border or violated Indian airspace.
Security officials described the Indian claims as a 'bundle of lies,' consistent with what they characterised as India's long-standing pattern of misinformation.
Asserting that the real violations were being committed by India, the sources noted that 'Pakistan has been fully adhering to the ceasefire agreement.'
'In reality, it is Indian drones that have been breaching the ceasefire along the Line of Control and Working Boundary,' they added.

After the intervention of US President Donald Trump, Pakistan and India agreed to a full and immediate ceasefire on Saturday following days of intense military exchanges that raised fears of a full-scale conflict between the two nuclear-armed neighbours.
Earlier, Pakistan and India have also held the first round of talks between their Directors General of Military Operations (DGMOs) via hotline after ceasefire.
Tensions flared between Pakistan and India after a deadly attack in Pahalgam in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir. India blamed Pakistan-based elements without providing evidence and launched missile strikes in Pakistan. Islamabad strongly denied the claim.
In response to continued Indian aggression, Pakistan Armed Forces responded with the launch of 'Operation Bunyanum Marsoos'.
Pakistani military hit 26 Indian military facilities and dozens of Pakistani drones hovered over major Indian cities, including capital New Delhi, in the offensive operations, DG ISPR Lt Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry said on Sunday.

UK launches digital eVisas for Pakistani students, workers
Listen to article The United Kingdom has officially introduced digital eVisas for Pakistani students and workers, marking a significant step towards a modernised and streamlined immigration process. Starting from July 15, 2025, most primary applicants applying for UK study or work-related visas will no longer require a physical sticker visa in their passports. Instead, they will be issued a digital record of their immigration status, known as an eVisa. An eVisa is an online confirmation of an individual's permission to enter, stay, or work in the UK. It also outlines any conditions attached to their immigration status. This digital status can be accessed and managed through an online UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) account. The change does not affect an individual's immigration status or the conditions of their stay but represents a shift in how this information is stored and shared. According to the British High Commission in Islamabad, the eVisa system aims to make the visa process more secure, efficient, and user-friendly. British High Commissioner Jane Marriott CMG OBE emphasised the convenience of the new system, stating that the transition to eVisas would simplify the process for Pakistani students and professionals. 'These changes to the UK visa system will make it much simpler for students and workers to prove their identity and visa status. It also means applicants can hold onto their passports, saving them time,' she said. The rollout applies to a wide range of visa categories. These include students—both for long-term and short-term study up to 11 months—along with individuals applying under the Global Business Mobility routes such as Senior or Specialist Workers, Graduate Trainees, and Secondment Workers. Other eligible categories include Global Talent, International Sportspersons, Skilled Workers (including those in the Health and Care sector), various Temporary Work routes, and applicants under the Youth Mobility Scheme. eVisa holders will be able to link their travel documents, such as passports, to their UKVI accounts to enable smoother international travel. Through the 'view and prove' service, individuals can securely share their immigration status with employers, landlords, or other authorised entities, particularly in England. However, not all visa applicants will receive an eVisa at this stage. Those applying as dependants or under visa categories not related to work or study—such as general visitor visas—will still be issued a physical sticker visa. Similarly, individuals who already possess valid physical visa stickers do not need to take any action, as their existing documents remain valid. This is part of a phased approach by the UK Home Office to fully digitise its immigration system. The goal is to eventually replace all physical immigration documents with secure, accessible digital records. The transition to eVisas aligns with global trends in immigration management and reflects the UK's commitment to using technology to improve the customer experience for visa applicants worldwide.
