Following India's strike on terror camps in Pakistan under 'OPERATION SINDOOR', a disinformation campaign was launched by Pakistan. Pro-Pakistan social media and political figures spread fake news, including false claims of military victories and downed Indian jets. Fabricated videos and images were circulated to mislead the public and distort reality, aiming to manipulate perceptions across the region.

The Press Information Bureau (PIB) has debunked Pakistan's false claims of striking an Indian military base in Amritsar, exposing the circulated video as wildfire footage from Chile in February 2024. PIB also refuted claims of shooting down an Indian Rafale jet, clarifying the image was old and unrelated to 'Operation Sindoor.

Following Indian airstrikes on terror bases in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, a loud explosion was reported in Lahore, leading to temporary flight suspensions in Karachi, Lahore, and Sialkot. 'Operation Sindoor,' a tri-service mission, targeted Jaish-e-Mohammed, Lashkar-e-Taiba, and Hizbul Mujahideen infrastructure in response to the Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 people, asserting India's right to act against cross-border terrorism.

Pakistan's defence minister, Khwaja Asif, faced scrutiny on CNN after claiming Pakistan shot down five Indian jets during Operation Sindoor. He cited social media as his source, drawing a sharp response from the anchor. This followed India's Operation Sindoor, which targeted terrorist bases in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, responding to the Phalgam attack that killed 26 people.

Tensions escalate along the India-Pakistan border following «Operation Sindoor,» a retaliatory strike against terrorist camps in Pakistan and PoJK. Indian armed forces targeted LeT and JeM bases with precision weaponry after the Pahagalam attack. In response, the government convened an all-party meeting, led by key ministers, to brief the opposition on the situation and diplomatic efforts.

Two people have been arrested after a video of a man getting violently attacked went viral, according to the police on Wednesday (May 7). A 31-year-old man and 35-year-old woman were arrested for their alleged involvement in a case of voluntarily causing grievous hurt with common intention and suspected drug consumption. In the 49-second video posted on Facebook on Tuesday, the victim can be seen handing over a plastic bag to a man in what appears to be a transaction. After a few words were exchanged, the victim then appears to return the man his banknote while tapping on his phone. However, the man receiving the handoff suddenly delivers an uppercut to the victim, sending the latter's glasses flying. The man follows this up with a flurry of blows, causing the victim to reel backwards and collapse on the ground, as punches continue to rain down upon him. As the victim tries to right himself, the attacker kicks him in the head, knocking him back against the wall. The victim's bloodied face and hands and face are shown as the video ends.

The Ministry of Defence (Mindef) has signed a contract with Thyssenkrupp Marine Systems to acquire two more Invincible-class submarines, growing its fleet to six from 2034 onwards.  The procurement of two additional submarines was previously announced by Defence Minister Dr Ng Eng Hen at the Committee of Supply 2025 debate in Parliament on March 3.  «Four submarines are not optimal for a submarine fleet,» said Dr Ng. He explained that submarines are subjected to more rigorous and frequent maintenance cycles as they operate under intense pressure. This is in turn affects operational time. «This is why most navies that operate submarines have more than four — Australia, Indonesia and Vietnam», added Dr Ng.  The Republic of Singapore Navy started building four custom-made Invincible-class submarines, in Germany, in 2017. Two of the four existing submarines, the RSS Invincible and RSS Impeccable, were commissioned in September 2024 and have begun operations in Singapore waters. 

SINGAPORE — Cardinal William Goh is one of 133 cardinals from about 70 countries — and the first Singaporean — choosing the new pope in the papal election that starts on May 7 at the Vatican. The 67-year-old head of the Catholic Church in Singapore also has a shot at becoming the next pope, like the other cardinals gathered in Rome to pick the leader for the 1.4 billion Catholics globally. Cardinals are second in rank only to the pope in the Church's hierarchy. After the pope dies, all cardinals under the age of 80, who are known as cardinal electors, come together to choose the new pope. They typically choose someone from among their ranks. Pope Francis, who died on April 21, elevated Cardinal Goh to a cardinal in 2022. Cardinal Goh is the first and only Singaporean to be appointed a cardinal so far, and he heads the 395,000-strong Catholic Church here. One of six children of a housewife and a clerk, Cardinal Goh grew up in a zinc-roofed house in Hougang and later worked as a forex dealer before he answered the call of priesthood. He was ordained as a priest in 1985 at the age of 27.
