A global IT outage caused by a faulty CrowdStrike software update disrupted businesses worldwide on Friday. The glitch affected Microsoft Windows users, causing widespread system crashes known as the "Blue Screen of Death." Airlines, banks, and media outlets faced significant disruptions, with some airports resorting to handwritten boarding passes. CrowdStrike, a major cybersecurity provider serving many Fortune 500 companies, has deployed a fix but warns full recovery may take time. The incident has raised questions about over-reliance on single software providers and the importance of thorough quality checks before updates are released.

The Bannu military cantonment in Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, located over 330 km east of Islamabad, came under a severe attack early on Monday (July 15). The assault, reportedly led by several suicide bombers, resulted in a prolonged gunbattle with security forces. The militant group Jaish Fursan-e-Muhammad, a faction of the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) led by Hafiz Gul Bahadur, claimed responsibility for the attack. According to Pakistani state media, the incident began when the assailants attempted to breach the cantonment’s security perimeter with an explosive-laden vehicle.
