Wildlife officials describe the arrest of Yangchen Lachungpa as a major breakthrough in the battle against poaching in India.

It's rare for a woman to be arrested in connection with the illegal trade of animal body parts.

She is accused of playing a critical role in building trafficking corridors from India to Nepal, Tibet and China for tiger parts and pangolin scales.

Ms.

Young Chen is on Interpol's most wanted list.

Figures show that more than a hundred tigers were killed by poachers in the past three years in India.

The animals' body parts are in demand in China, where they have been used in traditional medicine.

Police have been looking for Ms.

Young Chen for several years after officials seized five tiger skins and seven sacks of bones in neighboring Nepal, and it was suspected that the consignment was about to be smuggled into Tibet.

DNA analysis showed one of the tiger hides belonged to an animal from a tiger reserve in central India.

She was apprehended on suspicion in 2017, but she disappeared after getting an interim bail.

The spokesman for the Taliban in Afghanistan, Zabihullah Mujahid, has posted on X.com, accusing Pakistan of launching an attack in the Spin-Boldak district.

Just across the border lies Chaman in Pakistan, and the spokesperson for the Pakistani prime minister,

He has posted on social media that as a result of unprovoked firing by Afghan troops on Chaman, there were clashes.

Predictably, both sides, as you can see, are blaming each other.

It is one of the most important commercial crossing points and a very important border point, which is used by tens of thousands every day for travel and trade.

There was a ceasefire in place, a fragile one, as you say.

The clashes in October were deadly.

Dozens left dead on either side.
