Soldiers and rebels clashed near Casanare, with 16 rebels reported dead and 100+ fleeing. No soldiers died. Separatist violence also surged in Kashmir, where nine died and 40 were wounded in attacks across the region, including a market bombing near Srinagar claimed by Hezb ul Mujahedeen.

Liberia peacekeeper deployment delayed until Monday
West African peacekeepers awaiting deployment to Liberia postponed as government troops withdraw from Kakata checkpoints. Col. Theophilus Tawiah cited coordination gaps with defense officials and said the mission aims to separate rebel and government forces, marking a first major foothold outside Monrovia since Aug. 4. In Afghanistan, five Taliban fugitives including a junior commander were captured in Zabul after clashes that killed dozens. Cmdr Haji Safullah Khan reported the operation near Mizan, 25 miles from Qalat, with at least 84 enemy fighters killed.
