MILITANTS have attacked a Pakistani air force base near the northwestern city of Peshawar, the military said, adding that at least six attackers had been killed.
"AS per initial information, seven to 10 terrorists tried to break deep in the base" but troops managed to contain them, military spokesman Major General Asim Bajwa said in a tweet.
After more than 9,000 migrants massed into Croatia in just two days, the government put the army on alert Thursday and said migrants no longer are welcome to use the Balkan country as a route to western Europe.
“Don’t come here anymore. Stay in refugee centers in Serbia and Macedonia and Greece,” Croatian Interior Minister Ranko Ostojic told reporters, the Associated Press reported. “This is not the road to Europe. Buses can’t take you there. It’s a lie.”
Ostojic suggested Croatia might close its borders if faced with thousands more newcomers.
Croatian President Kolinda Grabar Kitarovic called on the army to be on alert and act if needed to protect the border from the migrants, after chaos erupted Thursday on the border with Serbia in a rush to get on the few available buses and trains, the AP said.
Croatia came into the spotlight this week in the ongoing migrant crisis after Hungary closed its border with Serbia with a razor-wire fence and sprayed tear gas to keep the migrants from crossing. Croatia became an alternate route for those fleeing such nations as Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan to make the 1,000-mile-plus trek to Germany and other European Union nations.
Police in Croatia said a total of 9,200 people have entered the country since Wednesday after Hungary blocked them. Authorities were transporting them in trains and buses but became overwhelmed by the influx.
Migrants, upon entry, were being taken to refugee centers where they are registered and can apply for asylum. Most say they don’t want to stay in Croatia but are eager to move on toward western Europe.
In chaotic scenes Thursday, hundreds of people pushed through police lines in Tovarnik, in eastern Croatia, when buses arrived to take them to refugee centers after waiting for hours in the hot sun, the AP said.
European Council President Donald Tusk announced that EU leaders will meet on Wednesday to discuss how to deal with the ongoing migrant and refugee crisis.
pple's new iPhone specs get updated for the same price
Update: Our ongoing iPhone 6S review puts Apple's new phone to the early test. Read that and about all its features below.
iPhone 6S is how Apple intends to spell success this year, even though the phone's design doesn't look all that different and it isn't really called the iPhone 7 after all.
With the new iPhone, it's what's on the inside that counts, as a teacher resembling Apple CEO Tim Cook may have once told you. The same applies to the updated nearly identical iPhone 6S Plus, too.
The most important iPhone 6S news is that you're in for a significant specs upgrade, with a faster performing phone, a novel 3D Touch screen and a much superior 12MP camera.
Is there enough here for an upgrade? Let's break down all of the details, from the iPhone 6S release date and price to the design, camera and battery life.
iPhone 6S release date
Apple's press conference at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco acted as the new iPhone launch date, but it isn't on sale just yet.
iPhone 6S arrives four days before the rumors Google Nexus phone launches
The official iPhone 6S release date is Friday, September 25 in a dozen countries, including the US, UK and Australia. You can order it before then however, starting Saturday, September 12.
iPhone 6S pre-orders begin at just after midnight in California at 12:01am PDT, and that means it'll be 3:01am EDT and 8:01am BST. Set your alarm or reminder via Siri before this weekend.
Long lines are expected in front of Apple Stores worldwide in advance of September 25, so the iPhone 6S release will be unlike the subdued Apple Watchlaunch. Pre-orders are still strongly encouraged.
iPhone 6S price
Apple answered all of the new iPhone rumors during its live event this week, including the all-important question: how much does iPhone 6S cost?
"Any iPhone you want is pretty affordable," according to Apple, which of course means it's going to be just as expensive. Apple never uses soft adjectives like "pretty" when words like "definitely" and "unquestionably" exist. It's thoroughly unapologetic about that.
The iPhone 6S price starts at $649 in the US, £539 in the UK and AU$1,079 in Australia. That's the same price as last year's iPhone 6 in the US and UK. It'll be $199 in the US on a two-year contract.
That's for the entry-level configuration, which again starts at a paltry 16GB. The iPhone 6S in a more accommodating 64GB is $749 (£619, AU$1,229) and 128GB is ($849, £699, AU$1,379). Once again, there's no 32GB iPhone when almost every Android this year began with that storage size.
There's no price change, but a revision is being made to the how US consumers go about buying the new iPhone. Instead of "starting at $199," it'll cost around $22 to $30 a month from most carriers. Apple had to pivot to also mention monthly device payment plans being offered by Verizon, AT&T, Sprint T-Mobile and others.
Apple also introduced an "iPhone Upgrade Program" of its own that starts at $32 a month, includes a new unlocked iPhone every year for $0 and throws in its AppleCare+ protection. You end up spending $384 on the phone over 12 months and trade-in the working iPhone for the next one.
