Seven people were charred to death in an air crash in Jharkhand, India, with the aviation watchdog launching a probe, according to an India Today X post by @IndiaToday between 2:45 AM and 3:45 AM UTC on February 24, 2026. Separately, the UN reported at least 13 civilians killed in Pakistan strikes in Afghanistan on February 23, per a Reuters X post by @ReutersAsia cited in the same window. The Jharkhand crash details emerged via @Tweets_Amit and @AnjaliPandey06 on X, as shared by India Today, prompting an immediate investigation by aviation authorities during this 59-minute reporting window. The UN casualty figures from Pakistan's strikes in Afghanistan were highlighted in Reuters reporting from February 23, resurfacing in Asia-focused X activity overnight. These developments follow prior threats from Bengali-speaking Mujahideen and Afghan Taliban figure Abdul Hamid Khorasani against the Pakistan Army, as well as Islamabad police inspections for Fajr prayer security earlier on February 24, according to previous ICT_Police and related X posts. The UN statement provides official confirmation of civilian deaths in the cross-border strikes referenced in earlier periods.
