Pakistan’s former Prime Minister Imran Khan has been moved back to prison, after a court-ordered medical examination. He was also allowed to see his family for the first time in months. Mr Khan has been in prison since 2023 on corruption charges, which he says were politically motivated. Supporters of his Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party gathered along the route between the hospital and the prison in Islamabad.

President Donald Trump has said the US will “substantially reduce” joint military exercises with South Korea, citing his “very good relationship” with North Korea’s leader Kim Jong Un.

He also noted on Truth Social that South Korea had recently declined to join the US in the “denuclearisation” of Iran.

“These exercises are not only costly, with much of these costs paid for by the United States of America (as usual!), but send a signal that is totally inappropriate and hostile,” Trump posted.

Seoul said it was reviewing Trump’s comments, adding it hoped a favourable relationship between Washington and Pyongyang could lead to meaningful talks. Pyongyang has not yet commented.

Earlier, South Korea said the drills with the US would proceed “as scheduled”.
