India and Pakistan accused each other of violating a ceasefire agreement just hours after the Trump administration announced the U.S.-brokered deal. President Trump announced the ceasefire Saturday morning, following "a long night of talks" mediated by Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio. A Pakistan Foreign Ministry official said the country remains committed to the ceasefire, urging communication and restraint despite India’s violations in “some areas.”
Indian Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri said that Pakistan violated the truce after explosions were reported in an area of Kashmir controlled by India. | Tennessee Quake Rattles the South A 4.1-magnitude earthquake in Tennessee shook parts of the southern U.S. early Saturday, waking families as far as Atlanta. No injuries or major damage were immediately reported. The quake struck 30 miles south of Knoxville, along the Eastern Tennessee Seismic Zone, a 186-mile-long active seismic area in the region. U.S. Geological Service officials said it was the second-strongest quake felt in the last 25 years and among the top 10 in the region in more than a century. Earthquakes in Tennessee are not uncommon but are typically minor, with only three over magnitude 3.0 in the past year, according to the USGS. | Millions Bet On Pope Vote The recent papal conclave drew over $40 million in bets on two prediction platforms, with $30 million wagered on Polymarket and $10.6 million on Kalshi. Prediction markets function like futures markets, allowing users to trade contracts that pay out based on the outcome of future events. Polymarket is banned in the U.S. due to Commodity Futures Trading Commission regulations. Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost, now Pope Leo XIV, entered the conclave with just a 2% chance, or 50-1 odds. Cardinals Pietro Parolin and Luis Antonio Gokim Tagle were early betting favorites, with Parolin's odds peaking at 40% and Tagle's at 29%. The highest payout on the Kalshi platform was $52,641 from a $526 bet on Prevost.
