<h1>Border state seizes military posts after attacks; export controls, travel registration, political shifts, ceasefire aid scaling</h1> One state seized multiple military posts and alleged militant shelters along a shared border after what it described as unprovoked attacks by its neighbor, which in turn reported significant military casualties and injuries; another state defended new export controls on critical mineral supplies and warned of countermeasures if the other side imposes steep tariffs; a regional bloc implemented a digital entry-registration system for travelers; a head-of-state appointed a senior aide to lead personnel appointments at the executive office; an opposition candidate won a presidential runoff in a small island nation; and humanitarian agencies prepared to scale up aid under a new ceasefire in a long-running conflict.
