Police said on the 20th (local time) a series of blasts in Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province killed at least seven people and injured others. Authorities said two vehicles were detonated by remote control: a private car carrying passengers exploded first, and a second vehicle exploded about 1 km away while the wounded were being transported to hospital. Both vehicles were destroyed. Security forces and law enforcement have arrived to collect evidence and are investigating.

Russia will impose an 8% export tax on certain diamonds from Sept. 1, local time, aimed at protecting its domestic diamond-cutting and processing industry. The tax covers uncut and partially processed diamonds weighing 0.45–10.8 carats and special-size diamonds above 10.8 carats; exports to Eurasian Economic Union members are exempt.
