We start the day's other headlines with the end of one of the longest running insurgencies in the Middle East.

The Kurdistan Workers Party, or PKK, says it's laying down its weapons and disbanding.

For decades, the PKK sought to create an independent state for Turkey's Kurdish minority

and also work towards Kurdish independence across the region.

More recently, it's pushed for greater rights for Kurds inside Turkey, where it's classified as a terrorist organization.

The U.S. views it as one as well.

Turkish President Richard Tayyip Erdogan welcomed today's announcement, saying it will

usher in a new era.

The terrorist organization has announced that it has decided to dissolve itself and hand over its weapons.

We see the decision as important in terms of cementing the security of our country,

the peace of our region, the everlasting brotherhood of our people.

Herr de Wan also said that a new window of opportunity has been opened to reach a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine. Turkey is set to host

talks on Thursday, though it's unclear who will be in attendance. At the White House today,

President Trump suggested he might make a detour from his Middle East trip to be there,

adding that the meeting should not be underestimated.

Ukraine's president, Vladimir Zelensky, said he would welcome Trump's participation

after offering to meet directly with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Russia has committed two direct talks, but there's been no word on whether Putin will attend.

In the meantime, Ukrainian officials say that Moscow launched more than 100 drones overnight,

killing at least one person.

The Prime Minister of India is warning Pakistan that his country will retaliate against any further attacks.

Narendra Modi was speaking for the first time since the nuclear-armed neighbors agreed to a ceasefire over the weekend.
