COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — More than 200 years after being sunk by Adm. Horatio Nelson and the British fleet, a Danish warship has been discovered on the seabed of Copenhagen Harbor by marine archaeologists.

Working in thick sediment and almost zero visibility 15 meters (49 feet) beneath the waves, divers are working against the clock to unearth the 19th-century wreck of the Dannebroge before it becomes a construction site in a new housing district being built off the Danish coast.

Denmark’s Viking Ship Museum, which is leading the monthslong underwater excavations, announced its findings on Thursday, 225 years to the day since the Battle of Copenhagen in 1801.

“It’s a big part of the Danish national feeling,” said Morten Johansen, the museum’s head of maritime archaeology.

A great deal has been written about the battle “by very enthusiastic spectators, but we actually don’t know how it was to be onboard a ship being shot to pieces by English warships and some of that story we can probably learn from seeing the wreck, Johansen said.

In the Battle of Copenhagen, Nelson and the British fleet attacked and defeated Denmark’s navy as it formed a protective blockade outside the harbor.

Thousands were killed and wounded during the brutal hourslong naval clash, considered one of Nelson’s “great battles.” The intention was to force Denmark out of an alliance of Northern European powers, including Russia, Prussia and Sweden.

At the center of the fighting was the Danish flagship, the Dannebroge, commanded by Commodore Olfert Fischer.

The 48-meter (157-foot) Dannebroge was Nelson’s main target. Cannon fire tore through its upper deck before incendiary shells sparked a fire aboard.

“(It was) a nightmare to be on board one of these ships,” Johansen said. “When a cannonball hits a ship, it’s not the cannonball that does the most damage to the crew, it’s wooden splinters flying everywhere, very much like grenade debris.”

The battle also is believed to have inspired the phrase “to turn a blind eye.” After deciding to ignore a superior’s signal, Nelson, who had lost sight in his right eye, reportedly remarked: “I have only one eye, I have a right to be blind sometimes.”

Nelson eventually offered a truce and a ceasefire was later agreed with Denmark’s Crown Prince Frederik.

The stricken Dannebroge slowly drifted northward and exploded. Records say the sound created a deafening roar across Copenhagen.

Marine archaeologists have discovered two cannons, uniforms, insignia, shoes, bottles and even part of a sailor’s lower jaw, perhaps one of the 19 unaccounted-for crew members who likely lost their lives that day.

The dig site will soon be enveloped by construction work for Lynetteholm, a megaproject to build a new housing district in the middle of Copenhagen Harbor that is expected to be completed by 2070.

Marine archaeologists began surveying the area late last year, targeting a spot thought to match the flagship’s final position.

Experts say the sizes of the wooden parts found match old drawings. Dendrochronological dating, the method of using tree rings to establish the age of wood, match the year the ship was built. They also say the darkened dig site is full of cannonballs, a hazard for divers navigating waters darkened by clouds of silt stirred up from the seabed.

“Sometimes you can’t see anything, and then you really have to just feel your way, look with your fingers instead of with your eyes,” diver and maritime archaeologist Marie Jonsson said.

Chronicled in books and painted on canvases, the 1801 battle is deeply embedded in Denmark’s national story.

Archaeologists hope their discoveries may help reexamine the event that shaped the Scandinavian country and perhaps uncover personal stories of those who went into battle on that day 225 years ago.

“There are bottles, there are ceramics, and even pieces of basketry,” Jonsson said. “You get closer to the people onboard.”

April 2 (Reuters) – Pakistan is holding talks with Afghanistan to end the worst conflict between the South Asian neighbours since ‌the Taliban returned to power in 2021, Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson said on Thursday.

The talks in the northwestern Chinese city of Urumqi were being held between senior officials of the two countries, the spokesperson said.

April 2 (Reuters) – A diplomatic outcast a year ago, Pakistan has become a trusted regional partner and a mediator between the U.S. and Iran to end the war in the Middle East, a remarkable transformation for the South Asian nation driven mostly by its powerful military chief, Field Marshal Asim Munir. 

Munir has had several meetings with President Donald Trump, including an unprecedented one-on-one lunch at the White House, while the government has apprehended an Islamic State bomber accused of killing American troops and handed him over to the U.S.

In other moves to restore the Islamic nation’s credibility, its diplomats have launched a sweeping outreach programme with world leaders, while consolidating ties with principal ally China.

“Pakistan’s civil-military leadership has been on a charm offensive primarily balancing relations between the U.S. and China as it seeks to employ a diversified foreign policy,” Arsla Jawaid, global risk analyst at Control Risks, told Reuters.

“All these efforts are beginning to show some signs of success.”

Since Osama bin Laden was killed by U.S. Navy SEALs in Pakistan in 2011, ties with the U.S. and the West had plunged. The jailing of former Prime Minister Imran Khan and accusations from Washington that Pakistan was supporting the Taliban behind the scenes during the 20-year Afghan war only made things worse.

On the economic front, Pakistan was perilously close to a debt default, until a new deal with the IMF was reached after tough negotiations about 18 months ago.  

Analysts and government officials cite two turning points in Pakistan rebuilding trust with Washington.

The first breakthrough came in March last year, when Pakistan helped capture a suspect linked to the 2021 Kabul airport bombing in which 170 Afghans and 13 U.S. soldiers were killed, prompting public thanks from Trump and renewed intelligence sharing.

Maleeha Lodhi, a former Pakistan ambassador to the U.S., said the cooperation was “critical” in reversing decades of mistrust.

In May, a clash with old enemy India reinforced the shift.

Foreign office spokesperson Tahir Andrabi said the 90-hour conflict provided a massive boost to Pakistan’s diplomatic credentials because the country’s “military leadership showed tremendous restraint after successfully downing Indian fighter jets”. 

Pakistan was quick to engage the U.S. in efforts to end the conflict between the nuclear-armed neighbours, and both Munir and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif later nominated Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize.

LEVERS OF POWER

Even when democratic governments have been in power in Pakistan, the military has controlled the levers of power, making Munir’s approval essential for any government policy.

His visit to the White House, the first time a sitting U.S. president had received Pakistan’s military chief without civilian leadership present, signalled that Trump recognised Pakistan’s internal power structure.

Pakistan’s military did not respond to a request for comment on this story. Government officials have said the country’s makeover has been spurred by a strong civil-military alliance and ability to effectively juggle relationships with Gulf countries as well as the U.S. and China. 

“If there is one factor above all that has fuelled the widening of diplomatic opportunity for Pakistan, it is the trust and symbiosis between the field marshal and prime minister,” Mosharraf Zaidi, Sharif’s spokesperson, told Reuters. 

Both Zaidi and Andrabi highlighted diplomatic initiatives from their offices, and a flurry of meetings and almost daily phone calls with world leaders. 

On Sunday, Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar hosted counterparts from Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt for talks that focused on ending the war in Iran.

“Because of Mr. Dar’s frequent interactions with these foreign ministers, they can share intimate comments as well as a solemn moment,” Andrabi said.

‘FAVOURITE FIELD MARSHAL’

Ties with Washington have since deepened through frequent engagement between Pakistan’s civil and military leadership and the White House.

Munir and Sharif have held talks with the U.S. that included investment opportunities, a crypto deal with a Trump family-linked business, and Middle East security, anchoring Pakistan’s makeover with a mixture of business deals and geopolitical alliances. 

Munir, who Trump has called his “favourite field marshal”, was the only serving military chief at the World Economic Forum in Davos this year. Sources said he held further interactions with Trump there, and has spoken with Vice President JD Vance multiple times since the Iran war began.

Vance communicated with intermediaries from Pakistan about the Iran conflict as recently as Tuesday, according to a source briefed on the matter, making clear that Trump was open to a ceasefire if certain demands were met.

Sharif, meanwhile, has held repeated meetings with Trump as well as Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian. 

Pakistan signed a mutual defence deal with Saudi Arabia last year.

HEARTBURN IN INDIA

Pakistan’s ascension on the international stage is however causing heartburn in India, which has usually had the higher diplomatic profile of the two rivals. Its opposition has questioned the government’s hands-off approach in the Middle East war and analysts say Islamabad’s rise risks leaving New Delhi on the sidelines of regional diplomacy.

“I have been calling for almost three weeks now for India to take a leading stand, leveraging its good relations with both sides into a peace initiative,” said opposition lawmaker Shashi Tharoor. “Now, apparently, Pakistan, Egypt and Turkey have done it. Good luck to them…but India gets no credit while Pakistan is holding the peace talks.”

However, Pakistan’s economy remains in the doldrums and analysts say it risks being pulled into the war because of the defence pact with Saudi Arabia, which could spark protests from its own Shi’ite community, the second-largest in the world after Iran.  

Islamabad is also enmeshed in its own conflict with neighbouring Afghanistan, which surged days before the U.S. and Israel launched strikes on Tehran. 

Pakistan “has to continue to look inwards to bolster its own pillars of national power, especially its economy,” said Uzair Yunus from strategic advisory firm The Asia Group.

“It also needs to build an integrated defence industrial complex in partnership with Saudi Arabia and Turkey.”

Islamabad would need a long-term strategy to balance ties with Iran, its defence partnership with Riyadh and relations with Washington amid an unpredictable and possibly prolonged conflict, said Jawaid from Control Risks. 

“The civil-military leadership will need to be very careful of the role and extent of Pakistan’s involvement. Overplaying the mediator card could prove to be more damaging if not managed astutely.”

ROME (AP) — The Italian coast guard found 19 people dead and rescued 58 others after intercepting a dinghy filled with migrants that was in distress about 80 nautical miles from the southern Italian island of Lampedusa on Tuesday night.

The Italian coast guard operated in the Libyan search and rescue zone amid rough weather conditions, a spokesperson said on Wednesday.

“We were the only ones able to intervene, as there were no other ships or rescue teams in the area. Sea conditions were pretty extreme, with waves of more than 6-7 meters (20-23 feet),” said coast guard spokesperson Roberto D’Arrigo.

D’Arrigo said the migrants had probably departed from Libya and the victims likely died of hypothermia, but the cause of the deaths still needs to be verified.

The survivors were brought to Lampedusa after a 10-hour trip and are now in the care of local health services, the coast guard said.

The tiny island of Lampedusa is the main entry point to Europe for migrants crossing the Mediterranean Sea from North Africa, with thousands dying during the perilous journey.

Most of the deaths have been attributed to small boats setting off from the coasts of Tunisia and Libya.

The most recent deadly shipwreck off Lampedusa happened in August last year, when a boat carrying nearly 100 migrants capsized in international waters, killing at least 26 people.

BAGHDAD (AP) — American freelance journalist Shelly Kittleson often worked without formal assignments from editors and on a shoestring budget, taking shared taxis to lawless corners of Iraq where militia rule outweighs government control.

Kittleson, 49, had lived abroad for years, using Rome as her base for a time and building a respected journalism career across the Middle East. On Tuesday, she vanished after being forced into a car by two men at a busy Baghdad intersection, surveillance camera footage showed.

“She is a great reporter and always wants to go to areas where no one wants to go,” said Patrizio Nissirio, a former editor at Italian news agency ANSA, who has known Kittleson since 2011, when she worked as a translator for the agency.

“I said to her, ‘You don’t need to be in a war zone to do good journalism,’ and she told me, ‘I think my work is worth something when I am in those areas,’” Nissirio said.

Friends and fellow journalists describe Kittleson as a determined, gutsy reporter who had spent over a decade reporting from Iraq, Syria and the wider Middle East for a variety of news outlets including Al-Monitor, a regional news site.

Deeply curious and self-directed, she often embedded herself in local communities, sometimes staying with families rather than in hotels.

Her independence meant she often worked alone, traveling long distances and carrying heavy belongings with her at all times, while operating without the backing of a larger news organization that might have offered some protection.

The Wisconsin native was kind and spiritual, friends say, and had embraced Islam.

She left Wisconsin in 1995, when she was 19, and headed first to Italy, where she went to school and worked as a nanny, according to her mother, Barb Kittleson. She spent about 10 years in Italy before eventually settling in Iraq, she added.

Kittleson’s mother said she had not seen her daughter in person since 2002, but they exchanged emails a couple of times a week, including on Monday, when her daughter sent her a couple of pictures.

“She said, ‘Here’s a current picture of me,’” her mother told The Associated Press. “That’s what she does a lot of times, quickly.”

She was a vegetarian, a lifestyle her close Iraqi friends said was often difficult to accommodate in meat-heavy Middle Eastern countries, and she was frequently teased for her backbreaking bags. She distrusted leaving them behind at the modest hotel in Baghdad where she stayed.

Three Iraqi friends and acquaintances of Kittleson spoke about her on condition of anonymity, fearing reprisal from armed groups if they were publicly linked to her.

In her final conversations before the abduction, she asked colleagues and friends about transport routes between cities while continuing to seek access to do stories.

Hours before she was kidnapped, Kittleson met a friend in Baghdad’s Karrada neighborhood and said she had received a warning: U.S. officials had told her a militia group intended to target her. She did not believe the threat was credible.

Kittleson had been stopped before by security forces and militias at checkpoints, Iraqi colleagues said, and had always managed to secure her release. “They will not hurt me,” she told her friend that afternoon before she was taken.

Instead, she spoke of mounting financial strain, saying she had no assignments while in Baghdad. She had long struggled financially, living a frugal existence.

As a freelancer, she often relied on the support of Iraqi journalists.

On March 9, Kittleson was in Syria, seeking to enter Iraq at the border crossing in al-Qaim. Border police gave her a visa, but she was soon stopped by Iraqi intelligence officers, who turned her back, citing kidnapping threats, according to three different accounts from people she called that day.

Kittleson then went to Jordan and entered Iraq from there with little issue.

“She always complained of the treatment of freelance journalists, saying they are not paid enough. She was always trying to make ends meet and said she would sleep on any couch she could find, unlike the big foreign correspondents that sleep in fancy hotels,” Nissirio said.

“Her job has always been difficult, but she had a burning passion for it that I respect and appreciate.”

Kittleson published her last story with Il Foglio on Monday. The story focused on the effect of the Iran war on Iraq’s Kurdish region.

“Journalism is what she wanted to do so bad,” Kittleson’s mother said. “I wanted her to come home and not do it, but she said, ‘I’m helping people.’”

ROME, April 1 (Reuters) – Italy’s coast guard recovered the bodies of 19 migrants and rescued 58 survivors from a boat that broke down while trying to cross to Europe from Libya, rescue officials and migrant rescue charities said on Wednesday.

Some of the victims — 18 men and one woman — appear to have died of hypothermia, a spokesperson for the International Organization for Migration (IOM) and the MSF humanitarian group said.

The survivors, including five children, were taken to the island of Lampedusa. A further three people who had been aboard the boat, were missing, a rescue official said, declining to be named.

German migrant rescue group Sea-Watch said the 19 deaths were part of a recent surge in fatalities at sea, estimating that at least 104 people had died in the Mediterranean over the past three days, including 18 people who drowned when their inflatable boat sank off western Turkey earlier on Wednesday.

“The situation is terrifying: people adrift at sea for days without any help,” Sea-Watch said in a statement.

The IOM spokesperson estimated the latest tragedy near Lampedusa brought the number of known deaths in the central Mediterranean this year to 643 — one of the highest tolls since 2014.

Officials said the boat had left Abu Kammash in western Libya on March 30, meaning it was at sea for a couple of days. Among those on board were migrants from Sudan, Sierra Leone, Gambia, Nigeria, Ghana, Ethiopia and South Sudan.

Bad weather has roiled the Mediterranean this year limiting the number of departures from North Africa, and posing grave problems for those who have managed to put to sea.

Latest Italian interior ministry data says 6,117 migrants have reached the country by boat so far this year against 9,215 in the same period of 2025, and 11,416 in the first three months of 2024.

Russia’s armed forces have taken control of the entire Luhansk region of Ukraine, the Russian Defense Ministry claimed Wednesday, but a Kyiv military official denied the claim as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy prepared for talks with U.S. envoys trying to mediate an end to Moscow’s invasion.

“Units of the Group of Forces West have completed the liberation of the Luhansk People’s Republic,” the Russian Defense Ministry said in a statement.

However, the spokesperson for Ukraine’s Joint Forces grouping, Viktor Trehubov, said there were no changes to report in that region.

“Unfortunately, we only hold small patches there (in Luhansk), but those positions have been held by 3rd brigade for a long time,” Trehubov told The Associated Press by phone.

Russian claims of battlefield progress have in the past shown discrepancies. The Moscow-appointed head of Luhansk announced its full capture last June.

Ukrainian officials have in the past said that Moscow makes false claims of advances to persuade U.S. negotiators that a Russian victory in Ukraine is inevitable.

U.S.-led diplomatic efforts over the past year to stop the fighting, now in its fifth year, have so far failed to break the deadlock on key sticking points, and Washington’s attentions are currently focused on the Iran war.

Zelenskyy said he would hold a video call later Wednesday with U.S. President Donald Trump’s envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner to discuss the possibility of further trilateral negotiations.

Russia illegally annexed four eastern regions of Ukraine — Luhansk as well as Donetsk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia — in September 2022, but it never fully controlled them.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said last October that Ukrainian forces still held 0.13% of Luhansk. He has demanded that Ukrainian troops withdraw from the four eastern regions as a key condition for a peace deal. Ukraine has rejected that demand.

Zelenskyy said Wednesday that front-line combat is fierce amid a Russian spring offensive, but claimed that Ukrainian forces are holding their ground.

“The situation on the frontline is currently quite tense — the Russian army is trying to step up its assault activity,” he said on X.

It was not possible to independently verify either side’s battlefield claims.

The Institute for the Study of War said Ukrainian tactics are likely disrupting efforts to advance by Russia’s bigger army.

The Washington-based think tank also said late Tuesday that in recent months Ukrainian forces have made “their most significant gains on the battlefield” since an incursion into Russia’s Kursk region in August 2024 and a 2023 counteroffensive.

Russia’s invasion has also taken a heavy toll on Ukrainian civilians, with more than 15,000 killed in the war so far, according to the United Nations.

A Russian drone strike killed four people in Ukraine’s central Cherkasy region Wednesday, regional governor Ihor Taburets said. The attack hit an open area in Zolotonosha, some 150 kilometers (90 miles), southeast of the capital.

Russian drones also damaged sites in western Ukraine near the Polish border early Wednesday, including an industrial facility in the city of Lutsk, some 400 kilometers (250 miles) west of Kyiv.

Mayor Ihor Polishchuk said a postal sorting center and food distribution site were damaged, while falling drone debris also set fire to a residential building. Emergency services reported no casualties.

Ukraine’s air force said it downed 298 drones – mostly Iranian-designed Shahed drones and cheaper variants – in overnight attacks launched from multiple areas in western Russia and Crimea, while 20 drones hit 11 sites nationwide.

Ukraine has developed advance drone technology to counter Russian barrages and is offering to help Gulf countries block Iranian drone attacks.

Zelenskyy said Wednesday on X that Ukraine is “engaged in substantive cooperation” with Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar amid the Middle East conflict.

Officials are also in consultations with Jordan and are in contact with Bahrain, Kuwait, and Iraq, he said.

PARIS, April 1 (Reuters) – China will at one point have to engage more directly on how to restore oil traffic flows in the Strait of Hormuz because the number of vessels it has going through is probably insufficient, France’s navy chief said on Wednesday.

“We have not seen China’s navy step in to reopen the strait. On the other hand, there is direct political dialogue between Chinese and Iranian authorities to ensure that a certain number of vessels can pass. Will that be enough to restore normal traffic flows? I don’t believe so,” Admiral Nicolas Vaujour told the War & Peace security conference in Paris.

“As a result, China will probably have to engage more directly in the debate and show its impatience with the fact that the strait remains closed.”

Vaujour said France was working to bring a number of countries around the table at a political level first to determine the conditions under which the strait could be reopened in a lasting way.

Militaries would ultimately be needed to monitor that reopening and they were looking at the model of the previous EU-led Agenor mission that operated in the strait.

He said militaries were also assessing whether mines had been laid and would need to be cleared.

“This is obviously not a question for France alone. It concerns all partner countries, Gulf states, the United States and other European countries as well. But it is clearly an issue we are working on, should mining be confirmed, which, as of today, has not been established,” he said.

KYIV, April 1 (Reuters) – Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and U.S. negotiators are holding online talks on Wednesday, a source familiar with the matter said, as Kyiv tries to keep President Donald Trump’s administration focused on its fight against Russia amid the Iran war.

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte joined the talks with ​U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner – Trump’s son-in-law – and U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham, the source told Reuters.

Kyiv plans to raise the possibility of an Easter ceasefire, the Ukrainian president told reporters on Tuesday, and will ask negotiators to pass the offer on to the Russian side.

In a Telegram post, Zelenskiy said he also spoke with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Wednesday and briefed him on his ceasefire proposal.

“I informed Keir about the situation on the frontline: our positions are now much stronger,” Zelenskiy said.

Ukraine has recently stepped up strikes on Russian oil infrastructure. Roughly 40% of Russia’s oil export capacity has been halted, according to a Reuters calculation last week.

Zelenskiy has said Ukraine was ready to suspend such strikes if Russia agrees to stop attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure.

On Wednesday, the Russian foreign ministry rejected the ceasefire idea, calling it a “PR stunt”. The Kremlin reiterated that Ukraine should have withdrawn troops from the Donbas area – which Russia has failed to fully occupy during four years of war – “yesterday”.

Ukraine sees ceasing hostilities at the current lines of fighting as a compromise and rejects Russia’s demands to pull back from the land it still controls in the Donetsk region, part of Donbas.

Zelenskiy has repeatedly called for a summit with Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, saying the territorial issue could only be discussed at the leaders’ level.

Following tense exchanges in recent days between U.S. and European officials, Finnish President Alexander Stubb said on X on Wednesday that he spoke with Trump: “Constructive discussion and exchange of ideas on NATO, Ukraine and Iran”.

SEOUL, April 1 (Reuters) – South Korean President Lee Jae Myung held talks in Seoul on Wednesday with Indonesian leader Prabowo Subianto, where they agreed to expand cooperation on critical minerals, technology, and clean energy, Seoul’s presidential Blue House said.

The leaders met after an official welcome ceremony at the Blue House, followed by a summit, and oversaw the signing of multiple memoranda of understanding before a luncheon, according to the presidential schedule.

The Indonesian president is also due to attend a business forum in Seoul later on Wednesday as part of his state visit, it said.

The agreements also include support for projects in renewable energy and data centres as the two countries elevate their relationship into a strategic partnership.

No deals were announced on defence cooperation, including on the joint project between the countries to develop South Korea’s homegrown KF-21 fighter jet.

Korea Aerospace Industries last month said it was in talks with Indonesia on a potential sale of KF-21 fighter jets, but said no decisions had been made. Media reports said that Jakarta was considering purchasing an initial batch of 16 aircraft.

South Korea expects Indonesia to complete a payment related to the joint development programme by the end of this year, an official told Reuters.

The two countries were also expected to advance defence ties, as well as strengthen cooperation in new growth areas such as artificial intelligence, infrastructure, shipbuilding, nuclear power, energy conversion, and cultural industries, the Blue House said in an earlier statement.

Lee is also set to award Prabowo South Korea’s highest civilian honour, the Grand Order of Mugunghwa, during the state visit, it said.
