Saudi Arabia's Digital Transformation Boosts Remittances as Leaders Address Global Issues at UN General Assembly Amid Escalating Regional Tensions

Saudi Arabia's July Remittances Hit 25-Month High Amid Digital Transformation Efforts
**Saudi Arabia's July Remittances**: Remittances from Saudi Arabia hit a 25-month high in July, reaching $3.44 billion, as a result of the Kingdom's digital transformation efforts. Transfers by Saudi nationals also saw a small increase, and these digital platforms are significantly improving financial inclusion for migrant workers.

**Saudi Delegation at UN General Assembly**: Meanwhile, Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan is leading a high-profile delegation at the 79th session of the UN General Assembly. Accompanied by notable figures like Princess Reema and Minister Adel Al-Jubeir, they aim to promote international cooperation on issues such as global security and sustainable development.

**Hezbollah Rocket Attacks**: In other news, Hezbollah launched over 150 rockets into Israel from Lebanon, though fortunately, no casualties were reported. These attacks add another layer of tension in the already volatile region.

**Explosive Attacks on Hezbollah**: Adding to the chaos, explosive pagers struck Hezbollah strongholds in Lebanon, killing 37 and injuring over 3,000. The PETN-laced devices have raised suspicions of Israeli involvement, though Israel has not confirmed this.

**TTP Attacks in Pakistan**: Shifting to Pakistan, militants from the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan attacked a security post in South Waziristan, killing six security personnel and losing five of their own. In a separate incident, seven militants were killed at the Afghanistan border, escalating tensions with Islamabad accusing the Afghan Taliban of harboring TTP militants.

**Ukrainian Conflict Casualties**: Finally, the human cost of the Ukrainian conflict is staggering, with reports documenting around 70,000 Russian military deaths since the invasion. Ukrainian President Zelensky reported 31,000 Ukrainian soldiers killed, contributing to an estimated total of up to one million military casualties on both sides.
