April 2026 in Asia

Since 2 March 2026, there has been an ongoing war in Lebanon between Israel and the Lebanese Shia militant group Hezbollah. It is a resumption of major fighting in the Hezbollah–Israel conflict that began in late 2023, and is part of the wider conflict in the Middle East. The war has killed more than 2,000 militants and civilians in Lebanon and displaced over 1 million, 20% of the country's population, creating a humanitarian crisis.

Early general elections were held in Nepal on 5 March 2026 to elect the 275 members of the House of Representatives as announced on 12 September 2025 by the President of Nepal, on the recommendation of the government of Nepal. The election was called after youth protests in September 2025 led to the resignation of Prime Minister K. P. Sharma Oli. The Rastriya Swatantra Party, with Balen Shah as their candidate for prime minister, won a landslide victory, gaining a majority in the House of Representatives without the need for a coalition for the first time since 1999.
