New Delhi: India, along with fellow BRICS nations, has expressed deep alarm over the recent military strikes on Iran, calling them a violation of international law and the United Nations Charter. In a joint statement released by the expanded BRICS grouping, the countries urged immediate de-escalation and called for a return to diplomacy and dialogue to prevent further bloodshed in the volatile West Asia region.

New Delhi: In a major boost to its strategic deterrence and naval capabilities, India is developing the K-6 hypersonic submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM)—a next-generation superweapon that promises unmatched speed, reach, and lethality. The missile is currently under development at the DRDO’s Advanced Naval Systems Laboratory in Hyderabad and is being specifically tailored for the Indian Navy’s future S-5 class nuclear-powered submarines. As regional maritime tensions escalate, particularly in the Indian Ocean Region, India is aggressively modernising its naval fleet to counterbalance China’s growing naval presence. Alongside aircraft carriers, stealth frigates, and attack submarines, the K-6 missile is set to become…

New Delhi: Defence Minister Rajnath Singh delivered a firm message on terrorism and regional security during the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Defence Ministers’ Meeting in Qingdao, China, subtly calling out Pakistan without naming it. Speaking in the backdrop of the recent Pahalgam terror attack, Singh underscored the need for SCO members to adopt a consistent and uncompromising stance against terrorism. Addressing defence leaders from the ten full member states of the SCO, Singh said, “Peace, security, and trust deficit remain the biggest challenges in our region. Some countries use cross-border terrorism as an instrument of state policy and provide shelter…

Team Goemkarponn CURTI: A severe windstorm has damaged the roof of the Civil Supplies Department godown in Curti, exposing the facility to heavy rainfall and raising alarm over its structural safety. Strong winds reportedly ripped open portions of the roof, leading to significant water seepage inside the premises. With rainwater accumulating within the godown, officials have expressed concern about potential weakening of the building’s walls due to prolonged moisture exposure. Sources within the department confirmed that essential supplies stored in the facility are now at risk, as waterlogging threatens to spoil the stock. An assessment of the damage is currently…

New Delhi: In a powerful rebuttal at the United Nations Security Council (UNSC), India firmly rejected Pakistan’s attempts to malign its image and instead exposed Islamabad’s own record of terrorism sponsorship and human rights violations, especially against children. India’s Permanent Representative to the UN, Ambassador Parvathaneni Harish, delivered a scathing response during the UNSC’s open debate on Children and Armed Conflict (CAC). He accused Pakistan of misusing the UN platform to deflect attention from its own grave abuses, both at home and across its borders. “Pakistan is casting unwarranted aspersions over UN processes and smearing India in various discussions as…

New Delhi: In a bold diplomatic move, India refused to endorse the joint statement at the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Defence Ministers’ meet in Qingdao, China, objecting to what it called a deliberate omission of the recent terror attack in Pahalgam and the inclusion of Balochistan—an apparent attempt to malign India at Pakistan’s behest. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, representing India at the high-level summit, declined to sign the final communique after the document failed to acknowledge the Pahalgam terror strike in Jammu and Kashmir that killed 26 civilians. The document instead included references to unrest in Pakistan’s Balochistan province, implicitly…
