Since the morning hours of Sunday, 25th May, when the Liberian-flagged cargo vessel MSC ELSA3 sank off the Kerala coast, Indian Coast Guard (ICG) assets have been combating the resultant oil spill and marine pollution. Oil spills are major maritime disasters that have the potential to cause serious damage to the economy and biodiversity of the affected region. Notably, the Kerala coast, which is at direct risk from this marine accident is rich in marine life and is a popular tourist hub.&nbsp;According to the ICG, within 2-3 hours of the cargo vessel’s sinking, their surveillance aircraft detected the presence of an oil slick at the site.Following which, ICG ship Saksham, already on standby in Pollution Response (PR) configuration, was immediately deployed to begin counter-pollution operations. In parallel, a Dornier aircraft was launched for aerial assessment and the dispersal of Oil Spill Dispersant (OSD) across a wide area.&nbsp;As of 11 am Sunday, the oil slick was observed drifting in an east-southeast direction at an estimated speed of 3.6 kmph. The prevailing active Southwest monsoon, with rough seas and strong winds, presented challenging conditions for responders.&nbsp;Despite the adverse conditions, ICG personnel continued their operations with resilience, navigating dangerous waters littered with floating containers and ensuring safe diversion of all merchant traffic away from the affected zone. By 2 pm Sunday, the spill was assessed to have spread over an area of approximately two square kilometres.&nbsp;&nbsp;Further, more than 100 containers were observed floating near the site, with some breaking apart and their contents scattered in adjacent waters. Mariners have been issued advisories to maintain a sharp lookout and exercise caution, as metallic shipping containers coming in contact with a vessel’s propeller or other systems could cause serious damage.&nbsp;ICG continues intensive surveillance and spill mitigation through air operations and deployment of Oil Spill Dispersant Chemicals using specialised equipment. Two ICG Offshore Patrol Vessels (OPVs) remain on-site for ongoing monitoring, assessment, and pollution response. In addition, the ICG has mobilised ICG Ship Samudra Prahari, a specialised Pollution Response Vessel carrying significant quantities of Oil dispersing chemicals, along with additional OPVs in Pollution Response configuration.&nbsp;On Sunday, a coordination meeting was convened by the Directorate General of Shipping, bringing together key stakeholders including ICG, vessel owners, managers, Kerala state authorities, and others to implement an integrated response strategy. Ship managing firm MSC has appointed T&amp;T Salvage for cleanup and recovery operations, including container and cargo retrieval and oil removal from the wreck.As per directives under the Merchant Shipping Act, 1958, the Mercantile Marine Department (MMD), Kochi, has issued a warning to the sunken vessel’s owners regarding pollution liability. The ICG has also advised the state administration to prepare for shoreline cleanup operations and to caution local communities against handling any debris or cargo that may wash ashore.

Here’s how Indian Coast Guard is cleaning up oil spill off Kerala

India’s external affairs minister, S. Jaishankar, has said that despite all nuclear sabre-rattling by Islamabad, there was no chance of a nuclear conflict breaking out between India and Pakistan after Operation Sindoor.&nbsp;Jaishankar said India and Pakistan were “very far away” from a nuclear conflict during their recent clashes because the Indian side only struck at terrorist targets on Pakistani soil in a measured and non-escalatory manner.In an interview with the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung newspaper during his just concluded visit to Germany, Jaishankar said terror is a “very open business” in Pakistan and narratives about clashes between the two countries leading to a nuclear problem “encourages terrible activities like terrorism”.&nbsp;&nbsp;Replying to a question about how close India and Pakistan were to a nuclear conflict, he said, “Very, very far away... We have terrorist targets. Those were very measured, carefully considered and non-escalating steps.” &nbsp;Jaishankar, who visited the Netherlands, Denmark and Germany last week, further said, “At no point was a nuclear level reached. There is a narrative as if everything that happens in our part of the world leads directly to a nuclear problem. That disturbs me a lot because it encourages terrible activities like terrorism.”&nbsp;<h2>‘Anyone who is not blind can see terrorist organisations openly operating in Pakistan’</h2>&nbsp;He said that anyone “who is not blind can see” terrorist organisations are openly operating in Pakistan’s cities and towns.&nbsp;“The UN Security Council terror list is full of Pakistani names and places, and these are the very places we have targeted... In Pakistan, terrorism is a very open business. A business that is supported, financed, organised and used by the state. And by their military.” India launched Operation Sindoor on May 7 in retaliation for the Pahalgam terror attack and targeted terrorist infrastructure at nine locations in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.&nbsp;The precision strikes rattled Pakistan which launched drones, missiles and long-range weapons, raising fears of an all-out war, till India struck the airbases deep inside Pakistan forcing it to reach an understanding on stopping the hostilities on May 10. Jaishankar further clarified that the firing stopped at Pakistan’s request and said India sent a clear signal to terrorists that “there is a price to be paid” for carrying out attacks like Pahalgam.&nbsp;India also made it clear to its international partners that “terrorists must not be allowed to get away with attacks”. When asked whether he would thank the US for the May 10 ceasefire, the EAM said, “The cessation of firing was agreed between the military commanders of both sides through direct contact...I thank the Indian military because it was the Indian military action that made Pakistan say: We are ready to stop.” Asked if China played a role in the conflict, Jaishankar said many of the weapons used by Pakistan are of Chinese origin and the two countries are very close.

The Indian Army has released a booklet for its personnel on Operation Sindoor, with new details of the action by the Army, Navy and Air Force on terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Jammu and Kashmir, followed by tackling the swarm drones and missiles launched by the enemy and hitting airbases deep inside Pakistani territory.On May 7, India avenged the dastardly Pahalgam terror attack in which Pakistan-backed terrorists killed 26 civilians in the Baisaran valley. &nbsp;India’s strikes, codenamed ‘Operation Sindoor’—an ode to the women who lost their husbands in the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack—dismantled vital logistical, operational, and training infrastructure used by the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), Hizbul Mujahideen, and other affiliated networks in Pakistan’s Bahawalpur, Muridke, Sialkot, Chakamru and Kotli, Bhimber, Gulpur and two sites in Muzaffarabad that are located in Pakistan-Occupied Jammu and Kashmir.Rattled by India’s precision strikes, Pakistan opened fire and launched artillery shelling on Poonch, Rajouri and other areas of Jammu and Kashmir, which was followed by multiple drone and missile attacks on Indian military bases and cities over the next three days.&nbsp;However, India managed to down almost all the Pakistani drones and missiles, displaying the extensive and excellent preparedness of its air defence systems. The new booklet also carries photographs of the debris of the drones that were tracked, targeted, and shot down successfully.&nbsp;<h2>India’s multi-layered air defence system foiled Pak’s attack</h2>&nbsp;India’s multi-layered air defence system is credited with safeguarding cities and military infrastructure from Pakistan’s attack.The multi-layered air defence system included Counter Unmanned Aerial Systems (C-UAS), ack-ack air defence guns like the L70, ZSU 23 Shilka, Man Portable Air Defence Systems (MANPADS) forming the inner layer of air defence for very-short range aerial targets like low-flying drones. Next followed the second layer, which included point defence systems that protect a specific area or an asset, short-range surface-to-air missiles (SAMs) like Spyder, Pechora, and OSA-AK.&nbsp;The third layer was formed by the medium-range SAMs like Akash and the Indo-Israeli MRSAM, and the outer layer for area-defence was taken care of by long-range SAMs like the S-400 and the fighter jets.&nbsp;The booklet also carries pictures showing Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi, Navy Chief Admiral DK Tripathi, Air Force chief Air Chief Marshal AP Singh and a senior Army officer in the war room, monitoring the May 7 strikes on terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Jammu and Kashmir.

Weeks after India launched Operation Sindoor, the Indian Army released a report on the operation, revealing some key details of how India attacked Pakistan's terror infrastructures, and who were behind the mission.One of the biggest revelations is that India segregated the targets before hitting the sites. Out of nine terror infrastructure sites, the Indian Army targeted seven sites, while the remaining two were hit by the Air Force.The Indian Army regions in Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir, include Sawai Nala, Syedna Bilal, Kotli Abbas, Kotli Gulpur and Bhimber. While in Pakistan, it targeted Sarjal and Mehmoona Joya.Now comes the other two sites. The Indian Air Force carried out operations in Muridke, the headquarters of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Bahawalpur, Jaish-e-Mohammed's headquarters, as these were the key terror sites.The Indian Air Force successfully hit these terror sites, destroying the terror infrastructure in Pakistan and PoK.Notably, The Resistance Front (TRF), an offshoot of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) claimed responsibility for the dastardly Pahalgam terror attack in India's Jammu and Kashmir that killed at least 26 tourists on April 22.Pakistan Defence Minister Khawaja Asif did confirm that the country had been associated with Lashkar-e-Taiba in the 'past'. He said, "Lashkar-e-Taiba doesn't exist in Pakistan anymore; it is extinct."The Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT)—two Pakistan-based terror outfits that have been behind some of the deadliest attacks on Indian soil for the past three decades.Bahawalpur was significant for India, as the targeted Subhan Allah campus functioned as the headquarters of Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM). Spread across 18 acres, the campus housed a mosque and served as the ideological and operational hub for terror recruitment, indoctrination, and fundraising.The Indian Army also shared a map in the report, showing the sites attacked by India under Operation Sindoor.It further showed images of Indian Army planning and executing Operation Sindoor, praising the armed forces.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/videos/breaking-10-of-masood-azhars-family-killed-in-operation-sindoor-sources-9045459">WATCH | Breaking | 10 of Masood Azhar's family killed in operation Sindoor: Sources</a>

A day after former RJD leader Tej Pratap Yadav disclosed his "relationship" of "12 years" with Anushka Yadav, his ex-wife Aishwarya Rai questioned him and his family. In a press conference on Monday (May 26) in Patna, Aishwarya asked the Yadav family if they were aware of the alleged affair of Tej Pratap, then why they "ruined" her life by getting him married to her."Why was my life ruined? Why was I beaten? Now they have suddenly had a social awakening," Lalu Prasad Yadav's former daughter-in-law said."Now everyone knows what has happened. If they all (the Yadav family) knew about it, then why was I married to him," she questioned.It all started when Tej Pratap Yadav posted a photo with Anushka on the social media platform Facebook claiming that he had been in a relationship with her for 12 years now. However, he took to X and said that his Facebook was "hacked". After all this drama, the RJD's chief and his father Lalu Prasad Yadav expelled Tej Pratap from the party for six years and also removed him from the family.While talking to the media, Aishwarya, who married Tej Pratap in 2018, called the expulsion a "drama"."They are not separated....even yesterday too, Rabri Devi (Mother of Tej Pratap) must have gone to him and assured him of fixing everything," Aishwarya said.She said this all drama is happening due to the election in Bihar, which is scheduled to be held later this year.When asked if she was aware of the "12 years" of relationship between Tej Pratap and Anushka, Aishwarya said she came to know about it through media only."I came to know about it through media only. I was informed about my divorce via media only," she added."I wasn't aware of it (the relationshoip), else I would have called it out earlier itself," she said.She further questioned the Yadav family and asked where was their "social justice" when Tej Pratap "beaten" her."Ask them what about me now? They are saying they expelled their son, but what about me now? Ask them this," Aishwarya said."Why was I beaten? Why multiple allegations were imposed on me?" she asked.There were also speculative claims that Lalu Yadav expelled his elder son because Aishwarya's family demanded a huge amount of money in alimony.Countering this Aishwarya said, "They blame me for everything. Everyone is aware of what is happening since seven years. Only I am responsible for everything? He said the relationship was since 12 years now. So his family was not aware? Were Lalu ji, Rabri Devi, Tejashwi not aware of it? How am I responsible for everything everytime? They are trying to blame me to hide their son's mistakes," she said.

Haryana YouTuber Jyoti Malhotra, arrested on charges of espionage for Pakistan, was seen moving around Lahore’s Anarkali Bazar with an escort of at least six armed men.&nbsp;&nbsp;The sight surprised Scottish YouTuber Callum Mill, known for his YouTube channel "Callum Abroad," who was also visiting Pakistan at the same time.&nbsp;In a video Callum shot during his visit to Lahore in March, he captured visuals from the bustling Anarkali Bazar, where several individuals carrying guns and wearing jackets emblazoned with “No Fear” accompanied a woman. The woman turned out to be Jyoti Malhotra, who was also filming at the same location.&nbsp;During their interaction, Callum introduced himself, and Jyoti asked if it was his first trip to Pakistan.&nbsp;&nbsp;“No, five times,” Callum replied. She then inquired if he had visited India, and introduced herself as being from India. When Callum asked her about Pakistan’s hospitality, Jyoti responded, “It’s great.”&nbsp;As they continued their conversation, Callum noticed the armed men around her. “She’s the one with all these guys, with all the security,” he said, capturing the scene in his video. “I don’t know why she needs all the guns. Look at the amount of security—six gunmen surrounding her.” Other individuals, possibly tourists, were also seen accompanying Jyoti.

The video has raised questions. While Callum, a foreigner, walked around Lahore alone without apparent concern for his safety, Jyoti was guarded.&nbsp;&nbsp;This video has fueled suspicions about the access and special treatment Jyoti enjoyed during her visits to Pakistan. Reports suggest she was invited to exclusive parties where she mingled with Pakistan’s security and intelligence officials. Authorities say Jyoti has admitted to maintaining contact with some of these officials even after returning to India.&nbsp;&nbsp;Her electronic devices are now being scrutinised by police to determine what information she may have shared with Pakistani handlers.&nbsp;Investigators are also probing her finances. They’ve uncovered that Jyoti lived a lifestyle far beyond her apparent means. She consistently flew first-class, stayed at luxury hotels, and dined at high-end restaurants, with trips to Pakistan that appeared to be ‘sponsored’.&nbsp;

Pakistan is intensifying efforts to modernise its nuclear arsenal, driven by its longstanding perception of India as an 'existential threat', according to a US report.&nbsp;In the wake of renewed military tensions in South Asia, the assessment was part of the US Defence Intelligence Agency’s 2025 Worldwide Threat Assessment report, released days after India’s military response to the Pahalgam terror attack.&nbsp;The report suggests that Pakistan is focusing on the &nbsp;enhancement of its nuclear capabilities, including it's development of tactical or battlefield nuclear weapons, in an effort to offset India’s conventional military advantage.&nbsp;“Pakistan regards India as an existential threat and will continue to pursue its military modernization effort, including the development of battlefield nuclear weapons,” the report said.&nbsp;The assessment also notes that Pakistan is receiving military and economic support from China to support this modernisation.&nbsp;The report added, "Foreign materials and technology supporting Pakistan’s WMD programs are very likely acquired primarily from suppliers in China, and sometimes are transshipped through Hong Kong, Singapore, Turkey, and the United Arab Emirates."&nbsp;While Islamabad still continues to rely heavily on Beijing as its main defence partner, there are growing tensions in this relationship, the reports cite a rise in militant attacks targeting Chinese nationals in Pakistan.&nbsp;The intelligence document also outlines the broader security challenges facing Pakistan. These include ongoing border conflicts, the rise in attack of organisations like Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan and the Baloch nationalist militants, as well as several counter-terrorism operations. Despite these efforts, more than 2,500 people were killed in militant violence within Pakistan in 2024.&nbsp;In contrast, the report notes that India views Islamabad only as an 'ancillary security proble' to be managed, and not as a central strategic challenge indicating a divergent threat perception between the two nuclear-armed neighbours.

Haunted by a rival? Pakistan sees India as ‘existential threat’, accelerates nuclear modernisation: Report

India is expected to continue its defence relationship with Russia through at least 2025, primarily to ensure access to spare parts for its existing inventory of tanks, aircraft, and other military platforms, according to the US Defence Intelligence Agency’s (DIA) 2025 Worldwide Threat Assessment.&nbsp;The report, presented to the US House Armed Services Committee said that India has reduced the pace of new defence procurements from Russia in recent years. However, it continues to rely heavily on Russian-origin equipment, necessitating ongoing cooperation to maintain operational readiness. India’s inventory includes Russian-made Su-30MKI fighter jets, T-90 tanks and a range of missile systems, all of which require regular servicing and spare parts.&nbsp;The assessment also points to broader geopolitical calculations behind India’s sustained engagement with Moscow. While India has deepened its defence ties with Western countries, particularly the United States and France, it retains strategic relations with Russia to offset the growing proximity between Moscow and Beijing. The report suggests that India is likely to balance its partnerships without aligning exclusively with any single power bloc.&nbsp;India’s pursuit of self-reliance in defence manufacturing, under its “Atmanirbhar Bharat” (self-reliant India) initiative, is also highlighted. The country is increasingly focusing on indigenisation of key military components, yet the transition from imports to domestic production remains gradual. As a result, legacy systems sourced from Russia will continue to require external support in the near term.&nbsp;Beyond military matters, the DIA report outlines India’s broader security priorities, including managing tensions along its border with China, responding to cross-border terrorism from Pakistan, and addressing internal security challenges. The report identifies India as a key regional power whose actions will shape the strategic landscape of the Indo-Pacific.&nbsp;India’s naval expansion and development of indigenous missile capabilities are also noted as indicators of its efforts to modernise its armed forces. However, the report underscores that dependency on external sources, particularly Russia, remains a critical vulnerability that India is yet to fully address.The assessment portrays India as navigating a complex defence environment, balancing legacy partnerships with emerging strategic goals and domestic production ambitions.

To counter terrorists hiding in the upper reaches and jungles of Jammu and Kashmir, the Special Operations Group of the Jammu and Kashmir Police is getting a specialised training in mountain warfare. The recently infiltrated Pakistani terrorists hiding in the upper reaches of the Jammu division are highly trained to carry out attacks and hide in the dense jungles and steep mountain ranges.&nbsp;The step has been initiated after the Pahalgam terror attack that took place in the Baisaran meadow on April 22. The terrorists who carried out the attack were Pakistani terrorists and trained in the jungle and high-altitude warfare. The security agencies are still carrying out a combing operation in the higher reaches of the Anantnag district and adjacent districts in South Kashmir.&nbsp;The Pahalgam attack has pushed the Jammu and Kashmir Police to carry out specialised training in high-altitude warfare. The Pakistani terrorists active in the higher reaches have been carrying out attacks on security forces and vanishing in the dense forest areas of Jammu and Kashmir, and to counter those terrorists, the Jammu and Kashmir Police is carrying out the training.&nbsp;''The New terrorists from Pakistan who have infiltrated into Jammu and Kashmir are trained in high altitude warfare and to counter it, training the Jammu and Kashmir Police's SOG wing would be beneficial in finishing the terrorists and terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir. It is a great step, '' said S P Vaid, former DG Jammu and Kashmir Police.&nbsp;According to official data, there are less than 140 active terrorists in JK, which includes both local and foreign. In the Kashmir division, there are around 65 foreigners and 13 locals. While in the Jammu division, there are around 55-57 terrorists, out of which only 3 are locals, and the rest are foreigners. And most of these foreign terrorists are highly trained in Jungle warfare.&nbsp;The training for the SOG personnel from the Jammu and Kashmir Police has already started. They are being trained across many battle schools in the union territory of Jammu and Kashmir and the country. The special training of these policemen will focus on countering and acting against those terrorists hiding in dense forest areas.

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Ram Chander Jangra has apologised after saying that the women who lost their husbands in the Pahalgam terror attack were "not heroic".After widespread backlash, including by opposition leaders over his "shameful" remarks, Jangra while issuing an apology, claimed that the statement was distorted to create a political controversy.<h2>What did Ram Chander Jangra say?</h2>Speaking at a symposium organised by the BJP party in Bhiwani, Jangra appeared to criticise the women who lost their husbands in the horrific April 22 attack in Pahalgam.The Rajya Sabha MP, during an event to mark the 300th birth anniversary of Ahilyabai Holkar, an 18th-century Maratha queen, made the insensitive remarks.In Hindi, he said, "Wahan (in J&amp;K's Pahalgam) par jo hamari veerangnay behne thee, jinki maang ka sindoor chheen liya gaya, Veerangna ka bhaav nahin tha, josh nahin tha, jazba nahin tha, dil nahin tha, isliye haath jod ke goli ka shikaar ho gaye". This translates to the women, who lost their husbands lacked the warrior spirit, enthusiasm, and zeal. Therefore, they became victims of the attack.He also said that nothing comes of begging terrorists: "Lekin haath jodne se koi chhodta nahin. Hamare aadmi vahan par haath jodkar maare gaye" (Terrorists do not spare anyone because they fold their hands. Our people died with folded hands).Slamming his remarks, the opposition had sought an apology from PM Narendra Modi."Prime Minister Narendra Modi should apologise for this shameful statement and expel MP Ram Chander Jangra from the party," said Congress senior leader Jairam Ramesh on X."This shameful statement of Rajya Sabha MP Ramchandra Jangra shows that the BJP, intoxicated with power, has become so insensitive that instead of blaming the security lapse for the sacrifice of the soldiers martyred in the Pahalgam terror attack, BJP MPs are questioning the martyrs and their wives," he added.In a video statement, Jangra claimed that his comments were made in context of the British and Mughal history taught in our history books."It was in this context that I said that the terrorists killed people identifying them with their religion, and had the tourists been Agniveer trained, they would have surrounded the terrorists. There would have been casualties, but the terrorists would also have been killed. I don't think that our sisters are weak or cowards. They are brave; we only need to ignite the spirit of Rani Lakshmi Bai and Ahilyabai Holker in them so that they can fight in a situation like Pahalgam. Still, if anyone's feelings are hurt, I don't mind apologising," he said. &nbsp;

&nbsp;India's National Disaster Response Force, a specialist force meant to tackle natural and man-made disasters, has mobilised a hazardous material (HazMat) truck and a 30-member team from Arakkonam, Tamil Nadu, to Kollam, Kerala, where suspected chemical-laden shipping containers are washing ashore. This is in the aftermath of the cargo vessel MSC ELSA3, carrying 640 containers and massive amounts of fuel, sinking off Kochi in the morning hours of Sunday (May 25). The NDRF team has been mobilised following a request from the Kerala State Disaster Management Authority.The HazMat truck is purpose-built to monitor and deal with chemical, biological, and nuclear risk situations. Such vehicles are equipped with detection and identification equipment, NBC filtration systems, and decontamination chambers. They also have communication capabilities for live audio, video, and data exchange with remote command centres. The truck is expected to reach Kollam in the late hours of Monday.Though the ship sank about 70 km off its destination port city of Kochi, the sinkage site is barely 35 km from Alappuzha (Aleppey) district in Kerala. Initial reports indicate that multiple containers are washing ashore in coastal regions south of Kochi, Kerala. It is noteworthy that rough sea conditions, gusty winds and rainfall prevail in the region, owing to the active southwest monsoon.The Liberia-flagged container vessel was sailing on a day-long voyage between two ports in Kerala-from Vizhinjam, Thiruvananthapuram, to Kochi, when it began to tilt sideways at noon on Saturday &nbsp;(May 24). All 24 crew members of the cargo ship have been rescued by the Indian Coast Guard and Indian Navy.Of the 640 containers carried by the sunken vessel, 13 contained hazardous cargo, and 12 contained calcium carbide. The ship had in its tanks 84.44 metric tonnes of diesel and 367.1 metric tonnes of furnace oil. Indian Coast Guard ship Saksham, with pollution response equipment, has been positioned at the scene.The sensitive coast of Kerala is home to both a vivid biodiversity and a major tourist hotspot. ICG has geared up pollution response preparedness and coordination with the state administration for all possible scenarios. ICG aircraft with advanced oil spill mapping technology is undertaking an assessment of the situation, ICG had said.According to the Indian Coast Guard, at around 1:25 pm Saturday, the shipping company MSC's officials intimated Indian authorities regarding the cargo vessel that was taking in water and tilted significantly. The shipping firm requested immediate assistance. In response, the Indian Coast Guard deployed two ships and its Dornier short-range maritime patrol aircraft.
