Houthis hit Saudi Arabia's Aramco

Separately, the Saudi-led coalition struck Houthi fuel depots and energy terminals across Yemen; coalition spokesperson Turki al-Maliki said the operation was carried out carefully to avoid collateral damage to civilians. In addition, a cruise missile aimed at Riyadh province was shot down and destroyed over Al-Kharj governorate.

Rajnath Singh on joint India-ASEAN research agenda

At the ASEAN-India Defence Think Tank Forum, Union Defence Minister Rajnath Singh says, "I would like to suggest some practical outcomes from this forum. First, let us develop a joint India-ASEAN research agenda on maritime security, cyber threats, emerging technologies, disaster response, and defence industry cooperation. Second, let us encourage regular exchanges among researchers, including young scholars, through fellowships, visiting programs, and joint publications. Third, let us identify a small number of pilot projects, for example, a tabletop exercise on maritime disaster response, a joint study on counter-drone solutions, or a research project on secure maritime information sharing. Fourth, let us promote Track 1.5 and Track 2 dialogues so that researchers, practitioners, and policymakers can continue their discussions between formal meetings... India seeks an Indo-Pacific where all countries, large and small, can make their own choices, protect their interests, and pursue development in peace... Let this forum help us move from shared understanding to practical cooperation, from discussion to joint research, and from joint research to solutions to improve the security and well-being of our people..."
