Trump ‘open’ for holding talks with Putin, Zelensky in Turkey, but on ONE CONDITION: What is it?

Israel Defense Forces on Saturday (May 31) confirmed to have eliminated Hamas chief Mohammed Sinwar in an airstrike earlier in the month after assassinating his elder brother Yahya Sinwar in October 24.&nbsp;The IDF has succeeded in eliminating successive heads of Hamas, inflicting a severe blow to the military command of the extremist group since assassinating Ismail Haniyeh in July 2024.&nbsp;After the extermination of the Sinwar brothers, the man now emerging as the de facto military leader of Hamas in Gaza is Izz al-Din al-Haddad, who has an extensive background in military and intelligence operations.&nbsp;Known by several aliases like “Abu Suhaib” and “the Ghost of the al-Qassam Brigades”, al-Haddad has succeeded in evading Israel’s most intensive manhunts and is now believed to hold authority over hostages, military operations, and key decisions on ceasefire negotiations.&nbsp;<h2>Who is Izz al-Din al-Haddad?</h2>&nbsp;Al-Haddad has risen in the Hamas ranks over a long time after having started as a company-level commander in the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades.He was then assigned charge of a battalion and, over time, commanded a total of six battalions and a special forces unit.After the killing of Bassem Issa in 2021, al-Haddad was appointed commander of the Gaza Brigade, one of the most critical posts within the armed wing. In June 2024, he was reportedly designated as the overall commander for northern Gaza.After the death of Yahya Sinwar, al-Haddad assumed responsibility for two major regional commands and 14 battalions and was sharing command of the Gaza Strip with Mohammed Sinwar.&nbsp;<h2>Izz al-Din al-Haddad’s role in Oct 7 attacks</h2>&nbsp;The night before the attack, al-Haddad reportedly convened a secret meeting with senior commanders where he distributed a document that outlined the mission’s core objectives: the mass abduction of Israeli soldiers to be transported into Gaza, real-time documentation of the assault and the capture of border-adjacent Israeli communities, says a Ynet News report.In an interview to Al Jazeera, Al-Haddad defended Hamas’s actions on October 7 by claiming to have discovered Israeli military plans for a major Gaza operation.&nbsp;<h2>How has al-Haddad survived Israeli attacks?</h2>&nbsp;Al-Haddad has been a target of the Israeli military for a long time, but has survived at least six assassination attempts, with attacks dating back to 2008. Israeli airstrikes targeted his residence in 2008, 2012, 2021 and 2023.Three more targeted operations have been attempted to eliminate him since the war began, but each time he managed to flee and evade death.Intelligence sources say al-Haddad is very guarded about his whereabouts and movements, frequently shifts locations and maintains tight security protocols, relying only on a select few in his inner circle.The extreme caution has helped him survive, even as Israel has placed a $750,000 bounty on information leading to his capture or death.&nbsp;His eldest son, Suhaib, and grandson were killed in an Israeli airstrike in Gaza City on January 17, 2025. In April 2025, his second son was also killed in an Israeli operation.&nbsp;Reports say that the Sinwar brothers trusted al-Haddad following their years of collaboration in intelligence operations and armed strategy. The closeness he enjoyed with the Sinwar brothers positioned him as a natural successor once the IDF started eliminating senior Hamas figures.

Known by several aliases like “Abu Suhaib” and “the Ghost of the al-Qassam Brigades”, al-Haddad has succeeded in evading Israel’s most intensive manhunts and is now believed to hold authority over hostages, military operations, and key decisions on ceasefire negotiations.

Sinwars wiped out, Izz al-Din al-Haddad now new military chief of Hamas? Who is he?

Ukraine on Sunday (Jun 1) launched ‘Operation Spider Web’, in which the security service of Kyiv (SBU) targeted five airbases thousands of miles inside the Russian territory in one of the biggest military moves undertaken by Kyiv since the three-year war began in February 2022. This came a day earlier the peace talks in Istanbul.&nbsp;Following the operation, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed that the planning of the ‘audacious’ operation was carried out from right under the Kremlin’s nose – the headquarters located right next to Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB).&nbsp;“What’s most interesting, and this can now be stated publicly, is that the “office” of our operation on Russian territory was located directly next to FSB headquarters in one of their regions,” the Ukrainian leader said in an X post.&nbsp;This raises the question: Did Zelensky outsmart Russian President Vladimir Putin in his own country by carrying out an attack from within Russian territory?&nbsp;The covert operation, which is being described as “Russia’s Pearl Harbour”, involved a deadly drone attack that destroyed over 40 Russian aircraft, including nuclear-capable bombers. Ukraine claimed the estimated cost of the enemy’s strategic aviation, which was hit today as a result of the SBU’s special operation, was $7 billion.&nbsp;Hailing the attack, the Ukrainian leader called the attack a “brilliant operation” that caused Russia to “suffer significant losses – entirely justified and deserved.”&nbsp;In another post, Zelensky described how the extensive attack was carried out with 117 drones.&nbsp;“In total, 117 drones were used in the operation with a corresponding number of drone operators involved. 34% of the strategic cruise missile carriers stationed at air bases were hit. Our people operated across several Russian regions — in three different time zones. And the people who assisted us were withdrawn from Russian territory before the operation, they are now safe,” he said.&nbsp;According to Zelensky, the preparation of this attack on Russia took over a year and a half of preparation. “The preparation took over a year and a half. Planning, organisation, every detail was perfectly executed. It can be said with confidence that this was an absolutely unique operation,” he said.&nbsp;<h2>How did Ukraine carry out Operation Spider Web?</h2>&nbsp;Ukraine’s recent attack may have revealed Russia’s weakness by striking from within the territory of Russia.&nbsp;Ukraine smuggled the drones used in Operation Spider Web, hidden in wooden mobile houses atop trucks. The drones were deployed to launch their strike after opening the roofs remotely.&nbsp;According to a CNN report, the drones targeted Russian airfields, including Belaya in Irkutsk, about 4,500 kilometres (2,800 miles) from Ukraine’s border, Dyagilevo base in western Russia’s Ryazan, about 520 kilometres (320 miles) from Ukraine, which is a training centre for Russia’s strategic bomber force.&nbsp;Ukraine also struck the Olenya base near Murmansk in the Arctic Circle, more than 2,000 kilometres (1,200 miles) from Ukraine, and the Ivanovo air base, more than 800 kilometres (500 miles) from Ukraine, which is used for military transport aircraft.&nbsp;The governor of Irkutsk, Igor Kobzev, said that the drones were launched from a truck near the Belaya base.&nbsp;<h2>‘Russia have been increasing units used per strike’</h2>&nbsp;Ukraine’s large-scale attack came after several massive strikes by Russia in Ukrainian cities. On May 25, in one of the largest airstrikes since the war began, Russia attacked Kyiv and other Ukrainian regions with drones and missiles, killing 12 people and injuring more than 60.&nbsp;“Last night, there were nearly 500 Russian drones, attack drones. Each week, they have been increasing the number of units used per strike. Now, they have also prepared Kalibr missiles launched from naval carriers. We know exactly who we are dealing with. We will defend ourselves by all means available to us – to Ukraine and the Ukrainian people,” Zelensky said of Russian strikes.&nbsp;<h2>Peace talks in Istanbul</h2>&nbsp;Zelensky has repeatedly blamed Putin for not being serious about ceasefire negotiations amid the continuous attacks. Ironically, Ukraine’s massive operation came a day before the peace talks in Istanbul, Turkey.&nbsp;During the discussion, Russian and Ukrainian negotiators agreed upon prisoner swap. The two nations agreed to exchange 6,000 bodies of soldiers killed in the war, said Kyiv negotiator following the talks. They will also exchange prisoners of war who are severely wounded and those under the age of 25.&nbsp;The Ukrainian president’s chief of staff, Andriy Yermak, said that Ukrainian delegates have given Russian negotiators a list of hundreds of Ukrainian children “illegally deported” by Russia, demanding their return.&nbsp;After undertaking the destructive operation, Ukrainian negotiators proposed an unconditional ceasefire. However, the Russian side rejected the motion and instead proposed a partial ceasefire of “two to three days”.&nbsp;Uncertainty looms on the question: Will Russia retaliate or seek a ceasefire?

French world number 361 Lois Boisson sent shockwaves through Roland Garros on Monday by knocking out third seed Jessica Pegula to become the first home quarter-finalist since 2017, with Coco Gauff and Mirra Andreeva also reaching the last eight.&nbsp;Boisson, 22, came from a set down against last year's US Open runner-up as the wildcard recipient completed an improbable 3-6, 6-4, 6-4 win to prolong her dream run on her Grand Slam debut.&nbsp;She is the first French singles quarter-finalist in Paris since Caroline Garica and Kristina Mladenovic made it to the same stage eight years ago.

Sixth seed Andreeva moved through in straight sets as she cut short an attempted fightback by Daria Kasatkina to advance 6-3, 7-5.&nbsp;"It was a hell of a match," said Andreeva. "Honestly I'm so so happy I won, I hate playing against her, we practice a lot and even practice is a torture for me."&nbsp;Andreeva is through to her second major quarter-final, having reached the last four at Roland Garros 12 months ago when she knocked out Aryna Sabalenka.&nbsp;World number two Gauff brushed Russian 20th seed Ekaterina Alexandrova aside 6-0, 7-5 to step up her pursuit of a first Roland Garros crown, and second Grand Slam title.&nbsp;"It was tough.

French Open 2025: Lois Boisson upsets Coco Gauff, Andreeva advances to quarters

French world number 361 Lois Boisson sent shockwaves through Roland Garros on Monday by knocking out third seed Jessica Pegula to become the first home quarter-finalist since 2017, with Coco Gauff and Mirra Andreeva also reaching the last eight. Boisson, 22, came from a set down against last year's US Open runner-up as the wildcard recipient completed an improbable 3-6, 6-4, 6-4 win to prolong her dream run on her Grand Slam debut.

Sinner will seek to light up the night session as the top seed clashes with Andrey Rublev, and 24-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic will renew his rivalry with Cameron Norrie. Italy's Sinner will look to continue his quest to make it three Grand Slam titles in a row when he takes on Russian 17th seed Rublev. The pair have met nine times in their career with Sinner holding the edge with six wins to three, but the former world number five emerged the victor in their only previous meeting at Roland Garros at the same stage in 2022. Djokovic, a three-time French Open winner, will have the chance to rack up 100 victories at Roland Garros when he faces Britain's Norrie. The 38-year-old Serb sits on a 99-16 win/loss record at the major where he has enjoyed the least success in terms of titles.

China has strongly rejected former US President Donald Trump’s recent claims that Beijing broke a trade deal designed to ease tensions between the two nations. In a firm response, China’s Commerce Ministry called the accusations “unjustified” and said it would take “forceful measures” to defend its interests.“The United States has unilaterally and repeatedly provoked new economic and trade frictions, exacerbating uncertainty and instability in bilateral economic and trade relations,” the ministry said in a statement shared through state media. “Instead of reflecting on its own actions, the United States has groundlessly accused China of violating the consensus, a claim that grossly distorts the facts,” it added.Also read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/-geopolitical-insult-donald-trump-was-not-informed-about-ukraine-s-operation-spider-web-against-russia-1748861373784">'Geopolitical insult': Donald Trump was 'not informed' about Ukraine's Operation Spider Web against Russia</a><h2>Trump claims he saved China from collapse</h2>Trump reignited tensions on May 30 when he took to Truth Social, accusing China of completely breaching the agreement both sides reached in Geneva earlier this year.“China has TOTALLY VIOLATED the deal,” Trump wrote.

'Grossly distorting the facts': China blasts Trump over trade deal accusations, warns of retaliation

Italy’s Mount Etna, one of the most active volcanoes in the world, erupted dramatically on Monday, sending thick plumes of ash and rock ‘several kilometres high’ in the air and streams of molten lava down its slopes.&nbsp;The sudden, high-intensity eruption triggered panic among tourists at the site, and crowds soon started rushing downhill to escape any tragedy.The owner of a tour company said that there were around 40 visitors at the site when the Sicilian volcano erupted, said a CNN report.The volcano, located on the Italian island of Sicily, is a popular tourist destination and is visited by approximately 1.5 million people every year. It is one of the world’s most active volcanoes, but no eruption of the magnitude seen on Monday had occurred since 2014, according to the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology Observatory.&nbsp;The eruption that began overnight produced explosions audible as far as 40-50 km away in the areas of Taormina and Catania, CNN reported. Videos on social media showed the sky covered in plumes of smoke and ash high into the air.&nbsp;The Italian observatory said a “partial collapse” was observed on the northern flank of the volcano’s southeast crater.&nbsp;It defined the volcanic activity as a “pyroclastic eruption, resulting in a significant increase in volcanic tremor and the formation of an eruptive column containing a lethal mixture of high-temperature gases, lava grains, volcanic ash, and rock fragments of various sizes that rapidly descends down the slopes of the volcano”.No casualties were reported in the area despite the intensity of the eruption. Officials said evacuation orders were not needed, and life continued undisturbed in the nearby towns, which are well accustomed to frequent eruptions. &nbsp;The Sicilian Civil Protection agency issued a Volcanic Observatory Notice for Aviation (VONA), which implies that all flights must avoid the area.&nbsp; Mount Etna is considered the most active volcano in Europe and the most active stratovolcano globally. A stratovolcano is a cone-shaped volcano featuring a central crater and is built up over thousands of years by successive layers of lava from repeated eruptions.&nbsp;Videos from the site soon went viral on social media showing visitors scrambling down the paths as a massive cloud of ash loomed in the sky.&nbsp;Experts described the blasts as “strombolian” in nature—short, explosive bursts that hurled ash and fragments into the air.The Volcanic Ash Advisory Centre in Toulouse, one of nine centres worldwide to monitor aviation risks, warned that the volcanic ash plume had reached an altitude of around 6,400 metres.

The Italian observatory said a “partial collapse” was observed on the northern flank of the volcano’s southeast crater. It defined the volcanic activity as a “pyroclastic eruption, resulting in a significant increase in volcanic tremor and the formation of an eruptive column containing a lethal mixture of high-temperature gases, lava grains, volcanic ash, and rock fragments of various sizes that rapidly descends down the slopes of the volcano”. No casualties were reported in the area despite the intensity of the eruption. Officials said evacuation orders were not needed, and life continued undisturbed in the nearby towns, which are well accustomed to frequent eruptions. The Sicilian Civil Protection agency issued a Volcanic Observatory Notice for Aviation (VONA), which implies that all flights must avoid the area. Mount Etna is considered the most active volcano in Europe and the most active stratovolcano globally. A stratovolcano is a cone-shaped volcano featuring a central crater and is built up over thousands of years by successive layers of lava from repeated eruptions. Videos from the site soon went viral on social media showing visitors scrambling down the paths as a massive cloud of ash loomed in the sky. Experts described the blasts as “strombolian” in nature—short, explosive bursts that hurled ash and fragments into the air. The Volcanic Ash Advisory Centre in Toulouse, one of nine centres worldwide to monitor aviation risks, warned that the volcanic ash plume had reached an altitude of around 6,400 metres.

The volcano, located on the Italian island of Sicily, is a popular tourist destination and is visited by approximately 1.5 million people every year. It is one of the world’s most active volcanoes, but no eruption of the magnitude seen on Monday had occurred since 2014.

Russia-Ukraine peace talks conclude in Istanbul: What the two nations agreed on

Iran on Monday (Jun 2) demanded that the United States give guarantees that it will lift sanctions as a condition for a nuclear deal.&nbsp;“We want to guarantee that the sanctions are effectively lifted…” Iran’s foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei told a press conference in Tehran.&nbsp;“So far, the American side has not wanted to clarify this issue,” he added.&nbsp;This comes after the White House confirmed sending a “detailed” and “acceptable” proposal to Tehran. Contrastingly, Iran said that it had received “elements” of a US proposal amid the negotiations between the two countries, which began in April.&nbsp;Washington’s proposal came after a leaked UN report claimed that Iran has stepped up its production of enriched uranium to up to 60 per cent, nearly the 90 per cent level needed for atomic weapons.&nbsp;On Sunday (Jun 1), Iran rejected the report, warning of retaliation if European powers “exploit” UN reports.&nbsp;During the recent press conference, Baqaei also condemned the UN report and threatened an Iranian response.&nbsp;He said that the report was the result of “pressure exerted by certain European countries on the agency.”&nbsp;“If they want to further exploit this political report... they will surely have to face a proportionate response from Iran,” he added.&nbsp;The United States and Western nations have accused Iran of seeking nuclear weapons. Refuting the claims, Tehran has maintained that it needs uranium for civilian power production.&nbsp;Last month, the US envoy in the nuclear talks said that US President Donald Trump’s administration would oppose any enrichment.&nbsp;“An enrichment programme can never exist in the state of Iran ever again. That’s our red line. No enrichment,” Steve Witkoff told Breitbart News.&nbsp;Meanwhile, Iran has insisted it would keep enriching uranium “with or without a deal” in its nuclear programme.&nbsp;The New York Times reported, citing officials familiar with the matter, that the US proposal calls on Iran to stop all enrichment, and instead suggests creating a regional grouping including the United States, Iran, Saudi Arabia and other Arab nations, to produce nuclear power.

'Guarantee that sanctions are lifted': Iran's one BIG condition ahead of nuclear deal with US

Former US National Security Advisor Mike Flynn has claimed that Donald Trump was not informed in advance about a recent Ukrainian drone attack that reportedly destroyed over 40 Russian aircraft.<h2>No warning before Ukraine’s major strike</h2>Flynn made the comments on Monday (June 2), stating on social media that Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky did not notify Trump before launching a high-impact strike deep inside Russian territory.“So, it appears Zelensky gave the go ahead to attack parked Russian nuclear capable bombers without informing @realDonaldTrump,” Flynn wrote on X. He went on to say that if Trump truly wasn’t told, it was more than just a missed step in communication.“This isn’t simply a breach of protocol. It’s a geopolitical insult and a warning sign.

Zelenskyy took advantage of that. For instance, they appear to have hidden the drones in containers and were driven on trucks near the airbase,” he wrote.Flynn noted the tactic as clever but also issued a caution. “Smart use of deception. However, imagine any one of our big bomber bases having the exact same thing done to them. Very costly U.S. Strategic Bombers can be taken out in the same way by anyone with access to inexpensive drones, delivery trucks, explosives, and a bit of technical knowledge (not good and new tactics will now have to be developed),” he added.‘Brash move’ may spark global consequencesFlynn went further, stressing the potential global fallout of Ukraine’s move. “People, and especially world leaders, need to realize the global implications to such an operation as Ukraine just pulled off,” he wrote.“Russia will respond. Action, reaction, counteraction. Those are the shifting tides of warfare. This wasn’t a bold action, it was brash. Ukraine’s short-term win could be the world’s long-term loss.”Since beginning his second term, President Trump has advocated for a peaceful resolution to the Ukraine-Russia conflict, which began during President Biden’s administration and has now entered its fourth year.While Trump has in the past spoken favourably of Russian President Vladimir Putin, he recently expressed concern over Putin’s actions.“I’ve always had a very good relationship with Vladimir Putin of Russia, but something has happened to him. He has gone absolutely CRAZY!” Trump posted on his Truth Social account last week.<h2>Zelensky personally oversaw the strike</h2>According to a Ukrainian security official cited by the Associated Press, the drone strike had been in planning for over a year and a half, with President Zelensky directly involved in overseeing the mission.“We are doing everything to protect our independence, our state, and our people.

In Boulder, Colorado, on Sunday (Jun 1), six people were injured as a pro-Palestinian man threw a deadly Molotov cocktail at a peaceful pro-Israel protest.The attack was described as a "targeted terror attack" by FBI director Kash Patel, who said that they were investigating the latest, allegedly antisemitic attack in the United States.Local media, citing witnesses, reported that a man threw something resembling a homemade Molotov cocktail at the group protesting for the release of Israeli hostages in Gaza.Six people, aged between 67 and 88, were injured in the senseless attack and were rushed to the hospital.What is the weapon used in the horrific attack? Here's all you need to know.<h2>What are Molotov cocktails?</h2>Molotov cocktail refers to a crude bomb that, like a grenade, has to be physically hurled at a target.It typically consists of a glass bottle filled with a flammable liquid and is fitted with a wick that is set aflame before throwing. A Molotov cocktail bomb is also known as a bottle bomb, a burn bottle, a fire bottle and a poor man's grenade.These bombs are easy to produce and are often used by revolutions and uprisings against the government in various parts of the world.<h2>Why is it called a Molotov cocktail?</h2>The name, as per Britannica, can be traced back to Vyacheslav Molotov, the Soviet Union's foreign minister during and after World War II. However, it must be noted that he was not the inventor. In 1939, Molotov authorised the illegal invasion of Finland during the early days of WW2, thus starting the Russo-Finnish War. The Soviet foreign minister was known to refer to cluster bombs being dropped on Finland as "food parcels" for the starving Finnish population. The resistance then came up with crude bombs made from bottles filled with a mixture of tar, ethanol, and gasoline, stoppered with wicks. In a bit of black humour, Finns christened them “Molotov cocktails”—drinks intended to accompany Molotov’s “food parcels”.

What are Molotov cocktails? Molotov cocktail refers to a crude bomb that, like a grenade, has to be physically hurled at a target. It typically consists of a glass bottle filled with a flammable liquid and is fitted with a wick that is set aflame before throwing. A Molotov cocktail bomb is also known as a bottle bomb, a burn bottle, a fire bottle and a poor man's grenade. These bombs are easy to produce and are often used by revolutions and uprisings against the government in various parts of the world. Why is it called a Molotov cocktail? The name, as per Britannica, can be traced back to Vyacheslav Molotov, the Soviet Union's foreign minister during and after World War II. However, it must be noted that he was not the inventor. In 1939, Molotov authorised the illegal invasion of Finland during the early days of WW2, thus starting the Russo-Finnish War. The Soviet foreign minister was known to refer to cluster bombs being dropped on Finland as "food parcels" for the starving Finnish population. The resistance then came up with crude bombs made from bottles filled with a mixture of tar, ethanol, and gasoline, stoppered with wicks. In a bit of black humour, Finns christened them “Molotov cocktails”—drinks intended to accompany Molotov’s “food parcels”.

Nationalist opposition candidate Karol Nawrocki narrowly won Poland's presidential election, results showed on Monday, delivering a major blow to the centrist government's efforts to cement Warsaw's pro-European orientation. In a victory for European conservatives inspired by US President Donald Trump, Nawrocki secured 50.89% of the vote, election commission data showed, an outcome that presages more political gridlock as he is likely to use his presidential veto to thwart Prime Minister Donald Tusk's liberal policy agenda.&nbsp;Tusk's government has been seeking to reverse judicial reforms made by the previous nationalist Law and Justice (PiS) government, but current President Andrzej Duda, a PiS ally, has blocked its efforts - a pattern Nawrocki is likely to continue.&nbsp;Nawrocki's rival, Rafal Trzaskowski, the liberal Warsaw mayor who was standing for Tusk's ruling Civic Coalition (KO), got 49.11%, the data showed. Both candidates had declared victory immediately after the publication of an exit poll late on Sunday that showed the result would be very close.&nbsp;Nawrocki, a conservative historian and amateur boxer who was backed by PiS, had presented the vote as a referendum on Tusk's 18-month-old government.&nbsp;"The referendum on the dismissal of the Tusk government has been won," PiS lawmaker Jacek Sasin wrote on X.&nbsp;Poland's blue-chip stock index shed more than 2% in early trade on Monday as investors anticipated more political paralysis. The zloty currency also fell versus the euro. Nawrocki, like his predecessor Duda, is expected to block any attempts by the Tusk government to liberalise abortion or reform the judiciary. The EU took the previous PiS government to court over its judical reforms, saying they undermined the rule of law and democratic standards. &nbsp;<h2>Eurosceptic</h2> Sunday's run-off vote in Poland came just two weeks after Romania's centrist Bucharest mayor, <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/romanians-vote-presidential-run-off-that-could-widen-eu-rifts-2025-05-17/">Nicusor Dan</a>, had dealt a blow to hard-right and nationalist forces in central Europe by winning that country's presidential contest.&nbsp;Congratulations poured in from other nationalist and eurosceptic politicians in the region.

A 22-year-old Tanzanian naval cadet is suspected to have drowned in the Kochi backwaters in southern India's Kerala on Sunday (Jun 1) evening. This incident was completely unrelated to his naval training and happened as the cadet reportedly went for a swim in the backwaters at a time when the southwest monsoon conditions were active in the region. The officer cadet, during his one-month break, was holidaying in Kochi city and was supposed to return to his home country afterwards. Naval diving teams have launched a thorough search and rescue operation.The incident took place around 5:30 pm, Sunday. It is said that the Tanzanian cadet had jumped into the backwaters, swum a few times and returned. Later, he again jumped in for a swim but went missing. The backwaters in Kochi are known for strong undercurrents.The cadet was a trainee at the Indian Naval Academy (INA) in Ezhimala, Kannur, about 300 km north of Kochi. The Indian Naval Academy, which is Asia's largest, offers ab initio training for the officer cadets of the Indian Navy and Indian Coast Guard. As part of India's military diplomacy, cadets from friendly foreign nations are also trained at the INA."An incident of accidental fall of an international trainee in the Ernakulam channel was reported at 1730hrs on 1st Jun 2025. The international trainee was undergoing training at Indian Naval Academy, Ezhimala. During the preliminary investigation, it has been ascertained that the trainee was on leave at Kochi en route to his country.

Plans are underway for Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to the Maldives next month. This will be PM Modi's first visit to the Maldives since the Muizzu government took charge in November 2023 and comes as both countries celebrate the 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties. During the visit, focus is expected to be on the inauguration of India-supported projects in the country with a focus on wider stability of the Indian Ocean region – where both countries have been working with each other under initiatives like the Colombo Security Conclave.The visit is seen against the backdrop of an upswing in ties after a period of stress in the ties in the aftermath of derogatory remarks by Maldivian ministers on the Indian prime minister. Last year, President Muizzu visited India, a visit that saw a ₹3,000 crore currency swap deal to support the Maldives' economic recovery.India has been a key economic and infrastructure partner for the Maldives. It has been supporting the mega Greater Male Connectivity Project, the biggest infrastructure project of the country that aims to connect Male to Villingili, Gulhifalhu and Thilafushi islands through a series of bridges, causeways, and roads. The project is crucial for the proposed Gulhifalhu Port and will be a major catalyst for the Maldivian economy in the future through jobs and economic activity. It is funded through a separate USD 400 million Line of Credit (LOC) and USD 100 million grant from India.The last visit of PM Modi to the Maldives was in 2019. In fact, the Maldives, along with Sri Lanka, were part of his first overseas visit after taking the oath of office for his second term that year. During that visit, he addressed a session of the newly constituted People’s Majlis, and MoUs were signed in the field of hydrography, health, and the establishment of passenger-cum-cargo service by sea. PM also announced support for the restoration of Hukuru Miskiiy (Friday Mosque) in Malé.India has been the first responder for the country, from the 2004 tsunami to the recent COVID-19 crisis. Delhi also provides the largest number of training for the Maldivian National Defence Force (MNDF), meeting around 70 per cent of their defence training requirements. All in all, the Indian government has trained over 1500 MNDF trainees over the past 10 years.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has confirmed that the covert operation being described as "Russia's Pearl Harbour," was masterminded from inside Russia's borders. The catastrophic drone attack, which obliterated over 40 Russian aircraft, including nuclear-capable bombers, was masterminded right under the Kremlin's nose.The strike, which can only be described as 'audacious', has resulted in a mammoth loss of $7 billion for Russia, suggest reports.<h2>What did Zelensky say?</h2>The president of war-torn Ukraine, on his official X account, detailed the assault, hailing it as a tremendous victory after 18 months (1.5 years) of preparation, and revealed that the headquarters for the Ukrainian assault was right next to Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB).

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">What’s most interesting, and this can now be stated publicly, is that the “office” of our operation on Russian territory was located directly next to FSB headquarters in one of their regions.&mdash; Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський (@ZelenskyyUa) <a href="https://twitter.com/ZelenskyyUa/status/1929279167826117068?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 1, 2025</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

"Today, a brilliant operation was carried out — on enemy territory, targeting only military objectives, specifically the equipment used to strike Ukraine. Russia suffered significant losses — entirely justified and deserved," he said."The preparation took over a year and a half. Planning, organisation, every detail was perfectly executed. It can be said with confidence that this was an absolutely unique operation.""What’s most interesting, and this can now be stated publicly, is that the 'office' of our operation on Russian territory was located directly next to FSB headquarters in one of their regions," revealed the Ukrainian president.Detailing the assault, Zelensky said that his nation used 114 drones to carry out the strike, which hit 34 per cent of the strategic cruise missile carriers stationed at Russian air bases.<h2>Operation Spider Web</h2>Footage circulating online shows massive explosions at Belaya airbase in Siberia, Olenya in the Arctic, Ivanovo northeast of Moscow, and Dyagilevo, south of the Russian capital, Moscow.Zelensky said that it was "genuinely satisfying" that something he authorised a year and six months ago came to "fruition" and that it has deprived Russia of "over forty units of strategic aviation"."We will continue this work," he vowed ahead of the Ukraine-Russia talks in Istanbul on Monday (Jun 2).

After being accused of firing at hungry Gazans while they were receiving aid, Israel shared a footage accusing that a Hamas gunman shot the civilians. Israel claimed that Hamas is doing "everything in its power" to stop the humanitarian aid to reach to civilians. This after Israel strongly denied the accusation of shooting at least 31 Palestinians in Rafah, southern Gaza on Sunday (June 1). The footage released by the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) showed a gunman &nbsp;firing at the crowd, while the hungry Gazans were receiving aid.&nbsp; "Drone footage shows gunmen in Gaza shooting at civilians going to collect aid. Hamas is doing everything in its power to prevent the successful distribution of food in Gaza," IDF said.&nbsp;After reports that Israel killed Gazans, the IDF took to social media platform X and wrote, “False reports have been spread In recent hours, including serious allegations against the IDF regarding fire toward Gazan residents in the area of the humanitarian aid distribution site in Gaza.
