BREAKING: Zelensky Urges PM Modi to Meet at UNGA as Trump Threatens India Over Russian Oil

In a high-stakes diplomatic moment, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky spoke with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and proposed a meeting on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in September. The call comes as India faces escalating tariff threats from Donald Trump over its continued purchase of Russian oil — a key source of funding for Moscow’s war machine, according to Washington. Zelensky expressed gratitude for Modi’s warm words but urged stronger support from India, hinting at a potential turning point in New Delhi’s balancing act between East and West. With the Ukraine war dragging into its fourth year, global pressure is mounting.

Iron Dome Fails! Houthis ATTACK Israel, Hit 3 Key Targets | Israeli Defenses Crushed In DEADLY Raid [Video]

Iron Dome Fails! Houthis ATTACK Israel, Hit 3 Key Targets | Israeli Defenses Crushed In DEADLY Raid

Yemen’s Armed Forces have delivered a bold message to Israel and the world by penetrating Tel Aviv’s missile shield with explosive-laden drones that struck three high-value targets — including a sensitive Israeli site in Jaffa, military infrastructure in Ashkelon, and a strategic zone in the Negev Desert. Brigadier General Yahya Saree confirmed the success of the operations and warned of continued strikes until the siege and genocide in Gaza end. The strikes form part of Yemen’s relentless campaign of solidarity with Palestine, which has also involved firing advanced ballistic and hypersonic missiles. Meanwhile, Yemen has issued a clarion call to Muslims and Arabs worldwide to rise, protest, and break the Gaza blockade. The message is clear — Gaza’s resistance is not alone, and regional escalation is mounting fast. Is a broader conflict in the Middle East now inevitable? #Yemen #Israel #Gaza #DroneStrike #TelAviv #Ashkelon #Negev #MiddleEastCrisis #JaffaAttack #Palestine #GazaUnderAttack #ArabWorld #MuslimProtests #YahyaSaree #HouthiDrones #HypersonicMissiles #IsraeliBlockade #WarCrimes #OccupiedTerritories #SolidarityWithGaza

CHAOS And PANIC In Tel Aviv As Houthis Launch Third Attack On Ben Gurion Airport In Two Days [Video]

CHAOS And PANIC In Tel Aviv As Houthis Launch Third Attack On Ben Gurion Airport In Two Days

Yemen's Armed Forces have launched a devastating hypersonic missile attack on Israel’s busiest airport — Ben Gurion, near Tel Aviv — marking the third strike in just two days. The missile, dubbed “Palestine-2,” caused widespread panic as sirens wailed and incoming flights were diverted or left circling above the Mediterranean. Israeli reports confirm the airport was shut down temporarily, halting all operations. Yemen’s spokesman, Yahya Saree, confirmed the mission’s “complete success,” warning further strikes will continue as long as Gaza remains under siege. The aerial blockade imposed by Yemen since May has escalated, shifting from drone strikes to high-powered ballistic weaponry. Saree issued a chilling warning to Arab and Muslim nations — if Israel succeeds in Gaza, “your turn will come.” Yemen’s intensifying operations, rooted in solidarity with Palestine, are now disrupting Israeli airspace and testing regional security in ways unseen before. The message is clear: the war in Gaza won’t stay in Gaza. #YemenStrikes #BenGurionAirport #IsraelUnderAttack #HypersonicMissile #Palestine2 #GazaSiege #MiddleEastCrisis #YahyaSaree #TelAvivMissileStrike #YemenSolidarity #GazaGenocide #BallisticMissileAttack #ArabWorldWarning #IsraelBlockade #ZulfiqarMissile #SanaaStrike #AirportShutdown #IsraelNews #GazaWar2025 #MissileAlert ~ED.346~HT.408~GR.122~
