Russia Accuses Quad Nations Of ‘Forcing’ India Into Military Bloc, Urges Revival Of RIC Alliance

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has accused Quad nations — the US, Japan, and Australia — of dragging India into a de facto military alliance, despite Delhi’s stated focus on economic ties. Speaking at a Eurasian security forum, Lavrov warned of coordinated naval drills aimed at militarizing Quad beyond its original scope. He also pushed to revive the dormant Russia-India-China (RIC) trilateral platform, asserting that Western powers are deliberately stoking Indo-China tensions by reframing the region as "Indo-Pacific" with anti-China goals. His remarks signal Moscow’s shifting strategic focus in Asia. #RussiaQuad #IndiaQuad #LavrovStatement #RICAlliance #IndiaChina #IndoPacific #RussiaIndiaChina #Geopolitics #QuadMilitary #MoscowDiplomacy #GlobalShifts #AsiaPacific #QuadTensions #RICRevival #LavrovWarning #GalwanClash #IndiaChinaBorder #WesternStrategies #MilitaryDrills #RussiaIndiaRelations Also Read India Rebukes Pakistan Over Indus Waters Treaty Remarks At UN Forum: 'Appalled' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/india-rebukes-pakistan-over-indus-waters-treaty-remarks-at-un-forum-appalled-4169437.html?ref=DMDesc Russia: Bridge Collapse Derails Train, At Least 7 Confirmed Dead :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/russia-bridge-collapse-derails-train-at-least-7-confirmed-dead-4169275.html?ref=DMDesc Adani Ports taps its Largest Ever Domestic bond - 5,000 crore 15-year NCD :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/apsez-secures-inr-5000-crore-via-non-convertible-debentures-012-4168661.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.102~

REVEALED! Details of Operation Sindoor | How India Jammed Pak’s China-made Air Defence Systems

The Government of India and Indian Armed Forces have officially released a detailed account of Operation Sindoor, India’s high-precision retaliatory strike on terror infrastructure inside Pakistan. The operation, executed overnight on May 6–7, targeted 9 terror camps and several military installations in under 23 minutes, with zero Indian casualties. The Indian Air Force (IAF) showcased its technological edge by successfully jamming and bypassing Chinese-made air defense systems deployed by Pakistan. The use of indigenous systems like BrahMos, Akash missiles, S-400s, and long-range drones played a crucial role in neutralizing enemy targets with pinpoint accuracy. India’s air defense systems, in stark contrast to Pakistan’s, operated at nearly 100% efficiency, intercepting hostile drones and missiles with precision. Operation Sindoor marks a defining moment in India’s counter-terror strategy and defense self-reliance. #OperationSindoor #IndianAirForce #IndiaStrikesBack #CounterTerrorism #DefenseNews #IndianArmy #BrahMos #S400 #AkashMissile #MadeInIndia #IAF #IndigenousWeapons #MilitaryOperation #IndiaDefense #JammuAndKashmir #IndiaVsTerror #NationalSecurity #PakistanTerrorCamps #IndianForces #AirStrike #ZeroCasualties #IndiaPakistanTensions #ChinaAirDefence #DefenceSuperiority #TechInWarfare #BreakingNews #Geopolitics #ModiGovt #IndianMissilePower Also Read Aamir Khan Thanks PM Modi And Armed Forces After Operation Sindoor, Calls Them National Heroes :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/aamir-khan-thanks-pm-modi-and-armed-forces-after-operation-sindoor-calls-them-national-heroes-4151963.html?ref=DMDesc Indian Armed Forces Notify Pakistan DGMO of Violations of May 10 Military Understanding :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/hotline-message-sent-to-pak-dgmo-highlighting-violation-of-may-10-understanding-011-4150783.html?ref=DMDesc BJD Organises Tiranga Yatra to Honour the Bravery of Indian Armed Forces :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/bjd-takes-out-tiranga-yatra-to-honour-indian-armed-forces-011-4149999.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.103~HT.336~GR.124~

Pak Nuclear Sites Hit? Indian Army Breaks Silence On Kirana Hills Nuke Installation Blasted by IAF

India’s Air Marshal AK Bharti breaks silence on rumors of an IAF strike on Pakistan’s Kirana Hills nuclear site. Amid rising tensions, speculation had swirled around a potential hit on Mushaf Airbase, linked to nuclear storage. DGAO Bharti infact claimed that Indian forces didn’t even know Kirana was nuclear-linked.

India-Pakistan Ceasefire: What Forced Pak to Seek Ceasefire with India? Operation Sindoor Impact

India’s powerful and precise military response under Operation Sindoor forced Pakistan to seek a ceasefire, following the brutal terror attack in Pahalgam. The Indian Army’s targeted strikes on nine terror hubs across Pakistan and PoK sent a clear message: terror will be met with force. Despite international outreach, including behind-the-scenes pressure from the U.S. reportedly linked to Pakistan’s IMF bailout, India held its ground—refusing any political dialogue or compromise. The ceasefire was brokered solely through military channels, with Pakistan’s DGMO reaching out first. Indian officials have reiterated: any future provocation will cross a red line. #IndiaPakistanCeasefire #IndiaPakistanTensions #IndiaPakistanNews #IndiaVsPakistan #IndiaPakistanConflict #IndiaPakistanWar #IndiaAttacksPakistan #PakistanVsIndia #IndiaPakistan2025 #IndiaPakistanRelations #IndiaPakistanTalks #IndiaPakistanCrisis #IndiaPakistanLive #IndiaPakistanUpdate #IndiaPakistanBorders Also Read Omar Abdullah Questions Ceasefire Amid Fresh Explosions In Srinagar: 'What On Earth Just Happened?' :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/omar-abdullah-questions-ceasefire-amid-fresh-explosions-in-srinagar-what-on-earth-just-happened-4149995.html?ref=DMDesc Pakistan Pleads for Ceasefire After India's Relentless Response to Terror :: https://www.oneindia.com/temp/pakistan-pleads-for-ceasefire-after-indias-relentless-response-to-terror-4149969.html?ref=DMDesc Ceasefire Crumbles Within Hours As Pakistan Violates Truce Along LoC :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/ceasefire-crumbles-within-hours-as-pakistan-violates-truce-along-loc-4149927.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~PR.152~ED.194~
