IndiaTimes Thursday, 8 May 2025 ()
Indian armed forces deployed Israeli-origin Harop drones in 'Operation Sindoor,' targeting and neutralizing Pakistan's air defense systems, including a key installation in Lahore. This action retaliates for the April 22 terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, which killed 26 civilians. Harop drones, known for their precision and radar-seeking capabilities, can independently identify and destroy high-value targets.

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~

Israeli Attack Kills 31 Near Aid Point In Gaza | Hamas SLAMS Israel Accusing IDF Of Bloodshed

An Israeli attack near a U.S.-backed aid distribution site in Gaza's Rafah killed at least 31 people, according to local health authorities. As ceasefire negotiations falter, blame is being traded between Hamas and Israel over the tragic incident. The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, which operates the site, denies any casualties. Meanwhile, Israel's military claims no knowledge of civilian injuries from its fire. The deadly strike comes amid failed truce talks, escalating violence, and accusations that aid is being weaponized. Over 54,000 Palestinians have died in Israel's ongoing Gaza offensive. #GazaCrisis #IsraelHamasWar #RafahStrike #CeasefireTalks #AidUnderAttack #MiddleEastConflict #GazaWar #IsraelAttack #Hamas #HumanitarianCrisis #USBackedAid #GHF #PalestineNews #BreakingNews #TruceFailure #GazaDeaths #RedCrescent #NasserHospital #IsraelUnderFire #WarCrimes Also Read Middle East: UN Labels Gaza 'The Hungriest Place On Earth' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/middle-east-un-labels-gaza-the-hungriest-place-on-earth-4168609.html?ref=DMDesc Shots Fired Outside CIA Headquarters Hours After Israeli Embassy Staff Killings :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/shots-fired-outside-cia-headquarters-hours-after-israeli-embassy-staff-killings-4161067.html?ref=DMDesc Hamas Releases US-Israeli Hostage Edan Alexander Ahead of Trump’s Middle East Visit :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/hamas-releases-us-israeli-hostage-edan-alexander-ahead-of-trump-s-middle-east-visit-4151571.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.102~
