On Thursday, Sri Lanka announced its first major foreign investment since it declared bankruptcy, approving a $442 million wind power project by the Adani group.
Sri Lanka's Board of Investment said that Adani Green Energy will set up two wind farms in the island's north.
In a statement, the Board of Investment said that total investment will reach $442 million and the two plants will be supplying power to the national grid ‘by 2025’.
In a land where devotion flows not just through rituals, but through service, the Adani Group has embraced a powerful truth: Seva is not just an act — it is Saadhna.
Rooted in this philosophy, the ‘Seva Hi Saadhna Hai’ pledge is Adani’s sacred commitment to serving with humility, scale, and soul. What began as a monumental effort at the MahaKumbh — where over 4 million sanctified meals were lovingly prepared and distributed to pilgrims — continues now at one of India’s most divine festivals: the Puri Rath Yatra.
As the majestic chariots of Lord Jagannath roll through the ancient city, Adani’s unbroken chain of seva ensures that every devotee is nourished, every offering is honored, and every step of faith is met with a gesture of care. From massive community kitchens to meticulously organized Prasad Seva, Adani’s service is seamless, silent, and spiritually aligned with the heart of the Yatra.

South China Sea Breaking: In a significant escalation of defensive capabilities, Taiwan has officially formed its first combat-ready HIMARS rocket unit. This move is designed to strengthen deterrence against increasing threats and military pressure from China. Taiwan's Defense Minister, Wellington Koo, lauded the new unit as a "significant boost" to the island's defensive power, underscoring the strategic importance of this deployment. The soldiers operating these advanced systems have completed specialized training in the United States, highlighting the close military cooperation between Washington and Taipei.
The M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) is a game-changer for Taiwan's military. It can fire six 227mm rockets or a single Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) missile, the latter boasting a range of up to 300 kilometers. This impressive range means that key military and strategic targets deep within mainland China's coastal provinces are now potentially within Taiwan's strike capability. Reports suggest that Taiwan may have already acquired these long-range ATACMS missiles, a detail that is sure to alarm military planners in Beijing.
This deployment is part of a larger arms deal with the U.S., with 11 of a total 29 HIMARS systems already delivered. The move aligns with America's broader strategy to build a strong coalition in the Indo-Pacific to counter China's growing military and economic dominance. While the HIMARS system has proven its devastating effectiveness in the Ukraine conflict, analysts note that China's more advanced air defense systems could pose a greater challenge. The activation of this unit comes as Chinese military aircraft and vessels continue to cross the sensitive median line of the Taiwan Strait, prompting regular intrusion warnings from Taipei and keeping the region on high alert.

A major tragedy has struck Gujarat after the Gambhira bridge, a crucial link connecting Anand and Vadodara, collapsed on Wednesday. At least three people have lost their lives in the incident, which saw multiple vehicles, including a truck and a tanker, fall into the Mahisagar River below. The shocking collapse has brought traffic to a complete standstill, severing a vital transportation route in the state.
Gujarat Minister Rushikesh Patel officially confirmed the death toll, stating, “Three persons killed in bridge collapse in Vadodara district.” Emergency services and disaster response teams were rushed to the spot to conduct search and rescue operations. This incident raises serious questions about infrastructure safety and maintenance protocols.
The collapse has led to significant disruption for commuters and commercial transport between the key districts of Anand and Vadodara. Authorities are working to clear the debris and assess the full extent of the damage while rerouting traffic to prevent further chaos.
According to Minister Patel, the bridge was originally constructed in 1985. He added that its maintenance was carried out periodically as and when required, a statement that will likely come under intense scrutiny as investigations begin to determine the exact cause of this fatal structural failure. Oneindia News is tracking all the latest developments on this story.

This developing story has raised urgent questions as an investigation into the cause of the crash gets underway. So far, authorities have confirmed that there are no casualties reported from the incident.
According to dramatic eyewitness accounts, the plane was seen circling the area for approximately one hour before it ultimately crashed. This unusual behaviour is a key focus for investigators who are now working to determine the cause of the malfunction.

Texas Floods: Was This Disaster Avoidable? 79 Dead & Dozens Missing | Oneindia News
As rescue teams race against time in the flood-ravaged Texas Hill Country, chilling questions are emerging about whether this catastrophe could have been prevented.
A catastrophic flash flood has torn through Central Texas, leaving a trail of devastation and a rising death toll of at least 79 people, with dozens still unaccounted for. The disaster struck with shocking speed before dawn, as the Guadalupe River surged an unprecedented 26 feet in just 45 minutes. This terrifying wall of water swept away homes, vehicles, and summer camps, giving residents and campers mere minutes to react. The event has turned serene landscapes into disaster zones, prompting a massive search and rescue operation.
Kerr County has been hit the hardest, reporting 59 fatalities, a number that tragically includes 21 children who were camping near the river. Among the missing are eleven children and a counselor from Camp Mystic, a detail that has left the entire community in shock and grief. The tragedy extends to Travis, Burnet, and Kendall counties, where more casualties have been confirmed. Authorities are deploying helicopters, drones, and boats in a desperate search for survivors and victims, with over 850 people already rescued from rooftops, trees, and isolated areas.
As families and volunteers join the desperate search efforts, many are beginning to ask hard questions about the timeliness and adequacy of the flood warnings. With flood watches still in effect and more rain in the forecast, the situation remains critical. Officials have vowed to continue the search until every last missing person is found, but the scale of this natural disaster has left a permanent scar on Central Texas.

The Russia-Ukraine war has entered a brutal new phase. In July 2025, Russia unleashed its largest-ever aerial assault on Kyiv, a sign of its growing dominance on the battlefield. But how did we get here? This in-depth report from Oneindia News examines the seismic shifts that have given Vladimir Putin the upper hand after years of stalemate.
The primary catalyst was the 2024 U.S. election and the return of Donald Trump. We analyze how Trump's "America First" policy led to a complete halt in military aid to Ukraine, a stark contrast to the billions pumped in under the Joe Biden administration. From Trump's vow to end the war in "24 hours" to backchannel talks with Moscow, his actions effectively isolated Kyiv and gave Russia a green light to escalate its offensive.
Beyond the White House, Russia itself has adapted. Learning from early failures, Moscow embraced a brutal war of attrition, bolstered by massive support from allies like North Korea and Iran, and an economic lifeline from China. With 450,000 new recruits in 2024, Russia’s overwhelming manpower is crushing Ukrainian defenses. Meanwhile, Ukraine is facing a catastrophic crisis of its own. With its military stretched thin, a severe shortage of soldiers and ammunition, and war fatigue setting in, the nation's survival hangs in the balance. Despite innovative tactics like the "Operation Spider's Web" drone strikes, can President Zelenskyy's forces survive without robust Western support?
This video explains the intricate web of geopolitics, military strategy, and leadership changes that define the current state of the war. As Russia pushes forward, we ask the critical question: Is Ukraine's defeat now inevitable?
