Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico stunned NATO and EU allies after rejecting proposed sanctions on Russian energy, calling them “ideological” and harmful to Slovakia’s economy. At a press conference, Fico questioned why Slovakia should pay high gas prices due to the Ukraine conflict, citing a €16–20 billion contract with Gazprom lasting until 2034. He warned of potential lawsuits if the contract is broken and predicted that “we’ll all cooperate with Russia again.” His remarks underline a growing rift in Europe over energy strategy and long-term Russian ties.

Russia has confirmed the burial of Colonel Sergei Ilyin, commander of the 155th Marine Brigade, days after reports emerged of a Ukrainian HIMARS strike that allegedly killed him along with 21 others at a command post in Kursk Oblast. Independent outlet Astra cites officials in Chuvash Republic, although the cause of death remains undisclosed. The same attack reportedly killed Major General Mikhail Gudkov.
The 155th Brigade has long been accused of war crimes in Bucha and Irpin, heightening the symbolic weight of Ilyin’s death. Ukrainian officials have not officially commented. Kyiv’s broader cross-border campaign in Kursk Oblast, launched in 2024, has claimed tens of thousands of Russian casualties. Russian forces, with help from North Korea, reclaimed much of the territory earlier this year. The Kremlin remains silent on the incident, even as its high-ranking military leadership continues to be decimated by precision Ukrainian strikes.

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.

A training aircraft, reported to be a Cessna 337 Skymaster, has crashed in Tatarstan, Russia, narrowly avoiding a direct impact with a private residential house on Monday. 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. While official confirmation of the aircraft model is still pending, multiple reports point to it being a Cessna 337 Skymaster, a light twin-engine plane used for both civilian and military purposes.
The Cessna 337 is known for its distinctive push-pull engine configuration. Worryingly, this model has a documented history of accidents linked to issues such as engine failure, stalls, and fuel mismanagement. Investigators will be meticulously reviewing the aircraft's maintenance records, the pilot's actions in the moments before the incident, and the prevailing weather conditions to piece together what went wrong. Stay tuned to Oneindia News for the latest updates on this breaking story.

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?
