On Monday morning (Jan 15), the French island of La Reunion in the Indian Ocean declared its highest-level cyclone alert, prompting a strict lockdown for its residents.

Urging citizens to remain indoors, cut power, and avoid using tap water, authorities took extensive measures as Cyclone Belal swept through the territory.

Regrettably, reports confirm the storm's toll, resulting in the loss of one life.

On Monday, Cyclone Belal hit Reunion, one of France’s overseas territories in the Indian Ocean east of Madagascar is said to be moving in from the northwest packing "extreme winds," according to Meteo-France.

The island territory issued its highest cyclone warning for the first time since 1989.

"The eye of the storm is passing over Reunion Island, starting from the northern part" (DISPLAY ON SCREEN) said France’s weather agency, in its recent update.

Houthis Wreck Havoc In Red Sea: 3 Ships Assaulted Within Hours In Fresh Missile Blitz | Oneindia

Yemen's Houthi rebels have claimed responsibility for two attacks on ships in the Gulf of Aden and another assault in the Indian Ocean. The group's military spokesperson, Yahya Saree, announced the attacks on the MSC Diego and MSC Gina in the Gulf of Aden, along with the previously unreported attack on the MSC Vittoria in the Indian Ocean. These incidents raise concerns about the potential use of underwater drones (UUVs) by the Houthis, posing a significant threat to shipping, particularly in the Red Sea. The Centre for International Maritime Security has highlighted the secretive nature of Houthi UUV capabilities, warning of the devastating impact on targeted vessels. Amidst these developments, the Houthis have issued warnings to Israel over the conflict in the Gaza Strip, asserting that their attacks on shipping aim to pressure Israel to end the war. They have vowed to continue these assaults until Israel ceases its military actions in Gaza. #HouthiRebels #UnderseaDrones #RedSeaAttacks #IsraeliShips #GulfOfAden #YemenConflict #MaritimeSecurity #HouthiStrikes #ShippingThreat #MiddleEastTrouble ~PR.152~ED.102~HT.95~
