China has intensified military pressure on Taiwan, with 14 aircraft and 9 naval vessels detected near its territory. Taiwan's Ministry of National Defense reports that 9 of the aircraft crossed the median line into its air defense zone, prompting an immediate response with jets, ships, and missile systems. President Lai Ching-te warns of China’s growing military intimidation and information warfare aimed at annexation. As Taiwan activates U.S.-trained HIMARS units, tensions in the Taiwan Strait and the South China Sea continue to escalate—bringing the region closer to a flashpoint.

In a bold display of military preparedness, Taiwan has launched large-scale live-fire drills under its annual "Han Kuang" military exercise. These drills, the biggest in the island's history, include the debut of U.S.-made M1A2T Abrams tanks and a record mobilisation of reservists. President Lai Ching-te personally oversaw the training, asserting Taiwan’s readiness to defend against any Chinese aggression.
Drones, tanks, and innovative new combat tactics were put to the test over the 10-day drill. With tensions escalating in the Taiwan Strait, this unprecedented military build-up sends a sharp message to Beijing. While China continues to ramp up pressure, Taiwan's latest exercises showcase not only resolve but modernization in warfare. The Han Kuang drills aren't just defensive—they're a signal that Taiwan is preparing for the unthinkable and doing so with Western-backed firepower.

In a stunning revelation, a leaked audio clip from a private fundraiser has exposed the aggressive foreign policy approach of Donald Trump. The audio, first reported by CNN, allegedly captures Trump recounting a conversation with Vladimir Putin where he made a direct threat to bomb Moscow if Russia were to invade Ukraine. Trump claims that while Putin may not have fully believed him, the threat was credible enough ("he believed me 10%"). This gives a rare insight into the high-stakes conversations that happened behind closed doors during his presidency.
The source of this explosive leak is reportedly a new book titled “2024,” written by journalists Josh Dawsey, Tyler Pager, and Isaac Arnsdorf. The authors claim to have obtained the audio from the fundraiser, where Trump was speaking candidly to wealthy donors. This 'unleashed' side of Trump was not limited to Russia. The same leaked audio reveals Trump made a similar threat to Chinese President Xi Jinping, warning he would bomb Beijing if China launched an invasion of Taiwan. "He thought I was crazy," Trump is heard saying on the tape.
These revelations come as Trump campaigns for the 2024 presidential election. He uses these anecdotes to argue that his aggressive and unpredictable negotiating style is what successfully prevented major global conflicts, specifically citing the wars in Ukraine and Gaza, which he claims would not have happened under his watch. The audio provides a stark look at the kind of "strongman" diplomacy Trump advocates for, a strategy he believes is necessary to prevent world powers from undermining the United States.

Trump In Epstein Trouble: A major rift has appeared within the MAGA movement as supporters turn on President Donald Trump. The controversy ignited after Trump publicly defended Attorney General Pam Bondi, a move seen by many conservatives as a dismissal of concerns surrounding the recently unsealed Epstein files. This defense has triggered an unprecedented backlash from his own base.
The fallout has been swift and visual. Influential conservative figures have condemned Trump's stance, and viral videos have spread across social media showing die-hard supporters burning their MAGA hats and other merchandise in protest. This public display of disillusionment signals a deep fracture within what was once Trump's most loyal demographic. As Trump scrambles to control the narrative with a 400-word post on Truth Social urging unity, even figures like Elon Musk have taken public jabs at him over the issue.
Sensing a critical moment of weakness, the Democratic party is moving quickly to capitalize on the Republican infighting. Former President Barack Obama is set to return to the political frontline, headlining a major fundraiser in New Jersey this Friday alongside DNC Chair Ken Martin. This event, Obama's first since the 2024 election, is designed to rally the Democratic base and frame the GOP's internal conflict as a major liability ahead of the crucial 2026 midterm elections.
This report from Oneindia News breaks down the timeline of the MAGA backlash, Trump's attempts at damage control, and the strategic moves being made by Barack Obama and the Democrats. Stay tuned for the latest updates on this developing story in US politics.

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.

President Lai Ching-te marked one year in office with a powerful message: Taiwan wants peace with China—but not at the cost of realism or sovereignty. In his speech, Lai emphasized that only Taiwan’s people can determine the island’s future, calling for dialogue based on “reciprocal dignity.” China, however, rejected his offer, branding him a “Taiwan Strait crisis maker.” Amid rising tensions, Taiwan’s coastguard has reported security breaches from the mainland. Lai also noted progress in ongoing tariff talks with the U.S., signaling diplomatic engagement on multiple fronts.

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.
