West Bengal is once again in the spotlight as post-poll violence grips multiple districts, leaving a trail of destruction, fear, and political confrontation. In a disturbing turn of events following the election results, at least three people have lost their lives in separate incidents reported from Kolkata, Birbhum, and North 24 Parganas. One of the most shocking developments comes from the Bhalliguri area in New Town, where BJP worker Madhu Mondal was killed during what was meant to be a victory procession. According to police sources, the situation escalated after an argument during the rally, eventually turning violent. Tensions have also escalated in Sandeshkhali, North 24 Parganas, where clashes between rival TMC factions during a late-night patrol reportedly involved gunfire and crude bombs. The confrontation left at least five security personnel injured, raising serious concerns about law and order in the region.

Tensions in West Asia are surging again as Israel issues urgent evacuation orders for 12 villages in southern Lebanon ahead of anticipated military strikes. Residents in areas including Kaouthariyet al-Saiyad and Deir ez-Zahrani have been warned to move at least 1,000 meters away from their homes as the Israeli military signals an escalation. IDF Arabic spokesperson Avichay Adraee has called for immediate civilian withdrawal, citing imminent operations targeting Hezbollah infrastructure. This comes despite an existing ceasefire framework, which now appears increasingly fragile with both sides continuing daily exchanges of fire across the border. Israeli forces have confirmed a series of precision airstrikes aimed at Hezbollah military sites, claiming that the locations were actively being used for attacks against Israeli troops. Reports suggest multiple Hezbollah operatives have been eliminated in the latest wave of strikes.

Tensions in the West Asia continue to surge as Israel intensifies its military operations targeting Hezbollah positions across southern Lebanon. According to official military statements, multiple airstrikes were carried out on strategic locations including weapons depots, infrastructure hubs, and buildings allegedly housing Hezbollah operatives. Reports suggest that around 25 key targets were struck in a coordinated aerial assault involving Israeli jets, while simultaneous interceptions of aerial threats and exchanges of rocket fire and drones were also reported. The ongoing conflict has further escalated cross-border hostilities, raising concerns over regional stability.

US President Donald Trump has temporarily halted the controversial &ldquo;Project Freedom&rdquo; naval initiative just hours after a US-led escort operation was launched in the region. The decision comes amid growing signals that Washington may pivot toward diplomatic space with Tehran instead of immediate escalation. At the same time, Iran has reportedly restricted or shut down large-scale commercial traffic passing through the Strait of Hormuz, triggering immediate disruption across global oil and cargo supply chains. The Strait, which connects the Persian Gulf to international waters, is responsible for a significant percentage of global energy transport. Before the disruption, nearly 138 vessels passed through the strait daily, according to maritime monitoring authorities. WATCH

Hezbollah has released dramatic footage showing an FPV drone targeting an Israeli soldier near the Lebanon border. The footage reportedly shows the drone slipping past border defences before tracking an IDF soldier near the Khirbet Al-Manara area along the southern Lebanese frontier. The strike comes just a day after an FPV drone attack killed Israeli soldier Alexander Glovanyov in northern Israel, intensifying concerns over Hezbollah&rsquo;s evolving drone warfare capabilities.

Donald Trump has arrived in Beijing for a crucial state visit to China, but one moment from the trip quickly dominated global headlines &mdash; Xi Jinping did not personally receive him at the airport.

Iran has executed 32-year-old Ehsaan Afrashteh after convicting him in a high-profile espionage case linked to Israel&rsquo;s intelligence agency Mossad. Iranian authorities claim Afrashteh transferred sensitive intelligence, operated under the codename &ldquo;James,&rdquo; and maintained covert contact with Israeli operatives across multiple countries. According to Iranian court documents, the alleged network involved secret meetings in Turkey and even claims of intelligence training in Nepal before his arrest. The case has now drawn major international attention after HRANA questioned the validity of Afrashteh&rsquo;s confession, raising concerns about alleged forced statements and the fairness of the trial process. Iran&rsquo;s judiciary, however, insists the evidence was sufficient and says the Supreme Court upheld the death sentence after reviewing the case in full. WATCH

Meanwhile, Lebanon reported multiple airstrikes near Tyre and Sidon, with casualties confirmed by the Lebanese Health Ministry.
