Two
Chinese aircraft carriers
were spotted conducting simultaneous operations in the Pacific for the first time, Japanese Foreign Minister Takeshi Iwaya said on Tuesday.
Japan's Defence Ministry has confirmed the Liaoning and Shandong operating in separate locations in the Pacific on Saturday, both near remote southern islands belonging to Japan.
Iwaya said the ministry had communicated with Beijing through China's embassy in Japan and that it would take further "appropriate steps" as needed. He stopped short of condemning China for the operations.

ICE sparks uproar after storming child's birthday, believing it was a dangerous Tren de Aragua gang assembly
A lot of people were arrested, even kids, but none of them were gang members, and the raid ended up turning the celebration into a nightmare. For months, Trump, border czar Tom Homan, and deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller have been deporting as many individuals as they can while ICE has been subjecting innocent people to traumatising arrests. Multitudes were upset, scared, and confused during the raid, which led to a lot of criticism of ICE and the ways the Trump administration does things. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Düsseldorf: Geheime Methode gegen Arthrose im Knie Wellnee Mehr erfahren Undo Why did ICE raid the birthday party? Federal immigration officers break up a birthday party on the grounds that it was a Tren de Aragua gathering. Their claims are still unsupported by any evidence. Apparently, none of them were in a gang or had a history of crime. ALSO READ: $1,000 for every baby? Trump rallies Dell, Uber & others to offer bonus — but only if his Beautiful Bill passes Live Events The Trump administration arrested dozens of people at five in the morning during a raid in Texas in March, as per a report by New Republic. Who was actually arrested? Two months later, according to The Texas Tribune, the "Tren de Aragua gathering" they busted was actually a birthday party, and none of the individuals they detained had any criminal histories or even gang affiliations. It is unclear whether all of the 47 people who were arrested, including nine children, were present at the birthday celebration. The Texas police and ICE officers who conducted the raid on the birthday celebration even threatened the families and their kids by attacking them with flash grenades. One of the arrested men claimed that he was celebrating his son's fifth birthday and his best friend's 28th birthday at a house they rented for the weekend when "we all started shouting that there were babies—'Babies, there's babies,'" he said, as quoted in a report by New Republic.

What's the fallout from this incident? The Tribune named 35 Venezuelans who are in custody, although ICE has declined to provide their names. Some were released with ankle monitors after weeks of ICE detention. Due to missing too many days of school, one of the kids was even expelled from school. In order to prevent future incidents, Muzaffar Chishti, head of the Migration Policy Institute, stressed the significance of challenging charges against suspected gang members. He maintained that if the accused member is denied the opportunity to challenge the claims, the subsequent individual will likewise suffer the same outcome. FAQs Was anyone at the party involved in a gang? No, ICE found no gang affiliations or criminal records for any of the individuals who were arrested. Why did ICE believe it was a gang gathering? They responded to a false tip and profiled guests based on tattoos and heritage.

CM expressed his certainty that Naxalism, which claimed the officer's life, is on its last legs and will soon be eradicated. Girepunje, 42, was killed and two officers injured when an IED planted by Naxalites exploded in Konta, Sukma. The officer's family, including his wife, parents, and two minor children, were present. His 7-year-old son bowed to the mortal remains with folded hands, and a relative carried his 6-year-old daughter in his arms. After the ceremony, Girepunje's body was taken in a flower-decked mini-truck for last rites at Mahadev Ghat, with hundreds following the procession, chanting slogans in tribute to the slain officer. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo At the crematorium, his 7-year-old son lit the funeral pyre, a moment that deeply moved those present.

Their legacy will continue to inspire our mission for peace, prosperity, and progress," he said.

His family was preparing to celebrate his daughter's birthday, which falls on Wednesday, but the tragic loss has shattered those plans. The ceremony was marked by emotional scenes, as the community and officials from across the state paid their respects to a fallen hero committed to safeguarding the people of Bastar.
