500 Pak drones targeted 24 cities in J&K, Punjab, Rajasthan, Gujarat: Army sources
Islamabad escalated tension after India targeted terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir in the early hours of May 7. India emphasised that the mission- codenamed Operation Sindoor- was aimed at terrorists and avoided Pakistan military targets. Pakistan, however, retaliated on May 8 by attempting to target several locations in India, including military sites in Jammu and Pathankot.India's air defence system intercepted the aerial barrage and neutralised it, preventing damage to any vital installation or any casualties. Apart from swarm of drones, Pakistan also deployed missiles, which were promptly intercepted and blocked by India's air defence units."Eight missiles from Pakistan were directed at Satwari, Samba, R S Pura and Arnia. All were intercepted and blocked by air-defence units. Visuals over Jammu reminded exactly of a Hamas-style attack on Israel, like multiple cheap rockets," an Army official was quoted as saying by news agency PTI.Must Watch

New Delhi: Michael D. Higgins, the President of Ireland, has strongly condemned the recent attacks on the people of the Indian community. He described these attacks as disgusting and against the values of Ireland and said that this will not be accepted. What is happening with Indians in Ireland? Indian citizens have been attacked in 6 different instances in Irish cities of Dublin, Clondalkin, Ballymun and Waterford in about a month. Reportedly, the victims suffered serious injuries in these attacks. Innocent children were beaten up, and racial abuses were used. The situation has become so grave that many Indians and Asians say that they are planning to leave Ireland and settle in other European countries. Who is responsible for attacks on Indians? According to the sources, the right-wing government and the left opposition have a big hand in the attacks on Indians. They are blaming Indians for the rising inflation, unemployment and housing crisis, due to which attacks have increased. What did the Irish President say? Ireland's President Michael D. Higgins praised the contribution of the Indian community, saying that their role in medicine, nursing, culture, business and enterprise has enriched Ireland. President Higgins recalled the historical ties between India and Ireland. He said that violence weakens us. He also condemned messages inciting hatred or violence on social media and said that it is against Irish values such as hospitality, friendship and caring for others. The Indian Embassy in Dublin has advised citizens to be vigilant and has warned them to 'avoid going to deserted places' and 'take extra precautions'. What is the percentage of migrants in Ireland's population? In April 2025, the population of Ireland was 53.8 lakh. Out of this, 12.5 lakh are migrants, which is 24% of the total population. In terms of migrants, India is among the top 5 countries with 45,449 people and ranks third after Poland and Britain among non-Irish citizens.

John Abraham Urges CJI To Review SC's Order, Says They're Not Strays, They're Community Dogs
New Delhi : Actor John Abraham has written to Chief Justice of India BR Gavai, urging him to review the recent stray dog order passed by the Supreme Court. In his letter, John wrote, "I hope you will agree that these are not 'strays' but community dogs--respected and loved by many, and very much Delhiites in their own right, having lived in the region as neighbours to humans for generations." He pointed out that the Animal Birth Control (ABC) Dog Rules 2023 require the sterilisation, vaccination, and return of community dogs to their home areas--an approach endorsed by the World Health Organisation and proven effective in cities like Jaipur (70 per cent of dogs sterilised) and Lucknow (84 per cent). "With an estimated 10 lakh community dogs, Delhi's canine population are its true residents. It is neither practical nor humane to shelter or relocate them all," John added. John, who earlier this year became the first honorary director of PETA India, requested the CJI to look at the case through "compassion, science-based solutions and compliance with Indian law" to safeguard animals. "By contrast, displacement simply fails. Delhi has an estimated 10 lakh dogs. It is neither practical nor humane to shelter or relocate them all, and removal only opens the door for unfamiliar, unsterilised, and unvaccinated dogs to move in, leading to greater competition, territorial disputes, and public health risks. I respectfully request a review and modification of this judgment in favour of the lawful, humane, and effective ABC approach, which safeguards public health while honouring the constitutional values of compassion and coexistence, a stand the Supreme Court has consistently upheld since 2015," he appealed. On Monday, a bench of Justices JB Pardiwala and R Mahadevan said that all localities should be made free of stray dogs and there should not be any compromise. It also made it clear that no captured animal will be released back on the also ordered contempt proceedings against any individual or organisation that attempts to obstruct the authorities from carrying out the capture drive. "If any individual or organisation comes in the way of picking stray dogs or rounding them up, we will proceed to take action against any such resistance," said Justice Pardiwala. The apex court also directed the states and municipal authorities to create dog shelters with sufficient staff to sterilise and immunise them. "NCT Delhi, Gurgaon, Noida, Ghaziabad, MCD, and NMDC shall start picking up stray dogs from all localities, particularly from more vulnerable localities. It is for the authorities to look into, and if they have to create a force, do it at the earliest. However, this should be the first and foremost exercise to make all localities free of stray dogs. There should not be any compromise in undertaking the exercise," said the bench. It further directed that authorities in Delhi-NCR must set up a helpline so all dog bite complaints can be registered, with the offending animal picked up within four hours of a complaint. It also ordered all authorities to maintain a record of daily stray dogs captured and detained. The bench stated that CCTV monitoring will ensure compliance, and no dog should be released back into the street or public spaces.
