LIVE news updates: Fire breaks out on serial set in Mumbai's Film City; no casualty reported
A fire erupted on a television serial set at Film City in Mumbai on Monday morning, according to civic officials.
So far, there have been no reports of injuries or casualties.
Officials from the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) stated that the fire started around 6:10 am in the tent area of the Annapurna set, which is located behind the Marathi Bigg Boss set at Dadasaheb Phalke Chitranagari in Goregaon (East).
Four fire engines and four jumbo water tankers were dispatched to the location. Firefighting efforts were underway, with an assistant divisional fire officer and three station officers overseeing the operation, the official added.
United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres described the recent US airstrikes on Iran's nuclear facilities as a dangerous development in the already unstable Middle East.
He made the remarks during an emergency UN Security Council session held on Sunday.
The 15-member Council convened after US President Donald Trump announced that the US had bombed three Iranian nuclear locations—Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan.
Guterres stated: "The bombing of Iranian nuclear facilities by the United States marks a perilous turn in a region that is already reeling. From the outset of the crisis, I have repeatedly condemned any military escalation in the Middle East."
He warned that the region's people cannot withstand another wave of destruction, adding: "We now risk descending into a rathole of retaliation after retaliation."
The UN chief urged the global community to take immediate and firm action to stop the violence and return to meaningful negotiations concerning Iran's nuclear programme.
He also stressed that Iran must fully comply with the Non-Proliferation Treaty, describing it as vital to maintaining global peace and security.
Vote counting began on Monday morning for the bypolls to the Visavadar and Kadi assembly constituencies in Gujarat.
The elections, conducted on 19 June, recorded a voter turnout of 57.90 per cent in Kadi (Mehsana district) and 56.89 per cent in Visavadar (Junagadh district), according to election officials.

‘I think Ukraine can win,' says Trump's nominee for top US general in Europe
US President Donald Trump's nominee to be the top American general in Europe has said he believes Ukraine can win the war against Russia. 'I think Ukraine can win,' Air Force Lieutenant General Alexus Grynkewich told a Senate confirmation hearing, according to Reuters. He added, 'I think any time your own homeland is threatened, you fight with a tenacity that's difficult for us to conceive of.' Poland's foreign minister Radosław Sikorski also said the focus should be on helping Ukraine stop Russia's attack. 'We believe that preventing Russia from winning, from doing what Vladimir Putin has just reasserted three days ago that he wants all of Ukraine this is a doable job, and this is what we should focus on,' Sikorski said, as reported by Reuters. Denmark's Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said she did not think peace would return soon. 'There are still too many people believing or dreaming that it will end, maybe with a ceasefire or peace agreement, and then we will return to the good old days with peace in Europe. And I'm sorry to say, I don't think that's the case,' she said. She added, 'The uncertainty we look at now is also the future, and because of that, rearming Europe is for me the number one priority.' Separately, Trump posted what he said was a congratulatory message from NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte. The message praised Trump's action in Iran and said, 'It was not easy but we've got them all signed onto 5 percent.'
