‘We Warned Them. We Meant It': The Day Yemen Fired A Missile At Israel – A Message To America
New Delhi: A dusty launch pad somewhere in Yemen. A missile cuts through the sky. Not just smoke behind it, there is a message. The same Yemen that once warned the United States is now targeting Israel. The Yemeni Armed Forces have confirmed a ballistic missile strike deep into the heart of Be'er Sheva, a city inside Israeli territory. The launch was no secret. Nor was it silent. Standing before cameras, Yemeni military spokesperson Brigadier General Yahya Saree spoke slowly and deliberately. His words were edged with intent. Yemen, he said, remains committed to Gaza – whatever the cost. 'Even if it means blood,' he added, staring directly into the lens. The missile, according to him, was a Zulfiqar-class. Long-range. Ballistic. Built for such a strike. The general claimed it hit its mark. Last week, Yemen had sent drones too. And more missiles. Those, he said, were also 'successful'. Behind every strike, a statement. The kind that does not come with press releases but with flames. Yemen has long framed its involvement not as politics, but as duty. Toward the people of Palestine. Toward Gaza. Saree did not speak of strategy. He spoke of belief. The latest launch came just days after U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. Strikes that drew global eyes and fresh fire. Yemen did not stay quiet. It issued a warning to Washington. To Israel. Stay away. Or we enter the war. And now it has. The tone has hardened in Iran as well. Tehran's elite military wing, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), lashed out against Donald Trump. The country's spokesperson, standing amid a sea of mourners, called the U.S. president's recent comments 'nonsense'. He pointed at the crowds thousands gathered to bury those killed in Israel's latest raids. 'There,' he said, 'is the real voice of Iran.' Flags waved. Fists clenched. A nation in mourning. A show of unity. And a clear message to the West. Trump was warned directly. 'Open your eyes. Control your tongue. Restrain your chaos,' the IRGC spokesman said. Those were not diplomatic words. They were not meant to be. Back in Yemen, the dust has not settled. Not after the missile. Not after the threat. And not after the silence from Washington. Because Yemen has fired. Gaza is still burning. Iran is still watching. And the fuse? It is still lit.

Ukrainian F-16 jet, pilot shot down as Russia launches massive aerial attack
A Ukrainian F-16 fighter pilot has died after his jet crashed while trying to stop a major Russian air attack involving hundreds of drones and missiles. The attack caused damage across the country as Russia continues intense night-time strikes. read more The photograph shows an F-16 fighter plane from Poland during an air policing mission along with a Nato allied aircraft on March 24, 2022. (Representative Image, Credit: Reuters) A Ukrainian F-16 fighter pilot was killed after his plane crashed while trying to stop a large Russian air attack, officials said on Sunday. The attack involved hundreds of drones, cruise missiles, and ballistic missiles, as Russia continues heavy night-time strikes in the fourth year of the war. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy honoured the pilot, Maksym Ustymenko, by posthumously awarding him the title of Hero of Ukraine, the country's highest honour. Zelenskyy also urged the United States and other Western allies to provide more help to strengthen Ukraine's air defences. The latest attack damaged homes and infrastructure across the country and injured at least 12 people, according to local officials. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Cities under fire In Kyiv, families took shelter in metro stations as air raid sirens sounded. Gunfire and explosions were heard in the capital and in the western city of Lviv, where such attacks are less frequent. The governor of Lviv region, which borders Poland, said critical infrastructure was targeted in the raid. Ukraine has now lost three F-16 jets since it began flying the American-made aircraft last year. The government has not disclosed the exact number of F-16s in its fleet, but these jets have become an important part of Ukraine's defence. The pilot flew the damaged jet away from a settlement but had no time to eject before it crashed, the Ukrainian Air Force said. 'The pilot used all of his onboard weapons and shot down seven air targets. While shooting down the last one, his aircraft was damaged and began to lose altitude,' the Air Force said on Telegram. F-16 limitations in drone warfare Ukrainian military expert Roman Svitan, speaking earlier this month, said the F-16 was not ideally suited to all tasks in the war, particularly repelling drones which swarm Ukrainian cities, as it is better used against higher-speed targets. Zelenskiy, speaking in his nightly video address, said Ustymenko had been flying missions since the time of a campaign that began in 2014 against Russian-financed separatists who had seized parts of eastern Ukraine. 'He mastered four types of aircraft and had important results to his name in defending Ukraine,' he said. 'It is painful to lose such people.' Scale of the Russian assault The Ukrainian military said in total Russia launched 477 drones and 60 missiles of various types against Ukraine overnight. Ukrainian forces destroyed 211 of the drones and 38 missiles, it said, while 225 more drones were either lost due to electronic warfare or were decoys that carried no explosives.

Trump calls for Gaza ceasefire deal as some Palestinians are skeptical
US President Donald Trump on Sunday urged progress in ceasefire talks in the 20-month war in Gaza between Israel and Hamas, though some weary Palestinians were skeptical about the chances. Israel issued a new mass evacuation order for parts of northern Gaza. Displaced Palestinians flee Jabalia after the Israeli army issued evacuation orders in Gaza City on June 29, 2025. (AP) Ron Dermer, a top adviser to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, was set to travel to Washington this week for talks on a ceasefire, an Israeli official said, and plans were being made for Netanyahu to travel there in the coming weeks, a sign there may be movement on a deal. Netanyahu was meeting with his security Cabinet on Sunday evening, the official said on condition of anonymity to discuss plans that hadn't been finalized. 'MAKE THE DEAL IN GAZA. GET THE HOSTAGES BACK!!!' Trump wrote on social media early Sunday. Trump raised expectations Friday by saying there could be an agreement within the next week. Some Palestinians doubtful of latest efforts An eight-week ceasefire was reached as Trump took office earlier this year, but Israel resumed the war in March after trying to get Hamas to accept new terms on next steps. 'Since the beginning of the war, they have been promising us something like this: Release the hostages and we will stop the war,' said one Palestinian, Abdel Hadi Al-Hour. 'They did not stop the war." Israeli attacks continued. An airstrike Sunday evening hit a house sheltering displaced people in the Jabaliya al-Nazla area, killing at least 15, according to Fares Awad, head of the Gaza's Health Ministry's ambulance and emergency services in the territory's north. He said women and children made up over half the dead. Israel's military did not comment on the strike, but the area fell under the latest evacuation order. During a visit to Israel's internal security service, Shin Bet, Netanyahu said that the Israel-Iran war and ceasefire have opened many opportunities: 'First of all, to rescue the hostages. Of course, we will also have to solve the Gaza issue, to defeat Hamas, but I estimate that we will achieve both tasks.' Major sticking point for any deal But talks between Israel and Hamas have repeatedly faltered over a major sticking point — whether the war should end as part of any ceasefire agreement. Hamas official Mahmoud Merdawi accused Netanyahu of stalling progress on a deal, saying on social media that the Israeli leader insists on a temporary agreement that would free just 10 of the hostages. About 50 hostages remain, with less than half believed to be alive. Netanyahu spokesperson Omer Dostri said that 'Hamas was the only obstacle to ending the war,' without addressing Merdawi's claim. Hamas says it is willing to free all the hostages in exchange for a full withdrawal of Israeli troops and an end to the war in Gaza. Israel rejects that offer, saying it will agree to end the war if Hamas surrenders, disarms and goes into exile, something that the group refuses. The war in Gaza began with the Hamas-led attack on southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, in which militants killed 1,200 people and took roughly 250 hostage. Gaza's Health Ministry said that another 88 people had been killed by Israeli fire over the past 24 hours, raising the war's toll among Palestinians to 56,500. The ministry, which operates under the Hamas government, doesn't distinguish between militants and civilians in its count, but says more than half of the dead are women and children. The war has displaced most of Gaza's population, often multiple times, obliterated much of the urban landscape and left people overwhelmingly reliant on outside aid, which Israel has limited since the end of the latest ceasefire. Fewer than half of Gaza's hospitals are even partly functional, and more than 4,000 children need medical evacuation abroad, a new U.N. humanitarian assessment says. 'We are exhausted, we are tired. We hope to God that the war will end," said one Palestinian, Mahmoud Wadi. Military moves toward center of Gaza City Israel's military ordered a mass evacuation of Palestinians in large swaths of northern Gaza, home to hundreds of thousands who had returned during the ceasefire earlier this year. The order includes multiple neighborhoods in eastern and northern Gaza City, as well as the Jabaliya refugee camp. Palestinians in Gaza City began loading children, bedding and other essentials onto donkey carts, uprooted once more. The military will expand its attacks westward to the city's center, with calls for people to move toward the Muwasi area in southern Gaza, Col. Avichay Adraee, a military spokesperson, said on social media. The offensive aims to move Palestinians to southern Gaza, so forces can more freely operate against militants. Rights groups say it would amount to forcible displacement. Trump slams Netanyahu trial Trump also doubled down on his criticism of the legal proceedings against Netanyahu, who is on trial for alleged corruption, calling it 'a POLITICAL WITCH HUNT.' In the post Saturday evening, Trump said the trial interfered with ceasefire talks, saying Netanyahu 'is right now in the process of negotiating a Deal with Hamas, which will include getting the Hostages back.' Last week, Trump called for the trial to be canceled. It was a dramatic interference in the domestic affairs of a sovereign state. It unnerved many in Israel, despite Trump's popularity there. The trial has repeatedly been postponed at Netanyahu's request, citing security and diplomatic developments. On Sunday, the court agreed to call off two more days of testimony by him scheduled this week.
