Two Yemeni nationals go missing in sea at Kochi's Valappu
KOCHI: Two Yemeni nationals went missing after being caught in strong currents at the Valappu beach in Vypeen on Monday. The missing have been identified as Abdul Salam, 21, and Jibral, 23, both students of Rathinam College of Arts and Science in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, Njarakkal police said. The incident occurred around 1pm when a group of nine young men — seven from Yemen and two from Sudan, all students of the Coimbatore college — were frolicking in the waves. 'The tragedy happened when the two moved farther into the sea during high tide and were swept away,' said Prejosh T P, a resident of Valappu. Subsequently, the coastal police, Njarakkal police, and the fire and rescue services personnel from the Vypeen station launched an intensive search and rescue operation. A fisheries department boat and a Navy helicopter too were actively involved in the search, but to no avail. The students, pursuing bachelor's courses in information technology and artificial intelligence, were on vacation and scheduled to return to their home countries the following day. Kochi was their final stop, the police said. Another local resident, who chose to remain anonymous, said the group arrived at the beach around 10.30am. 'Eager for a bit of adventure, some of them entered the sea and began enjoying the waves. As two of them were swept away, the other youths cried out for help. Local people rushed to the scene and initiated rescue efforts, but the situation quickly went beyond our control,' he said. A fire and rescue services officer said they received an alert from the local police station around 1pm and promptly arrived at the site.

Houthi spokesman condemns US air strike on immigrant detention centre
The Houthi spokesman has condemned the recent US attack on a detention centre holding African immigrants. Mohammed Abdul Salam criticised the US for its "brutality" on X, stating that the strike would "not cover up the military failure" the US is facing in its Yemen aggression. He further asserted that continuing the assault would yield no success. Abdul Salam also pointed to the international community's silence on the air strikes, claiming it 'encourages' Washington to persist in attacking residential areas, misrepresenting them as military targets. He added that such claims from Washington do not make them true, arguing that the US is deliberately committing crimes and terrorism. As reported earlier, at least 68 people died in the attack, and 47 others were injured.
