Watch: Iranian state TV airs footage of ballistic missile launch targeting Israel amid escalating conflict
By Aditya Bhagchandani Published on June 14, 2025, 00:05 IST Amid rising tensions in the Middle East, Iranian state television has released dramatic footage showing the launch of ballistic missiles aimed at Israel, marking a significant and dangerous escalation in the ongoing military conflict between the two nations. The video, aired late Friday night, shows a series of missile batteries firing into the night sky, reportedly from strategic military bases inside Iran. Loud booms, fiery trails, and chants of 'Death to Israel' accompany the broadcast, which was aired with patriotic music and live commentary from state-aligned news anchors.

Iranian officials have confirmed the attack, calling it a 'legitimate response to Zionist aggression.' Public air raid alerts have since been triggered across Israel, with the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirming that its Iron Dome and David's Sling air defense systems are currently intercepting incoming threats. No confirmed casualties or impact assessments have been shared yet. The broadcast, intended as both a show of strength and a warning, underscores the dangerous trajectory of this conflict. Global observers are watching closely as the situation continues to unfold in real time.

Air India plane with 242 on board crashes at Ahmedabad airport
An Air India airliner bound for London with 242 people on board crashed minutes after taking off from India's western city of Ahmedabad on Thursday, the airline and police said, without specifying whether there were any fatalities. The plane was headed to Gatwick airport in the UK, Air India said, while police officers said it crashed in a civilian area near the airport. Aviation tracking site Flightradar24 said the aircraft was a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, one of the most modern passenger aircraft in service. 'We are ascertaining the details and will share further updates,' Air India said on X. Plane crash site in Ahemdabad, Gujarat. Emergency Rescue work continues. #India — Aditya Raj Kaul (@AdityaRajKaul) June 12, 2025 This is how the Air India Aircraft in Ahemdabad, Gujarat crashed earlier this afternoon. Crash caught on camera. #India — Aditya Raj Kaul (@AdityaRajKaul) June 12, 2025 There were 169 Indians on board, 53 British nationals, seven Portuguese and one Canadian, a source said. The crash occurred just after the aircraft took off, TV channels reported. One channel showed the aircraft taking off over a residential area and then disappearing from the screen before flames rose into the sky from beyond the houses. Visuals also showed debris on fire, with thick black smoke rising into the sky near the airport. They also showed visuals of people being moved in stretchers and being taken away in ambulances. According to air traffic control at Ahmedabad airport, the aircraft departed at 1.39pm (8.09am GMT) from runway 23. It gave a 'Mayday' call, signalling an emergency, but thereafter there was no response from the aircraft. Flightradar24 also said it received the last signal from the aircraft seconds after it took off. 'The aircraft involved is a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner with registration VT-ANB,' it said. Boeing did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The last fatal plane crash in India involved Air India Express, the airline's low-cost arm. The airline's Boeing-737 overshot a 'table top' runway at Kozhikode International Airport in southern India in 2020. The plane skidded off the runway, plunging into a valley and crashing nose first into the ground. Twenty-one people were killed in that crash.

First Balochistan, Now Sindh Rises To Challenge Pakistan: Sharif Govt's Crumbling Grip Exposed As Calls For Freedom Grow Louder
New Delhi: Little did the Pakistani security forces know that their authoritarian control over Sindh would face a rebellious confrontation on May 20 when one of their convoys of armored vehicles was stopped by a fearless group of civilians belonging to the Sindh province. Shouting 'Kal bana tha Bangladesh, aaj banega Sindhudesh (Yesterday Bangladesh was born, today Sindhudesh will rise)', they stood united and confronted head-on the military's 'illegal occupation' of their province. Caught on camera, unarmed ordinary citizens – who include workers, students and farmers – blocked the Pakistan Army's convoy powered by their courage and an resolve to get freedom. Shared widely on X, men and women can be seen in the viral video confronting armed soldiers – accusing them of 'stifling their voices', 'erasing their culture' and 'plundering' their land through decades of alleged systemic oppression. 'Kal Bana Tha Bangladesh, Aaj Banega Sindhudesh' Civilians in Sindh stop Pakistan Army convoy to confront them on camera to seek freedom from Pakistani Military's illegal occupation. Watch the video! — Aditya Raj Kaul (@AdityaRajKaul) May 20, 2025 Sindh is a province, which has allegedly been long exploited for its resources and silenced by the 'authoritarian rulers'. Unarmed ordinary citizens, who include workers, students and farmers, blocked the Pakistan Army's convoy with nothing but their courage and a burning desire for freedom. The resistance sent shockwaves to those in power. The protest exposed Pakistan's fragility and signalled that the nation is on the verge of collapse despite Islamabad using all means to suppress it. Infamous for curbing dissents with brutal unaccountable force, the Pakistan's military today stood exposed as the crowd demanded an end to 'illegal occupation'. Led by Jeay Sindh Qaumi Movement and other nationalist groups, the agitators accused the Army of treating Sindh as a colony and siphoning off its wealth while leaving its people in poverty. 'You have taken our land, rivers and our dignity,' one protester – pointing at the soldiers, whose faces betrayed unease as the cameras rolled. The protest and the slogan invoked the memory of Bangladesh's liberation in 1971 – a watershed moment of Pakistan's history of losing control over its regions because of its 'heavy-handed policies'. The reference to Bangladesh is not only a rhetoric. It is a warning that Sindh, like Balochistan and other ignored regions, is ready to break free from Pakistan's suffocating grip. Many see the Sindh uprising as another crack in Pakistan's crumbling facade. Born after violent partition of 1947, the nation has been struggling for long to hold together its diverse provinces under a Punjabi-dominated military regime. A series of attacks by the powerful Balochistan Liberation Army, including a deadly IED strike – killing 14 Pakistani soldiers, and ongoing unrest in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa highlight a country unraveling at the seams. Inspired by the historical precedent of Bangladesh's independence, Sindh's defiance signals a growing rejection of Pakistan's failed statehood, where military might and religious nationalism have suppressed ethnic identities for too long. Although those at the helm of affairs in Islamabad may try hard to maintain their narrative of control, the demand for 'Sindhudesh' – a result of economic neglect, cultural erasure and forced disappearances – is growing louder and powerful day by day. With its crumbling economy and bloated military budget, the Pakistani state faces another movement that it cannot suppress with propaganda and guns. Like Bangladesh broke itself free from the oppressive chains of Pakistan in 1971, Sindh too is writing it story of liberation.
