In a surprising turn of events in Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh, Sapna Devi has returned home after eloping with her daughter Shivani's fiancé, Rahul, just days before their scheduled wedding on April 16. Devi and Rahul vanished on April 8, taking with them approximately Rs 3.5 lakh in cash and jewellery valued at over Rs 5 lakh, prompting Devi's husband, Jitendra Kumar, to file a missing persons report. After a 12-hour counselling session with local police, Devi expressed her desire to remain with Rahul, citing "mental torture" from her family as the reason for her departure. While Rahul claimed to have "saved" Devi, her daughter expressed anger over the theft, stating that they no longer cared for Devi's choices, only wishing for the return of their valuables. Jitendra vowed not to let the couple go until the money and jewellery are returned.

Apr 19 2025, 9 ameznews.inThe Akash missile system, developed indigenously over 15 years, played a crucial role in neutralising missiles and drones during a Pakistani attack on western India on Thursday night. Designed by Dr. Prahlada Ramarao, the system can simultaneously engage multiple aerial threats, including drones and advanced fighter jets like the F-16. Dr. Ramarao, who was the youngest Project Director for the Akash programme, expressed immense pride in the system's performance, stating it exceeded expectations. Integrated with India's counter-unmanned aerial system and other anti-aircraft weapons, the Akash created a robust defence shield, demonstrating India’s capability to control its airspace. Manufactured by Bharat Dynamics Limited, the system can engage targets at altitudes of up to 20km and operates autonomously. With a recent export deal to Armenia, Dr. Ramarao's vision of "the whole sky is ours" has been realised through this advanced military technology.

May 09 2025, 8 pmeznews.inThe Pakistani military has deployed Turkish-made 'Songar' armed drones, as announced in a government briefing on Friday. Developed by Ankara-based Asisguard, the Songar is notable for being the first armed drone in the Turkish military arsenal. It is available in five variants, each equipped with different weaponry, including an assault rifle, grenade launchers, and a mortar gripper, while a non-lethal version can carry tear gas or smoke canisters. The drones are capable of broadcasting real-time video and have a mission radius of up to 5 km, suggesting they were launched from locations near the Indian border. The grenade-launcher variant offers close air support, capable of firing two grenades with an effective range of 400-450 meters, enhancing Pakistan's military capabilities in the region.

May 09 2025, 8 pmeznews.inNEW DELHI: The Indian government has accused Pakistan of deliberately targeting places of worship along the border in Jammu and Kashmir, citing damage to several gurudwaras, convents, and temples from recent shelling. Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri condemned this escalation, particularly highlighting the tragic deaths of two students from a Christian school in Poonch due to Pakistani artillery fire. Misri stated that such actions represent a new low for Pakistan and dismissed Islamabad's claims that India was attacking its own cities as "a deranged fantasy." The tensions between the two nations have heightened following a terror attack in Pahalgam that killed 26 people, which India attributes to Pakistan. In retaliation, India launched 'Operation Sindoor,' targeting nine terror bases in Pakistan. Following these strikes, India reported heavy shelling from Pakistan, prompting defensive measures, including blackouts in several states to safeguard against potential air strikes.

May 09 2025, 7 pmeznews.inPakistan launched missile attacks on 15 Indian cities late Wednesday and early Thursday, disregarding India's warnings against escalation and targeting military installations. In retaliation, Indian forces neutralized Pakistani air defense systems in locations including Lahore. The Indian government confirmed that its response was proportionate to Pakistan's aggression, employing advanced defense systems like the Russian-made S-400 to intercept threats. This escalation follows India's Operation Sindoor, which targeted terrorist camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, killing over 100 militants in response to a terror attack that resulted in 26 civilian deaths. Despite the ongoing tensions, Indian officials emphasized their commitment to non-escalation, contingent on Pakistan's actions. The situation remains critical, with reports of increased cross-border firing resulting in civilian casualties on both sides.

May 08 2025, 10 pmeznews.inIn a tense escalation between India and Pakistan, the Indian armed forces successfully targeted and destroyed an air defence radar in Pakistan after thwarting multiple incursions by Pakistani drones into Indian airspace. Wing Commander Vyomika Singh reported that the Pakistani military attempted to penetrate Indian airspace with 300-400 drones aimed at military installations, leading to defensive actions from India, which neutralized many of the intruders. Notably, an armed UAV attempted to strike the Bathinda military station but was intercepted. This follows Pakistan's earlier failed missile attacks on 15 Indian cities, prompting India to launch phase two of Operation Sindoor, which has already neutralized air defence systems in Lahore. In response to ceasefire violations, Indian retaliatory fire reportedly caused significant losses to the Pakistani army. Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri emphasized that India's responses have been "responsible and sufficient," indicating a measured approach to the ongoing conflict.

This escalation followed India's air strikes under Operation Sindoor on Wednesday, targeting what it described as "terrorist infrastructure" in Pakistan, in retaliation for a deadly attack in Pahalgam that killed 26 tourists. In response, Pakistan launched drone attacks along its western border on the night of May 8-9, which the Indian Army reported as effectively repulsed, aided by the Akash surface-to-air missile system. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh conducted a review of national security following these incidents, and the central government has granted the Army Chief authority to mobilize the Territorial Army as needed. Additionally, states have been instructed to empower civil defence authorities for emergency procurement, enhancing preparedness for potential crises.

May 09 2025, 7 pmeznews.inNEW DELHI: Pakistan launched an unprecedented attack, firing over 300 drones, including some of Turkish origin, aimed at military installations across 36 cities in northern and western India, from Jammu and Kashmir to Punjab and Rajasthan. India successfully neutralized the assault. Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri, in a briefing, linked the drone strikes to the Jaish-e-Mohammed headquarters and the 2002 murder of Wall Street Journal journalist Daniel Pearl, who was killed by Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh, a British-Pakistani jihadi with ties to the ISI. The drone attack followed India's 'Operation Sindoor,' a precision strike on terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan, which reportedly killed key figures, including Masood Azhar's brother. Misri emphasized that India targeted only terrorists, refuting Pakistan's claims of civilian casualties, and criticized the practice of state funerals for terrorists in Pakistan, underscoring the ongoing tensions between the two nations.

May 09 2025, 7 pmeznews.inIn a significant escalation of hostilities, Pakistan launched an attack involving 300 to 400 drones targeting Indian military installations across 36 locations in Jammu and Kashmir, Rajasthan, and Punjab late Thursday night. Colonel Sofiya Qureshi reported that Indian air defence systems successfully intercepted most of these drones, shooting down 50 and neutralising another 20 through radio frequency jamming. Many drones were unarmed, suggesting a test of India's defences, although some were equipped with cameras. The drone assault followed a precision strike by India on terror camps in Pakistan, prompting a retaliatory missile barrage from Islamabad. Despite the attack, India's air defence capabilities, including the Akash missile system, effectively repelled the threats, reinforcing India's aerial dominance. The incident marks a blatant violation of the ceasefire agreement and has resulted in casualties, including 16 Indians, as tensions between the two nations continue to rise.
