Nepal’s catastrophic flood disaster has triggered one of the country’s biggest helicopter rescue operations. With roads and bridges destroyed across Rasuwa and Nuwakot, helicopters became the only lifeline for thousands stranded in remote mountain areas. More than 4,000 people have been airlifted in hundreds of sorties through narrow, treacherous gorges. Rescue officials say the operation has been even tougher than some Everest rescues, highlighting the enormous challenges faced by emergency teams.

Iran's newly appointed Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, has reportedly been secretly airlifted to Russia for urgent medical treatment following severe war-related injuries. Sources suggest that the 56-year-old leader was transported under the cover of military operations to a private medical facility linked to Vladimir Putin, sparking intense speculation about the geopolitical implications. With Iranian hospitals unable to handle the complexity of his wounds, Khamenei is said to be undergoing critical surgery while shielded from public view. WATCH
