The US military has launched massive midnight airstrikes inside southern Iran, targeting missile launch sites and destroying IRGC naval vessels in Bandar Abbas. US Central Command (CENTCOM) confirms these "self-defense" strikes were ordered after Iranian forces were allegedly caught red-handed attempting to lay naval mines in the ultra-sensitive Strait of Hormuz. 

A massive demolition drive in Mumbai’s Garib Nagar near Bandra station has sparked chaos, outrage and violent clashes as hundreds of shanties are being razed for the Western Railway’s Bandra Terminus expansion project. Authorities say the operation is necessary to increase the station’s operational capacity, but residents claim the drive has turned into a humanitarian crisis. The demolition began after a Bombay High Court order and has already led to the arrest of 19 people following clashes between locals and authorities. Around 500 structures are being cleared as part of the railway redevelopment project.
