The defence secretary said: “He comes from an immigrant family who come here, work hard, do give up on things in order to bring their children up… who ends up being prime minister of the United Kingdom.” Report by Covellm.

During a discussion on the Agniveer scheme for entry into the Armed Forces, Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi criticised the treatment of Agniveers. He highlighted a recent incident where an Agniveer lost his life in a landmine blast but was not recognized as a martyr. Gandhi described the Agniveer scheme as treating soldiers as "use & throw labourers," implying that it fails to honour their sacrifices and contributions adequately. His comments underscored concerns about the scheme's implications for the dignity and recognition of those serving in the Armed Forces.

Hezbollah and Yemen's Armed Forces have significantly improved their air defense capabilities, successfully downing several Israeli and US drones. This development is forcing Israel and the US to reconsider their air operations in the region. Experts suggest that these groups' enhanced abilities could challenge Israel's air dominance and compromise intelligence gathering. As a result, Israel and the US may need to adjust their tactics, improve countermeasures, and continue developing new technologies to maintain their aerial advantage.

Ukrainian President Zelensky has replaced Lieutenant General Sodol with Brigadier General Hnatov as head of the Joint Command of the Armed Forces. This change follows criticism of Sodol's leadership and recent Russian gains. Simultaneously, a Russian missile attack on Pokrovsk killed five and injured 41, including children. The leadership change is part of Zelensky's pattern of reshuffling military and political positions in response to battlefield setbacks.
