'Operation Sadbhav': India sends aid to Myanmar, Vietnam, and Laos post Typhoon Yagi
Sunday, 15 September 2024 India has launched 'Operation Sadbhav' to provide emergency relief to Laos, Myanmar, and Vietnam following Typhoon Yagi. The operation includes sending dry rations, clothing, medicines, water purification items, and other essential supplies via the Indian Navy and Air Force. External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar announced the initiative on social media.
The UN is warning that as many as 630,000 people could be in need of assistance in Myanmar in the wake of Typhoon Yagi.
The storm swept across northern Vietnam, Laos, Thailand and Myanmar more than a week ago with powerful winds and an enormous amount of rain, triggering floods and landslides.
A series of four earthquakes struck India, Myanmar, and Tajikistan within just one hour on Sunday morning, alarming millions across central and South Asia. The strongest tremor, at magnitude 6.1, hit Tajikistan, while Myanmar experienced a powerful 5.5 aftershock amidst its ongoing quake crisis. India’s Himachal Pradesh saw a 3.4 magnitude quake early in the day. Though no major casualties were reported, the tremors sent residents fleeing and reignited fears about seismic vulnerabilities across the region, especially in areas already coping with infrastructure damage and humanitarian distress.

A 5.5-magnitude earthquake hit central Myanmar near Meiktila on Sunday, marking one of the strongest aftershocks since the deadly March 28 temblor that killed over 3,600. The quake struck as the country entered its Thingyan holiday, compounding a humanitarian crisis worsened by the earlier 7.7 quake and ongoing civil war. No casualties have been reported so far, but minor damage and panic were reported in Wundwin township. Relief efforts continue amid growing fears of food shortages, health risks, and political suppression of information in quake-hit zones.

The U.S. has approved a major arms shipment to Israel, including 3,000 bombs, signaling preparation not just for Gaza, but possibly a strike on Iran. Israeli officials confirmed that these munitions will enhance Air Force readiness for large-scale operations. While the Gaza offensive takes global attention, analysts warn the real showdown may be brewing with Tehran. This deal, once frozen under Biden, was fast-tracked by Trump. Experts say the munitions can also target hardened Iranian facilities—raising fresh concerns about regional escalation and U.S. involvement in Israel-Iran tensions.

India has approved its biggest-ever defense deal, worth $7.3 billion, to procure 156 Light Combat Helicopters (LCH) for the Indian Army and Air Force. These helicopters, developed by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL), are equipped to operate in extreme conditions, making them ideal for deployment in sensitive areas like the Siachen glacier and Eastern Ladakh.
