In a swift response to the escalating unrest in Bangladesh, Meghalaya has imposed a night curfew along its international border, effective immediately from 6 pm to 6 am daily. This measure restricts movement within a 200-meter zone of the Indian side of the border to address potential security threats. With nine battalions of the Border Security Force (BSF) already deployed, the state government is prepared to send additional forces if necessary. Deputy Chief Minister Prestone Tynsong announced the curfew following a high-level meeting with key officials, including the DIG BSF and the Director General of Police. Covering a 444 km stretch of the border, the curfew reflects the state’s commitment to maintaining security and stability amid the turmoil across the border.

In a recent development that has escalated tensions in the region, Iran's permanent mission to the United Nations announced that Hezbollah's response to the assassination of its top commander, Fuad Shukr, by Israel will be significantly more extensive and intense. The mission stated that the retaliation would target broader and deeper objectives within the Israeli-occupied territories, deviating from the previously observed confines of military operations in border areas and shallow zones.
