The first reports are still fragmentary. What we know, from official statements and early battlefield assessments in the public domain, is this: the United States and Israel have launched coordinated strikes on targets inside Iran. Tehran has retaliated with reported missile attacks on several U.S. military installations across the Gulf region. Claims and counter-claims are…
On February 27, 2026, the desert skies over Pokhran Air-to-Ground Range did not merely witness an air exercise — they witnessed a declaration. A declaration that India is prepared. A declaration that India is precise. A declaration that India is no longer dependent. When the Indian Air Force unleashed over 120 aircraft in a meticulously…
The acquittal of former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in the Delhi excise policy case is being celebrated by the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) as moral and political vindication.
