<p>Although a ceasefire is in place between India and Pakistan, tensions remain high. In response to the Pahalgam Terrorist Attack, Pakistan suffered heavy losses due to India&#8217;s ‘Operation Sindoor’. Enraged, Pakistan launched drone and missile attacks on several Indian cities, all of which were thwarted. India retaliated with attacks on Pakistani military installations, inflicting significant damage. While a ceasefire is currently being observed, recent developments suggest the possibility of further escalation.</p>

<p>A mock drill will be held on Thursday, 29 May, in four states bordering Pakistan: Rajasthan, Gujarat, Punjab, and Jammu and Kashmir. The public has been advised to remain vigilant. The drill will take place in the evening across all four states.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Is Something Big About to Happen?</h2>



<p>The sudden decision to conduct a mock drill in the four states bordering Pakistan is somewhat surprising. This naturally raises questions: is something big about to happen? Is India preparing for a major action against Pakistan? It is worth noting that a similar mock drill was conducted on 7 May, and early that morning, the Indian army launched ‘Operation Sindoor’ against Pakistan, destroying nine terrorist bases and killing over 100 terrorists.</p>

<p><strong>Operation Sindoor:</strong> The Ministry of Defence has threatened to replenish the stocks of long-range ammunition, artillery shells, kamikaze drones, and missiles for all three armed forces (Indian Navy, Indian Army, and Indian Air Force). Furthermore, a Hindustan Times report reveals that the Indian Army, during Operation Sindoor, targeted and significantly damaged 11 Pakistani airbases using a total of 19 BrahMos supersonic missiles.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">4 Fighter Jets, Airborne Early Warning Systems Destroyed</h2>



<p>According to the report, during Operation Sindoor, the Indian Army, with the help of fighter jets, surface-to-air missile batteries, and the S-400 Air Defence System, shot down four Pakistan-China manufactured fighter jets and two large aircraft (C-130J and SSB 2000 Airborne Early Warning) systems.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">2 F16s Partially Damaged</h2>



<p>The report, citing sources, suggests that two Indian F16 aircraft may have been partially damaged during the Indo-Pak military clash. Additionally, during the retaliatory action, India destroyed one Chinese LY-80 fire radar, two AN/TPQ-43 US-made automatic tracking radars, and a fire unit of the Chinese HQ-9 radar in Chaklala.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">PL-15 Air-to-Air Missiles Used</h2>



<p>Pakistan used Chinese-made PL-15 air-to-air missiles during the military operation. Pakistan attempted to surprise the Indian Army by deploying two fire units of the 250 km range HQ9 air defence system from Chaklala and Malir Cantonment near Karachi, along with two other air defence systems with a 150 km range.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">India Used BrahMos and Scalp Missiles</h2>



<p>According to the report, the Indian Air Force fired 19 BrahMos supersonic cruise missiles and a similar number of French SCALP subsonic cruise missiles at Pakistani airbases. In response, Pakistan fired CM-400 AKG air-launched supersonic missiles at Indian airbases using JF-17 fighter jets, but they caused no damage.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Pakistani Missiles Failed to Breach Air Defences</h2>



<p>Pakistan used Turkish-made YIHA loitering munitions during the military clash. Pakistan also fired FATAH-1 rockets against India, but the S400, Akash, and D4S anti-drone technology and air defence systems kept the Indian air defence impenetrable. The missiles were destroyed in mid-air, and the drones were ‘soft-killed’.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Crystal Maze Missiles Used Against Terrorist Targets</h2>



<p>On May 7, India used Crystal Maze missiles in action against terrorist targets. Five Crystal missiles were fired at the Markaz-e-Tayyaba headquarters of Lashkar-e-Tayyaba located in Muridke, Punjab province, Pakistan. The Markaz-e-Subhan Allah headquarters of Jaish-e-Mohammed in Bahawalpur was attacked by Rafale fighter jets using Scalp missiles.</p>

<p>Saad bin Atef al-Awlaki, the head of al-Qaeda&#8217;s Yemen branch, has threatened to kill US President Donald Trump and American businessman Elon Musk. Awlaki&#8217;s video shows pictures of Trump and Musk, alongside US Vice President Kamala Harris, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Secretary of Defence Pete Hegseth. Awlaki also mentioned plans to assassinate leaders from Egypt, Jordan, and Gulf Arab states in his video.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Unprecedented Situation in Gaza</h2>



<p>Al-Awlaki stated that the situation in Gaza, and what has happened and is happening to our people there, is unprecedented. Awlaki became the head of al-Qaeda in Yemen in 2024, succeeding Khalid al-Batarfi after his death. There is a US$6 million bounty on Awlaki&#8217;s head. The US government has stated that Awlaki has spoken of attacks on the US and its allies.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Challenging the Houthis&#8217; Prominence</h2>



<p>Experts suggest that Awlaki, the head of al-Qaeda in Yemen, aims to establish his position in the Muslim world by releasing video messages against Israel and Western countries. Recently, the Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen have attacked the US-Israel alliance, gaining popularity in the Muslim world. Therefore, Awlaki seeks to challenge the Houthis&#8217; dominance by portraying himself as equally concerned about the situation in Gaza.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Organisation Possesses 4,000 Fighters</h2>



<p>United Nations experts estimate that al-Qaeda&#8217;s Yemen branch has between 3,000 and 4,000 active fighters, along with thousands more inactive members. The organisation funds itself through robbing banks and money exchange shops, arms trafficking, counterfeit currency, and ransom campaigns. They also have links with the Houthi rebels in Yemen, although the Houthis deny this. Al-Qaeda&#8217;s Yemen branch fighters have repeatedly attacked the Saudi Arabia-backed forces in Yemen.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Over 57,000 Deaths</h2>



<p>From 2023 to 20 May 2025, over 57,000 people have died in Gaza, mostly women and children. Since 2023, 1726 Israeli citizens have been killed. The Israeli army continues military operations in Gaza. 500,000 people are facing severe food insecurity.</p>

<p>Al-Awlaki stated that what has happened and is happening to our people in Gaza is limitless. Awlaki became the head of al-Qaeda in Yemen in 2024, succeeding leader Khalid al-Batarfi after his death.</p>

<p><strong>Anurag Kashyap Sacred Games:</strong> Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos has commented on Anurag Kashyap&#8217;s web series ‘Sacred Games’. He stated that the debut of such an Indian series on Netflix was not ideal. Director Anurag Kashyap criticised and reprimanded Sarandos for this statement. Let&#8217;s understand the full story…</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Netflix CEO Comments on ‘Sacred Games’ </h2>



<p>Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos appeared on Nikhil Kamath&#8217;s podcast, where he discussed Sacred Games. He said, “If I had the chance again, I would have released this show two years later. A more easily understandable show would have been a better option for the debut of an Indian series on Netflix. The audience would have understood it better. Because it took the Indian audience some time to understand Sacred Games.”</p>

<p><strong>Shubman Gill&#8217;s ancestral village near the IND-PAK Border:</strong> A small village, Chak Kherewala, situated in Fazilka district of Punjab, lies a mere 16 kilometres from the Pakistan border. While its name may be unfamiliar to most cricket fans, this village holds a significant connection to Shubman Gill, the captain of the Indian Test team. It is, in fact, Gill&#8217;s ancestral village, where he was born on 8 September 1999. The village erupted in jubilant celebrations on 24 May when Gill was appointed captain of the Indian Test team.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Now, the village of the Test team captain</h2>



<p>Ranga Ram, the village headman, states that Shubman Gill is the pride of their village. The village will now be recognised as the home of the Indian Test team captain. He recounted, &#8220;I remember we villagers were discussing something when a child came running to inform us that Shubhu Paji had become the captain of the Indian Test team. Honestly, hearing this filled our hearts with immense pride.&#8221; In the village, Shubman is affectionately called &#8216;Shubhu Paji&#8217;.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Gill&#8217;s father left the village to make him a cricketer</h2>



<p>Gill&#8217;s father, Lakhvinder Singh, was a farmer with a deep passion for cricket. His ancestors owned over 60 acres of land in the village. Lakhvinder faced a choice: either leave the village for Mohali, a city with better cricket facilities, to nurture Gill&#8217;s cricketing aspirations, or remain in the village and lead a simpler life. He chose the former and left the village 18 years ago.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Every child now dreams of following in Shubman&#8217;s footsteps</h2>



<p>Surinder Chhindi, secretary of the Fazilka Cricket Association, mentions the construction of a new stadium near Gill&#8217;s village to provide better facilities for the children. He added, &#8220;Shubman Gill&#8217;s influence is visible not only in his village but also in the surrounding areas. Every child aspires to become a cricketer like him. Previously, people discouraged children from playing cricket, but now even parents encourage their children.&#8221;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Eagerly awaiting their captain&#8217;s visit</h2>



<p>The villagers assert that Shubman has not forgotten his roots and enjoys spending time in his village. However, this time, it&#8217;s not Shubman but the national Test team captain who will be visiting, and they eagerly await his arrival.</p>

<p><strong>Rohit Sharma on Cheteshwar Pujara:</strong> Indian ODI captain Rohit Sharma revealed that during Mumbai team meetings in domestic cricket, he and his teammates would strategise solely on how to dismiss Cheteshwar Pujara. At the launch event of Pujara&#8217;s wife&#8217;s book, &#8216;The Diary of a Cricketer&#8217;s Wife&#8217;, in Mumbai, Rohit stated that getting the Saurashtra batsman out was crucial for their team, as Pujara often significantly impacted match outcomes.</p>



<p>Rohit mentioned that if they failed to dismiss Pujara, they would lose the match. He jokingly added that playing against Pujara changed his facial complexion so much that even his mother would become concerned. Rohit said, &#8220;After a full day of fielding in the sun, when I returned home, my face would be discoloured. My mother asked me several times, and I told her it was all because of Pujara.&#8221;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Played 100 Test Matches Despite Knee Injury</h2>



<p>Rohit lauded Pujara&#8217;s hard work, especially highlighting that Pujara played over 100 Test matches despite suffering ACL injuries in both knees. Rohit stated, &#8220;It was a serious injury. It&#8217;s difficult for any player to lose both their ACLs. Despite this, Pujara managed to play over 100 Test matches for India.&#8221;</p>


<p>Rohit Sharma on Cheteshwar Pujara: Indian cricketer Rohit Sharma, who has retired from Test and T20 cricket, revealed that during domestic matches between Mumbai and Saurashtra, team meetings would solely focus on how to dismiss Cheteshwar Pujara.</p>

<p><strong>INS Arnala:</strong> A new chapter is set to be added to the strength of the Indian Navy. The country&#8217;s first Anti-Submarine Warfare Shallow Water Craft (SWC) – INS Arnala – will be officially inducted into the Navy on 18 June. This historic ceremony will be held at the Naval Dockyard in Visakhapatnam, presided over by Chief of Defence Staff General Anil Chauhan.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">1490 Tonnes Weight and 77 Metres Long</h2>



<p>INS Arnala, a state-of-the-art warship measuring 77 metres in length and weighing 1490 tonnes, is powered by a diesel engine-waterjet combination. This technology makes it the Indian Navy&#8217;s largest waterjet-propelled warship. The vessel is designed for underwater surveillance, search and rescue operations, and Low Intensity Maritime Operations (LIMO). Its biggest contribution will be seen in anti-submarine operations in coastal waters.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Major Success of the ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ Campaign</h2>



<p>INS Arnala is the first of a series of 16 indigenous Shallow Water Crafts for the Indian Navy. It has been built by Garden Reach Shipbuilders and Engineers (GRSE), Kolkata, in partnership with L&amp;T Shipbuilders under a public-private partnership model. It uses over 80% indigenous material, making it a major success of the ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ (Self-Reliant India) campaign.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Meaning of the Name INS Arnala</h2>



<p>The ship is named after the historic Arnala fort located near the Vasai coast in Maharashtra, which in 1737, under the leadership of Chimaji Appa, became a symbol of maritime security. Reflecting this spirit, INS Arnala will also symbolise India&#8217;s maritime defence capabilities and strategic resolve. This warship incorporates advanced defence systems from major companies like Bharat Electronics Limited, L&amp;T, and Mahindra Defence. The project has also strengthened the domestic defence industry through over 55 MSMEs involved.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Destroyer of Enemies at Sea</h2>



<p>The commissioning of INS Arnala will not only strengthen coastal security but also empower India&#8217;s maritime presence in the Indian Ocean region. This step will prove to be a milestone in establishing India as a self-reliant power in maritime security.</p>


<p>India&#8217;s first anti-submarine warfare shallow water craft is set to join the Navy. The Navy&#8217;s new warship is named ‘INS Arnala’.</p>

<p><strong>AB de Villiers Prediction for WTC Final:</strong> The final match of the ICC World Test Championship will be played at Lord&#8217;s Cricket Ground from Wednesday, 11 June. This time, the defending champions Australia will clash with South Africa in the title match. Both teams are sweating it out during practice to win the title. Meanwhile, Proteas legend AB de Villiers has made a bold prediction. He has said that South Africa can create history by defeating Australia in the World Test Championship final.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">AB de Villiers&#8217;s Support for South Africa</h2>



<p>AB de Villiers  said on Star Sports that this is a big moment for South African cricket. The final at Lord&#8217;s. The whole country will be with the South African team and hopefully we will be able to win. Note that South Africa&#8217;s path to the final was paved by domestic wins against Pakistan and Sri Lanka. While Australia achieved victory after strong performances and a superb domestic record. India played the previous two WTC finals but couldn&#8217;t win.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">&#8216;I am fully confident that we can beat Australia&#8217;</h2>



<p>De Villiers said, &#8220;I&#8217;m excited about the challenge. It&#8217;s a balanced team and I&#8217;m fully confident that we can beat Australia. I&#8217;m &#8216;worried&#8217; because they are clearly the favourites for this ICC World Test Championship final. They are a well-oiled machine. It won&#8217;t be easy for South Africa, but we&#8217;re going there with players in form and big hearts who have something to prove on this stage.&#8221;</p>
