The White Knight Corps on Wednesday confirmed the supreme sacrifice of an Indian soldier who lost his life during heavy shelling by the Pakistan Army along the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir.

Lance Naik Dinesh Kumar of the 5 Field Regiment was killed in the shelling that took place in the early hours of Wednesday morning.

Confirming his death, the White Knight Corps posted on social media platform X, “#GOC and all ranks of #WhiteKnightCorps salute the supreme sacrifice of Lance Naik Dinesh Kumar of 5 Fd Regt, who laid down his life on 07 May 25 during Pakistan Army shelling.”

They also expressed solidarity with the civilians affected by the cross-border attacks. “We also stand in solidarity with all victims of the targeted attacks on innocent civilians in #Poonch Sector,” the post further said.

Pakistan Army began shelling civilian areas in Poonch, Tangdhar and other border regions on the night of May 6, and continued firing through May 7. The shelling caused severe damage to homes, forced many locals to flee, and injured several people.

Locals, however, remained firm and backed the Indian Army’s Operation Sindoor. The operation targeted terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK) in response to the Pahalgam terror attack.

The injured are being treated at multiple medical facilities.

Despite Operation Sindoor, Pakistan continued its ceasefire violations on Wednesday, shelling more civilian areas and creating panic among villagers.

According to defence sources, during the night of May 6 and 7, Pakistan carried out arbitrary firing, including heavy artillery shelling, from posts along the LoC and the International Border.

Shelling was also reported in the Poonch and Rajouri sectors following the operation.

A local resident said, “We will not leave the place and support the Indian Army. The ceasefire may be violated today as well… The operation is a befitting reply… We have sent the women and children from here, but the men will stay here.”

Defence sources added that 15 civilians have died and 43 have been injured in the artillery shelling by the Pakistan Army since last night. (ANI)

Satellite imagery released by Maxar Technologies and accessed by Reuters, has provided stark visual evidence of the destroyed terror infrastructure in Pakistan’s Bahawalpur and Muridke caused by India’s precision missile strikes, carried out under ‘Operation Sindoor’ in the early hours of Wednesday.

The strikes, targeting key strongholds of Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), were launched in retaliation for the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir, which claimed 26 lives, mostly tourists.

Before-and-after satellite images of the Jamia Masjid Subhan Allah in Bahawalpur, the operational headquarters of JeM, show significant damage.

Pre-strike images depict an intact mosque and surrounding structures, with post-strike visuals revealing gaping holes in the mosque’s dome, widespread debris, and collapsed buildings.

After:

Colonel Sofiya Qureshi of the Indian Army, during a press briefing on the operation on Wednesday, confirmed the destruction of the Markaz Subhanallah in Bahawalpur, located 100 km inside Pakistan, stating, “It was the headquarters of Jaish-e-Mohammed, targeted by Indian Armed Forces.”

Markaz Subhan Allah, Bahawalpur, operational since 2015, is the main centre of Jem for training and indoctrination and serves as the operational headquarters of JeM. It is associated with terrorist planning by JeM, including the Pulwama attack on February 14, 2019.

The Markaz consists of residences of JeM Chief Maulana Masood Azhar, de facto Chief of JeM Mufti Abdul Rauf Asghar, Maulana Ammar and other family members of Masood Azhar. Masood Azhar has made several addresses from this facility, extolling anti-India rhetoric and appealing to youth to join Islamic Jihad. JeM conducts regular arms, physical and religious training for its cadres at Markaz Subhan Allah.

Similarly, satellite imagery of Muridke, a hub of LeT, shows the aftermath of strikes on Markaz Taiba. Pre-strike images display a sprawling complex with multiple buildings, while post-strike visuals reveal extensive structural damage.

After:

Markaz Taiba, Muridke, established in the year 2000, is the ‘alma mater’ and the most important training centre of LeT in Pakistan. The complex holds arms and physical training facilities, as well as dawa’h and radicalisation for terror entities, both from within Pakistan and abroad.

This Markaz enrols around 1000 students in different courses annually, highlighting the role of this Markaz in churning out terror entities for LeT annually.

Pointing to Markaz Taiba in Muridke, Colonel Qureshi, during the briefing, said that the complex was 18-25 km inside Pakistan and that “those involved in the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks trained here, including Ajmal Kasab and David Headley”.

Osama Bin Laden had financed Rs 10 million to construct a Mosque and Guest House within the complex. (ANI)

Several states observed blackouts on Wednesday as part of the nationwide civil defence mock drills ordered by the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA). The exercise, which involved scheduled blackouts at key locations, aimed to test the country’s emergency preparedness against potential threats.

From Rashtrapati Bhavan and Vijay Chowk in Delhi to Raj Bhavan in Patna, lights were switched off at several key places. The exercise involved scheduled blackouts at several major locations across the country.

Cities like Barmer in Rajasthan, Gwalior in Madhya Pradesh, Surat in Gujarat, Shimla in Himachal Pradesh, and Patna in Bihar also took part in the drill.

Earlier today, Mock drills were carried out across major cities, including Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, Bengaluru, Gwalior, and Jaipur, to evaluate local response capabilities to security challenges.

This came after the Indian Armed Forces launched Operation Sindoor in the early hours of Wednesday, targeting terrorist infrastructures in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK). This operation was a retaliatory response to the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, which resulted in the deaths of 26 civilians, including one Nepali national.

Hours after India conducted a series of strikes on terrorist sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri, Colonel Sofiya Qureshi, and Wing Commander Vyomika Singh held a media briefing in the national capital to share the details of the operation.

Wing Commander Vyomika Singh, who briefed the media alongside Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri and Colonel Sofiya Qureshi, stated that ‘Operation Sindoor’ was launched to deliver justice to the victims of the Pahalgam terror attack and their families.

Singh reported that a total of nine terror sites were targeted and successfully destroyed. She emphasised that the locations were chosen to ensure there was no damage to civilians or their infrastructure.

“Operation Sindoor was launched by the Indian Armed Forces to deliver justice to the victims of the Pahalgam terror attack and their families. Nine terrorist camps were targeted and successfully destroyed… The locations were so selected to avoid damage to civilian infrastructures and loss of any civilian lives”, Wing Commander Vyomika Singh said.

Col Sofiya Qureshi presented the videos of the destruction of terror camps, including from the Muridke and where David Headley and Ajmal Kasab, perpetrators of the 2008 Mumbai attacks, received training. Other than Muridke, Sarjal camp in Sialkot, Markaz Ahle Hadith, Barnala and Markaz Abbas, Kotli and Mehmoona Joya camp, Sialkot, were targeted in the strikes conducted by the Indian Army, Col Qureshi informed.

Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri said that the attack on Pahalgam was driven by an objective of undermining the return of normalcy in Jammu and Kashmir.

“The attack in Pahalgam was marked with extreme barbarity, with the victims mostly killed with head shots at close range and in front of their family…the family members were deliberately traumatised through the manner of killing, accompanied by the exhortation that they should take back the message. The attack was clearly driven by the objective of undermining normalcy returning to Kashmir,” he said.

India has carried out its deepest strikes inside Pakistan’s undisputed territory since 1971, successfully targeting terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir. This marks New Delhi’s most significant military action within Pakistani territory in over five decades. (ANI)

Team India captain Rohit Sharma has officially announced his retirement from Test cricket, bringing an end to a celebrated chapter in his international career. The 38-year-old batter took to Instagram on Wednesday to share the news, expressing gratitude to fans and reflecting on his journey in the longest format of the game.

“Hello everyone, I would just like to share that I am retiring from Test cricket. It’s been an absolute honour to represent my country in whites. Thank you for all the love and support over the years. I will continue to represent India in the ODI format,” Rohit wrote on his Instagram story.

Rohit made his Test debut in 2013 and went on to represent India in 67 matches, scoring 4,301 runs. His red-ball career includes 12 centuries and 18 half-centuries, with a career-best score of 212 against South Africa in 2019.

As a leader in the longest format, Rohit captained India in 24 Test matches, winning 12 and losing 9. Although he faced criticism for India’s performance during the recent tour of Australia, where India failed to qualify for the World Test Championship Final, he did guide the team to the final of the 2023 edition at The Oval.

While stepping away from the oldest format, Rohit confirmed that he will continue to be available for selection in One Day Internationals, where he remains a vital part of India’s setup.

The departure of Rohit from Test cricket marks the end of an era, as Indian cricket bids farewell to one of its most elegant stroke-makers in whites. (ANI)

Bollywood actress Janhvi Kapoor has called out the trolls for criticising the Indian participation at Met Gala 2025.

In a pointed Instagram comment on Diet Sabya’s post, she celebrated the global spotlight now shining on Indian artisans and designers.

“It was high time. Our artisans and designers are the best in the world. They deserve the spotlight on a global stage like the Met. As do our icons,” Janhvi wrote, emphasizing the significance of Indian representation at such prestigious events.

She added, “Shouldn’t we be happy we’re finally getting our due instead of salty about how seeing our own people on this platform is making it seem a little less aspirational Might I say our garments were amongst the most spectacular. Amusing how we’re being almost classist towards ourselves, clearly colonial trauma hasn’t left us.?”

Janhvi also highlighted the rich heritage of Indian craftsmanship.

She wrote, “For decades, the work of our artisans has been exported from our country and put on global platforms without credit. For decades, they have borrowed our fabrics, our embroidery, our textiles, our jewellery and presented it as a creation of which they are the rightful owners.”

“I’m glad our people are finally getting the chance to represent so much of our work and heritage. If anything, the sense of pride I felt seeing our artists and garments at the Met made whole affair seem even more magical,” Janhvi concluded.

The 2025 Met Gala witnessed a significant Indian presence, with Shah Rukh Khan creating history by becoming the first Indian male actor to attend. Kiara Advani revealed her baby bump for the first time as she debuted on Met Gala red carpet.

Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan’s Met Gala debut will be remembered for years as he created history by becoming the first Indian male actor to walk the iconic stairs of The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City on Monday.

Dressed in an all-black Sabysachi outfit, Shah Rukh won hearts with his simple yet classy look. The selling point of the look, however, was the pieces of jewellery. From chokers to pearls, cascading through his open black shirt, anchored by an oversized diamond ‘K’ pendant, the jewellery added an appealing touch to his overall look.

His fingers, too, were adorned with a stack of rings. Also, it was the Bengal Tiger Head cane crafted in 18k gold with tourmalines, sapphires, old mine cut and brilliant cut diamonds, that actually made his Met Gala look captivating.

Many hailed SRK’s Met Gala debut. And now, Amul India has also captured SRK’s iconic debut at Hollywood’s biggest fashion night with a cute doodle, dubbing him “India’s biggest GalaKaar’.”

The post featured a cartoon version of SRK’s Met Gala look- elevated with his Bengal Tiger Cane in one hand and a butter-smeared slice of bread in the other.

“#Amul Topical: Shahrukh Khan attends the worlds most prestigious and glamorous fashion event!,” Amul India captioned the post.

Earlier, during his interaction with the media, SRK said he was ‘nervous; before his debut and it was designer Sabyasachi who convinced him for the debut.”I am extremely nervous and excited. I’ve not done many red carpets, I’m very shy,” he said. He then shared how his children were excited by the idea of him being a part of this year’s iconic Met Gala.

SRK’s close friend and filmmaker Karan Johar was among the first Bollywood celebrities to react to SRK’s grand debut at the biggest fashion event.”ALLL HAIL the KING of the MET. The internet just broke into a gazillion hearts!!!!! @iamsrk …. bhai you RULE! (sic),” Karan wrote on his Instagram stories.

On collaborating with SRK, Sabyasachi said, “Shah Rukh Khan is one of the greatest superstars in the world. A cinematic hero, his blockbuster performances and leading-man charisma have created a legendary international fan following. My interpretation of the Black Dandy is demonstrating his super stardom on a global stage. Dressed in classic menswear with the maximalist flourish of Sabyasachi, Shah Rukh Khan is a magician, superstar, and icon. Period.”

This year Diljit Dosanjh and Kiara Advani also debuted at the Met Gala. (ANI)
