Two powerful IED explosions rocked Dilsukhnagar in Hyderabad, killing 13 people and injuring over 83. The first blast occurred at 6:50 p.m. on a busy road, followed by a second blast as people fled in panic. Authorities suspect the explosives were hidden in or on bicycles. The attack revived memories of the 2007 bombings in Lumbini Park and Gokul Chat that killed 44. Eyewitnesses reported confusion as the first explosion detonated, with people near the scene unaware of the impending danger.
A tragic incident occurred on Sunday when an Indian Coast Guard Advanced Light Helicopter (ALH) Dhruv crashed during a routine training mission in Porbandar, Gujarat. The crash, which took place at the Coast Guard Air Enclave, claimed the lives of three crew members, including the two pilots. According to officials, the helicopter experienced technical difficulties at around 12:10 pm, leading to the crash. All three crew members were initially rushed to a hospital in critical condition, but despite efforts, they succumbed to their injuries. Two were declared dead upon arrival, while the third died later. The crash, which occurred near the runway, caused a fire that was quickly contained by emergency services. The incident follows recent upgrades to the ALH fleet, which were intended to address previous safety concerns. The Indian Coast Guard is currently investigating the cause of the crash.
