US strike on Houthis

Former US President Donald Trump is once again making headlines—this time not for his speeches, indictments, or golf swing, but for posting graphic military footage on his Truth Social account with a signature Trumpian flair: “Oops.”

Trump shared a black-and-white video allegedly showing a deadly US airstrike on Houthi fighters in Yemen, with the caption:

“Oops, there will be no attack by these Houthis. They will never sink our ships again!”

The video resembles imagery from military drone or surveillance aircraft, showing a group of individuals standing in an oval formation—supposedly Houthi rebels preparing for an assault. Seconds later, the screen flashes with an explosion, smoke plumes billow, and the feed cuts to a wide shot of the aftermath. A crater is visible. Bodies? Not so much. But the message? Loud and politically loaded.

While there has been no official confirmation from the Pentagon regarding the clip, Trump’s post comes amid ongoing US raids in Yemen, following multiple attacks by the Houthis on Red Sea commercial and military vessels.

Only Donald Trump can take a potentially classified drone strike and serve it with a side of sarcasm and sound effects. The “Oops” post has divided opinions—some called it “classic Trump,” others saw it as tone-deaf during an ongoing humanitarian crisis.

Still, in Trump fashion, the goal appeared clear: flex military strength and take a jab at US adversaries with just two syllables and a GIF-worthy explosion.

Houthi attacks continue amid Gaza conflict fallout

The Houthi group, backed by Iran, has ramped up its attacks on ships in the Red Sea, claiming it as retaliation for Israel’s military campaign in Gaza. US officials blame the rebels for escalating threats to international shipping lanes, and recent US-led strikes have been aimed at dismantling their capabilities.

According to Houthi-linked media, dozens of fighters were killed in American raids this week alone, though the exact number remains unverified.

In response to growing regional tensions, Washington announced that the USS Carl Vinson would join the USS Harry S. Truman in the Middle East to “promote stability, deter aggression, and ensure the free flow of commerce.”

Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge faces criticism after controversial remark on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, says statement was misinterpreted

A political controversy erupted after Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge referred to Prime Minister Narendra Modi as a “terrorist” during a public address, triggering sharp reactions from the ruling party.

Following the backlash, Kharge issued a clarification, stating that his remarks were misinterpreted and that he did not intend to label the Prime Minister as a terrorist. He instead accused Modi of using threatening language in political discourse.

The comment quickly drew strong criticism from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), with leaders calling the remark inappropriate and accusing the Congress of lowering political discourse. The exchange reflects heightened tensions between the ruling party and the opposition amid the ongoing election season.

Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman also condemned the remark, describing it as “atrocious” and indicative of a new low in political rhetoric.

The incident has further intensified the war of words between the two parties, with both sides trading accusations as campaigning gains momentum.

Assembly elections

Campaign activities continue on ground while engagement with I-PAC leadership reportedly declines after recent developments

Amid ongoing assembly election campaigns, the Trinamool Congress (TMC) and the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) are recalibrating their poll strategies as political consultancy firm Indian Political Action Committee comes under scrutiny.

According to media reports, campaign activities at the ground level remain largely unaffected in both states. Party workers continue voter outreach, rallies, and booth-level coordination without any visible slowdown.

However, there has been a noticeable reduction in engagement with I-PAC’s senior leadership following recent developments, including investigative actions involving the firm.

Sources indicate that while the broader campaign machinery remains intact, both TMC and DMK are making internal adjustments to ensure continuity and minimise dependence on external strategists. This includes greater reliance on party cadres and local leadership for campaign execution.

The developments come at a crucial time, with elections underway and political parties aiming to maintain momentum. Despite the situation surrounding I-PAC, both parties appear focused on sustaining their outreach efforts and adapting strategies as needed.

TMC alleges PM’s unscheduled halt in Jhargram disrupted opposition campaign, says Bengal “will remember”

The Trinamool Congress on Monday launched a sharp attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his brief halt to eat jhalmuri during a campaign visit in Jhargram, claiming the move disrupted opposition leaders’ schedules.

The party alleged that the Prime Minister’s extended stay in the area led to Hemant Soren being unable to complete his planned campaign programme in the state. According to the TMC, the Jharkhand Chief Minister and his wife were eventually forced to return to Ranchi without addressing scheduled events.

The controversy stems from an unscheduled stop made by the Prime Minister during a busy day of campaigning ahead of the West Bengal Assembly Elections 2026. Modi was seen interacting with a street vendor and having jhalmuri, a popular local snack, during his visit.

TMC claimed that due to the Prime Minister’s presence and the extension of his schedule, necessary clearances were not granted for Soren’s helicopter to land in the region. The party said the leaders were kept waiting for hours before being compelled to return, calling the situation a reflection of disregard for elected representatives.

In its criticism, the party said the incident would not be forgotten by voters, remarking that “Bengal will remember,” as campaigning intensifies ahead of polling.

The episode has added to the political tensions in the state, where campaigning has intensified with multiple parties targeting each other over governance and electoral conduct. Meanwhile, the Prime Minister had shared visuals of his stop, describing it as a brief pause between multiple rallies during a packed campaign schedule.
