Pakistan’s second-largest naval air base under terrorist attack

Pakistani security forces have said they have foiled the armed attack on the PNS Siddique naval air base in Balochistan and said six militants were killed.

In Short

  • Armed terrorist attack on Pakistan’s PNS Siddique naval air base
  • Attack claimed by Balochistan Liberation Army’s Majeed Brigade
  • Pakistan claims 6 terrorists dead, no loss of sensitive installations

Pakistan’s second-largest naval air base, PNS Siddique, in Balochistan province’s Turbat city has come under an armed terrorist attack. The banned Balochistan Liberation Army’s (BLA) Majeed Brigade had claimed responsibility for the attack on the base, where Chinese drones are stationed.

According to The Balochistan Post newspaper, the Majeed Brigade sent a statement to the media, saying that “we have entered the Pakistani Naval Airbase in Turbat”.

It also claimed to have killed “over a dozen” security personnel at the naval base.

Pakistan’s Dawn newspaper said the attack on Monday night came after a series of explosions and firing in the city, which, according to local residents, began at about 10 pm and continued for several hours.

A high-ranking official told the newspaper that the attackers “came from three sides of the airport boundary, but security forces responded immediately and foiled their attempt to infiltrate the premises”.

However, he did not provide any further details, including if there were any casualties or injuries amongst the forces.

Citing security officials, the Dawn newspaper also said that “six militants were killed outside the Turbat airport boundary, ensuring the safety of the base”.

The officials also said that there were no reports of any loss of “sensitive naval installations” at the station, while the Frontier Corps and the navy’s special group “successfully isolated the terrorists”.

The Pakistan Army is yet to make an official statement on the attack.

The Balochistan Post said that this was the BLA’s third attack of this year.

On January 29, the separatist group launched an assault in Mach city and on March 20, they attacked the Gwadar port, leading to the deaths of two Pakistani soldiers and eight assailants.

The BLA has been actively seeking independence for Balochistan and has been involved in various violent acts against the state.

Congress digs out Kangana Ranaut’s ‘soft porn star’ remark, hits back

Congress has hit back at Kangana Ranaut for her derogatory remarks about Urmila Matondkar, questioning her failure to condemn her own comments, following Supriya Shrinate’s clarification of an objectionable post related to Ranaut on her Instagram.

In Short

  • Congress slams Kangana Ranaut for derogatory remarks
  • Ranaut called Urmila Matondkar a ‘soft porn star’ in earlier video
  • Supriya Shrinate clarifies objectionable post on Ranaut

Hours after Congress lawmaker Supriya Shrinate clarified an offensive tweet about Kangana Ranaut on her Instagram account, the party attacked the actor for referring to actor Urmila Matondkar, who had previously joined and left Congress, as a “soft porn star”.

Srinivas BV, president of the Indian Youth Congress (IYC) on X, shared an older video of Ranaut raving about Urmila Matondkar, saying, “What was posted from Supriya Ji’s account was utterly disrespectful. She has not only erased it, but also clarified and condemned it in the strongest possible terms.” (sic).

“How about you?” Calling Urmila Matondkar a’soft porn star’ on live television? “Have you condemned it?” he tweeted.

THE KANGANA-URMILA CONTROVERSY

Urmila Matondkar, who made her political debut as a Congress candidate in the 2019 Lok Sabha election from the Mumbai North constituency, resigned from the party soon after. Later, in 2020, she joined Shiv Sena.

Urmila had slammed Kangana for disrespecting veteran actor Jaya Bachchan, who, in a 2020 speech in Parliament, had objected to the entire film industry being ‘tarnished’.

In an interview, Urmila said, “When Kangana was not even born, Jaya ji was in the film industry. We’re talking about a lady here (Jaya Bachchan) who has herself been an icon. Which part of Indian culture tells you to lash out at people like this?”

DC vs. PBKS,(4-wicket win): IPL, Second Match, Mohali, Mar. 23, 2024!

At the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur, Punjab Kings defeated Delhi Capitals by four wickets in Match 2 to open TATA IPL 2024 on a positive note. Sam Curran (63 off 47) and Liam Livingstone (38* off 21) made significant hits to help PBKS chase down 175 in the opening IPL encounter at the new location. Earlier, a combined bowling effort had reduced DC to 174/9. Chasing 175, PBKS lost openers Shikhar Dhawan and Jonny Bairstow during the Powerplay despite getting off to a quick start. Within the first three overs, Dhawan and Jonny Bairstow combined 34 runs.

They got off to a fast start, hitting four fours in Khaleel Ahmed’s opening over. The breakthrough came then from Ishant Sharma, who cleaned up Dhawan. After Sharma got fingertip length off a straight drive from Prabhsimran Singh, DC had another opportunity in the over when Bairstow was run out at the non-striker’s end. Bairstow was shown to be short on the video.

IPL 2024: Liam Livingstone hit a maximum to get the Punjab Kings over the line at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur, Mohali. Sam Curran also played his part in the game with a crucial half-century. (PBKS vs DC Live Score)

PBKS vs DC Live Score, IPL 2024: Just four wickets remaining, Punjab Kings had successfully chased down the 175 runs that Delhi Capitals had set. DC’s standout performers were Sam Curran and Liam Livingstone, while Kuldeep Yadav’s bowling performance was excellent. Sam Curran and Prabhsimran Singh helped the Punjab Kings innings settle down after a ferocious start. Nevertheless, Liam Livingstone and Sam Curran put together another partnership to help the Punjab Kings advance in this match after Prabhsimran and Shashank Singh were removed from the game quickly.

In between, Delhi’s standout bowlers were Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel, who combined to give up about six runs per over and claim two wickets apiece to help Delhi stay in the game.

Moscow terror attack: US finds no proof of Ukrainian government complicity!

The “heinous” terrorist attack carried out by ISIS at the Crocus City Hall music venue near Moscow has been harshly denounced by the US

Moscow terror attack: The United States reiterated that there is no proof linking the Ukrainian government to the terrorist incident at the Moscow music hall, which was carried out by ISIS at Crocus.

Russian President Vladimir Putin is aware that ISIS carried out this terrorist assault, according to White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre’s statement on Tuesday.

“ISIS was the group that carried out this terrorist attack. Mr. Putin is aware of that. He is fully aware of that. Furthermore, she stated, “There is not a shred of proof linking the Ukrainian government to this attack.”

Karine Jean-Pierre expressed her condolences, saying that she wanted to take a moment to reflect and send her sincere sympathies to everyone who was harmed in this awful attack as well as to the families of those who lost loved ones.

“We continue to strongly condemn the heinous terrorist attack in Moscow,” she said.

“We make that extremely apparent. To be more precise, we conducted a public advisory and notified Americans residing in Russia on March 7. And here, Pierre stated, ISIS is the only one to blame.

The music hall terror attack claimed the lives of at least 133 people.

The “heinous” terrorist act carried out by ISIS at the Crocus City Hall music venue outside Moscow has been harshly condemned by the United States, which has also sent its sympathies to the families of the deceased.

ISIS must be vanquished globally, according to White House Press Secretary Karine Jeane-Pierre, who referred to the group as a “common terrorist enemy” in a statement.

“The horrific terrorist attack that occurred in Moscow is strongly denounced by the United States.” Our heartfelt sympathies go out to everyone impacted by these heinous assaults on defenseless civilians, as well as to those who lost loved ones. “ISIS is a global terrorist threat that needs to be vanquished,” the statement said.

Additionally, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken declared that the US condones with Russia for the deaths caused by the terrorist assault in Moscow.

Blinken wrote on X, “The terrorist attack in Moscow on March 22 is strongly condemned by the United States.” We are in sympathy with the Russian people as they mourn the lives lost in this terrible incident.”

CM Arvind Kejriwal issues first order from jail; Sunita Kejriwal is the target of BJP’s increased attacks!

The Bharatiya Janata Party has been demanding that Kejriwal relinquish the chief ministerial post.

New Delhi: Following his apprehension in connection with the liquor policy scandal, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has issued his first directive. He was arrested on Thursday night, making him the first chief minister in office currently serving. In the meantime, Sunita Kejriwal, Arvind Kejriwal’s wife, has been the target of increased BJP attacks.

“From ED detention, he (Kejriwal) has given his first directive. The instructions are for the Water department of the city government. Later in the day, Atishi, the minister of water, will make the announcement, party officials told PTI.

Kejriwal’s resignation as chief minister has been demanded by the cc. The AAP has insisted that he will lead the government while incarcerated.

In a scathing critique of Kejriwal’s proposed jail plans, BJP MP Manoj Tiwari stated on Saturday that gangs, not governments, operate out of jails.

Tiwari persisted in criticizing Kejriwal on Sunday. In addition, he launched a fresh offensive against his spouse Sunita Kejriwal, who on Saturday had brought the chief minister’s message to Delhi.

The narrative ‘Ek safar swaraj se sharab tak’ comes to mind when you consider Arvind Kejriwal’s arrest.Arvind Kejriwal stated, “My sole concern is how I’m going to move into a ‘Rajmahal’ as soon as possible.

He also attacked Sunita Kejriwal with a scathing remark.

Yesterday, Sunita Kejriwal conducted an interview while seated in the chief minister’s chair; she showed no signs of embarrassment.There is a national conversation about the excellent work being done by the ED and CBI. A small group of dishonest people also disparage him. This was not how ED and CBI operated before to 2014. Because the Congress government had to safeguard corruption nationwide prior to 2014, they did not grant the agencies that authority.

The party is called CM’s. The government was reorganized after 2014. A new record has been set by Narendra Modi. They’re given a free hand, be it any agency,” he continued.

The Enforcement Directorate is in charge of Arvind Kejriwal till March 28. He has filed a case against his arrest with the Delhi High Court.

The Delhi High Court has received an appeal from Arvind Kejriwal claiming that his arrest was illegal and illegitimate. He went so far as to claim that the fact that the ED had custody of him until March 28 is illegal and that he ought to be released right away. The Delhi High Court did not impose a stay on any order and declined to have an emergency hearing. Upon examination of all supporting documentation, the courts conclude that all events were fully compliant with the law. They attempted to take this case to the SC at midnight two days ago. Arvind Kejriwal also had to withdraw his SC case,” Sambit remarked.

AAP leaders have launched a massive protest in Delhi against Arvind Kejriwal’s arrest.

After clearing bail, Elvish Yadav’s first Instagram post featured opulent cars and a teaching on how time is the best teacher.

Elvish Yadav, the winner of Bigg Boss OTT 2, is a YouTuber and luxury automobile enthusiast who was granted bail in the assault and snake poison cases.

In the counts involving the assault and snake venom, Elvish Yadav was granted bail. With a dash of humility, the Bigg Boss OTT 2 champion and YouTuber returned to his distinctive way of life. Although the caption of his first Instagram picture after being granted bail features a few expensive cars, it also talks about how time is the finest teacher.

Elvish posted a photo of himself posing with two expensive cars on Instagram on Saturday, only hours after being granted bail in the assault case. He is not facing the camera and is dressed in a black half-jacket, brown boots, blue jeans, brown shirt, and sunglasses. But what really drew the attention from his followers was his caption. “Samay dikhai nahi deta par bahut kuchh dikha jata hai” is what he wrote in Hindi. “Time is invisible, but it makes you see a lot.” Additionally, he included hashtags for Elvish Army and Elvish Yadav.

Six days after Elvish was taken into custody in a drug case, a Gautam Buddh Nagar court on Friday granted him bail. In the course of their investigation into the possible use of snake venom as a recreational substance at parties he organized, the Noida Police detained him on March 17. Elvish was one of the six individuals listed in a First Information Report (FIR) that was filed at the Sector 49 police station in Noida on November 3, 2018, in response to a complaint from a People for Animals (PFA) representative. The other five defendants, who are all snake charmers, were taken into custody in November but are now free on bond.

Moscow concert hall attack toll rises to 93, 4 ‘terrorists’ among 11 arrested

A total of 93 people have so far been killed in the Moscow concert hall attack. Eleven people, including four terrorists, were arrested for the attack.

In Short

  • Death toll in Moscow concert hall attack rises to 93
  • Eleven people arrested in connection with the attack
  • Four of those arrested deemed ‘terrorists’

The death toll in Friday’s Moscow concert hall attack has gone up to 93. Meanwhile, eleven people were arrested on Saturday for their involvement in the attack, Russian media reports said.

Among those arrested were four ‘terrorists’, according to the reports.

Multiple fatalities were reported after assailants burst into the concert hall in western Moscow and sprayed the crowd with gunfire.

The Islamic State group claimed responsibility for the attack in a statement posted on affiliated channels on social media.

The attack was the deadliest in Russia in years and left the concert hall in flames and with a collapsing roof.

The head of Russia’s Federal Security Service told Russian President Vladimir Putin on Saturday that four people directly involved in the attack were among 11 people arrested, Russian media stated.

Soon after the incident, a fleet of emergency vehicles were seen gathering outside the ruins of Crocus City Hall, a shopping mall and music venue with a capacity of more than 6,000 people in Krasnogorsk, on Moscow’s western edge.

Friday’s attack came just days after President Putin cemented his grip on power in a highly orchestrated electoral landslide.

The attack was the deadliest in Russia in years and came as the country’s fight in Ukraine dragged into a third year.

Videos widely shared on social media showed gunmen in the venue shooting civilians at point-blank range.

The roof of the theatre, where crowds had gathered Friday for a performance by the Russian rock band Picnic, collapsed in the early hours of Saturday morning as firefighters spent hours fighting a fire which erupted during the attack.

Chennai Super Kings did ‘CSK things’ and Royal Challengers Bengaluru did ‘RCB things’ as the 17th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) kicked off in grand fashion at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium here on Friday.

  • MARCH 23, 2024 00:04- CSK gets first points on board

It was the early onslaught from Rachin Ravindra that really made the difference between the two sides. While RCB too had a quick start, it was not able to sustain it. CSK could do that courtesy of 37 off 15 from Rachin and Ajinkya Rahane’s 19-ball 28. There was a brief period where two wickets gave some hope to Faf & Co but Shivam Dube and Ravindra Jadeja got together to end that.

  • MARCH 22, 2024 23:52 – CSK 176/4 in 18.4 overs

Joseph to Dube, SIX! Way too short and Dube gets the invitation to pull it over mid-wicket. FOUR leg byes down to fine leg to win the match by six wickets.

  • MARCH 22, 2024 23:47- CSK 164/4 in 18 overs

Siraj to Dube, FOUR! On the leg-stump line, Dube pulls it behind the square. FOUR more! Swats it down the ground right back over the bowler’s head.

  • MARCH 22, 2024 23:38 – CSK 156/4 in 17 overs

Joseph to continue. Sloppy work from Anuj Rawat. An overthrow from him allows Jadeja to pick a second run. FOUR! Dube cuts this uppish delivery behind the square to pull his side closer to the target. FOUR byes in the over bring the required equation to run a ball. 19 needed off 19. Rawat looks like he’s hurt his hand trying to prevent those byes. Gets some treatment. 16 runs from the over.

  • MARCH 22, 2024 23:31 – CSK 140/4 in 16 overs

Green again. Jadeja taps to the on side with soft hands, hoping to pick two runs but some sharp work in the field allows only a single. FOUR! On his body, Dube hooks it off his back foot. A wide to follow from Green. Dube uppercuts to collect three more. Four more runs from the over make it 12 off it.

  • MARCH 22, 2024 23:25 – CSK 128/4 in 15 overs

Siraj is back for his third over. Jadeja is swift in pulling the ball on the on side but cannot quite breach the fence. Another seven-run over.

  • MARCH 22, 2024 23:20 – CSK 121/4 in 14 overs

Glenn Maxwell to Jadeja. SIX! Jadeja takes a long stride on his front foot to get to the pitch and lofts it over the bowler’s head. A single too long on the next ball. Four dots on the trot for Dube.

  • MARCH 22, 2024 23:13 – CSK 114/4 in 13 overs

Green to Dube, a bouncer for the batter which he fails to pull away. RCB is up in appeal, claiming a faint edge. A DRS check shows nothing and Faf and his team are one review down. WICKET! Green strikes again, and Mitchell holes out at long-on.

Daryl Mitchell c Patidar b Green 22 (18)

Ravindra Jadeja is on a mission now. Five runs from the over.

  • MARCH 22, 2024 23:08 – CSK 109/3 in 12 overs

Joseph back into the attack. He manages to trouble the batters with his hit-the-deck deliveries, but Mitchell and Dube are able to pick up seven runs from the over. 

  • MARCH 22, 2024 23:02- CSK 102/3 in 11 overs

Cameron Green for his first over. SIX! A juicy half-volley for Rahane packs it behind square. WICKET! Tries to pull the bowler on again but is caught at the fence. Could not get the full swing of the bat.Ajinkya Rahane c Maxwell b Green 27 (19)Shivam Dube off the mark off the first delivery. 72 needed off 54

  • MARCH 22, 2024 22:59 – CSK 92/2 in 10 overs

Dagar to continue. Another tidy over which gives away four runs. Dagar sticking to the stumps line and firing in flat deliveries.

  • MARCH 22, 2024 22:56- CSK 88/2 in 9 overs

Karn to Mitchell, SIX! Overpitched and gets the treatment, parks it right into the sight screen. SIX more! This delivery is more on the off side but still at a length good enough to loft it over the boundary. 15 runs from the over.

  • MARCH 22, 2024 22:53- CSK 73/2 in 8 overs

Daryl Mitchell in at No. 4, Mayank Dagar for his first over. Just two runs from the over, a single each for the two batters. CSK needs 101 off 72 balls.

  • MARCH 22, 2024 22:46- CSK 71/2 in 7 overs

RCB brings on spin. Karn Sharma to bowl. SIX! Rachin is given the time to go back on his back foot, and he uses it to pick a maximum over mid-wicket. OUT! One shot too many for Rachin. He tries to slog sweep but hands it to deep square leg. Rachin Ravindra c Patidar b Sharma 37 (15)

  • MARCH 22, 2024 22:42- CSK 62/1 in 6 overs

Dayal to Rahane, SIX! In the slot Rahane frees his levers to launch it over mid-off. Two runs, Rahane tries to chip it over mid-off again. He does not middle it but gets enough bat on it to beat the fielder. An overthrow on the final delivery allows three runs to Rahane. 

  • MARCH 22, 2024 22:37- CSK 49/1 in 5 overs

Alzarri Joseph for the first time. SIX! Way too short first up and Rachin pummels it behind square. Ajinkya Rahane gets off the mark with a single to third man. Rachin tries to swipe at a delivery outside off; it is in the direction of mid-off but falls short. Eleven runs from the over.

  • MARCH 22, 2024 22:31- CSK 38/1 in 4 overs

Dayal to Ruturaj, one run with a tap to third man. FOUR! Angling down leg to Rachin who nudges it wide of short fine leg. FOUR again! This time it’s on the pads of Ruturaj who glides it to the fence through fine leg. WICKET! Ruturaj nicks to Cameron Green at first slip while chasing a wide delivery.Ruturaj Gaikwad c Green b Dayal 15 (15)

  • MARCH 22, 2024 22:25- CSK 28/0 in 3 overs

Siraj starts his second over with a wide. BOUNDARY! Siraj strays on the pads and Rachin clips it past the square leg. CHANCE! Rachin’s attempted flick takes a leading edge but thankfully flies over the bowler. SIX to finish the over! A top edge off a pull shot, and the ball lands over the fine leg rope.

  • MARCH 22, 2024 22:20- CSK 13/0 in 2 overs

Yash Dayal from the other end, Rachin on strike. FOUR! Streaky but Rachin will take it. He slashes hard outside off, and gets an inside edge which runs to the right of the keeper. The boundary and a single from the over.

  • MARCH 22, 2024 22:16- CSK 8/0 in 1 over

Mohammed Siraj to Ruturaj, FOUR! A boundary off the first delivery. It is pitched short and the CSK skipper latches onto it with a pull shot. FOUR more, this one through point. Ruturaj drives this delivery outside off. It hangs in the air but flies between the fielders and runs away to the fence.

  • MARCH 22, 2024 22:14- CSK needs 174 runs to win

Rachin Ravindra and Ruturaj Gaikwad walk out for the home team.

  • MARCH 22, 2024 22:14- IMPACT SUB FOR RCB

IN – Yash Dayal | OUT – Dinesh Karthik

  • MARCH 22, 2024 22:09- Did RCB get enough?

The final total looked a distant dream when RCB was struggling at 42 for three at the end of the PowerPlay. Faf du Plessis gave the side a strong start which withered away with three quick wickets. Virat Kohli and Cameron Green arrested the slide for a bit before Anuj Rawat and Dinesh Karthik added 95 runs for the sixth wicket, taking the side to a respectable 173. But Karthik admitted this is a batting pitch and that the RCB bowlers need to bowl “out of their skins” to win.

  • MARCH 22, 2024 21:53

Rawat, Karthik take RCB to competitive total

  • MARCH 22, 2024 21:40- RCB 173/6 in 20 over

Tushar to bowl the final over of the innings. He starts with a WIDE. The plan looks fairly clear. Tushar wants to target yorker-length deliveries outside off stump and in that process bowls two wides while RCB loses two reviews reviewing two calls for wide. FOUR! Dinesh gets an outside edge which runs away at third man. Karthik misses to get a connection in the final delivery and Dhoni nails the direct hit to run out Anuj Rawat who was just shy of making his ground. Anyhow a brilliant comeback from the wicket-keeper duo which added 95 off 50 for the sixth wicket and took RCB to 173. 

  • MARCH 22, 2024 21:37- RCB 163/5 in 19 overs

Mustafizur with his final over. Dinesh Karthik lofts it over infield and runs two as RCB gets to 150. Mustafizur to Rawat, SIX! This young man can bat! He walks down the track and hits Mustafizur for a straight six. FOUR! This time Karthik plays fine and it runs away at the boundary. 16 off this over. 

  • MARCH 22, 2024 21:30- RCB 148/5 in 18 overs

Tushar Deshpande to bowl the 18th over. Karthik changes his stance and tries to play the reverse sweep, Tushar follows him but bowls way outside offside and it is a WIDE. Tushar to Dinesh, SIX! Brilliant shot! A flat-batted straight six. Tushar to Rawat, SIX! This time full and in the batter’s slot as Rawat smokes it over deep mid-wicket for a gigantic six. Tushar to Rawat, SIX! Full toss and easy pickings for Rawat, who clears the long-on boundary. FOUR! Slower one from Tushar and Rawat plays fine to get 25 from this over.

  • MARCH 22, 2024 21:21- RCB 123/5 in 17 overs
