British Ambassador Nigel Casey was summoned to the foreign ministry for a protest after Foreign Secretary David Cameron's statement that Ukraine has the right to use British weapons to strike Russia contradicted an earlier assurance that long-range weapons given to Ukraine would not be used against Russia.

What does China's third aircraft carrier's sea trials mean for India

China's third aircraft carrier, Fujian, has embarked on its maiden trials, signaling the country's naval expansion to challenge the US. With a focus on testing propulsion and electrical systems, the trials are expected to last two years before the carrier joins the fleet in five years. Fujian is the largest and most advanced Chinese aircraft carrier, equipped with the Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System (EMALS) for smoother, more efficient aircraft launches. China's naval modernization is seen as a strategic move to assert dominance in the Indo-Pacific region.

Israel attacks Rafah after Hamas claims responsibility for deadly rocket attack

Three Israeli soldiers were killed in a rocket attack claimed by Hamas near the Gaza Strip city of Rafah, where Palestinian health officials reported at least 19 people killed by Israeli fire. Hamas claimed responsibility for attacking the Kerem Shalom crossing into Gaza, where Israel said three soldiers were killed. Israel closed the crossing to aid trucks but kept others open. Hamas said it targeted an Israeli army base, not the commercial crossing. Israel retaliated with airstrikes, killing three and later nine Palestinians, including a baby.
