China's Ships In Indian Backyard: What Bangladeshs $335-Mn Mongla Port Deal Means For Delhi
Bangladesh has signed a $335 million loan agreement with China to expand and modernise Mongla Port, located roughly 80 kilometres from Indias border. The project will fund two container terminals, cargo yards and modern port machinery. On paper, this is an infrastructure deal. But the timing and location make it strategically important for New Delhi. The port is close to Indias eastern frontier and has been used by Indian cargo since 2018. The deal also comes after Bangladesh cancelled an India-backed economic-zone project on adjoining land and handed the site to a Chinese company. There is no Chinese military base at Mongla. China has not been given the right to operate the port. But strategic influence does not always arrive in uniform. It comes through loans, contracts, supply chains and long-term dependency. With Chinese defence and infrastructure ties deepening across Bangladesh, India faces a clear warning on its eastern flank. Shreya Chandra has more

Legitimate Targets: Houthis Warn Civilians Away From Aramco Sites And Riyadh Airport
Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman reportedly rejected an offer from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to help Saudi Arabia fight Yemens Houthis, according to Haaretz. Citing a diplomatic source, the Israeli newspaper reported that Netanyahus proposal was delivered through American mediation. The Israeli leader reportedly viewed the Saudi-Houthi confrontation as an opportunity for security cooperation that could help bring Israel and Saudi Arabia closer despite the absence of formal diplomatic relations. But MBS reportedly rejected the offer because of concerns over a potential backlash from the Saudi public. Cooperation with Israel remains politically sensitive following the Gaza war and amid Riyadhs insistence that progress on the Palestinian issue is necessary for normalisation. The reported rejection comes as Saudi Arabia faces repeated Houthi missile and drone attacks while Saudi-backed forces battle the group inside Yemen. Netanyahu has long sought Saudi participation in the Abraham Accords, but major political obstacles to normalisation remain.
Dramatic Turn In Flydubai Terror Probe; UAE Detains 2 Maldivian Pilots Over Links With Omani Suspect
The Flydubai terror probe has taken a dramatic turn. Two Maldivian pilots employed by the airline were detained in the UAE after the September 30 cockpit attack on Indian Captain Smit Machchhar. The suspect, Omani co-pilot Hammam al-Hammami, allegedly attacked Machchhar during a Dubai-to-Tel Aviv flight and tried to take control of the aircraft. UAE investigators say he had extremist views, studied earlier Tel Aviv flights and planned a 9/11-inspired attack on Ben Gurion Airport. They also say he confessed to acting alone. Yet the detention of two colleagues has raised fresh questions about his contacts, communications and possible support network. The UAE has not released details of the allegations against the Maldivian pilots. Indias NIA is separately investigating the incident under the Anti-Hijacking Act and UAPA. Facts remain unclear. For now, the case is a widening investigation, not a proven conspiracy. The unanswered question is simple: who else knew?

An old video featuring Qazi Touqeer, who is currently a contestant on Bigg Boss 20, has resurfaced on social media, drawing attention for its controversial content. In the clip, Qazi is seen making a joke about the __ ka button, with vulgar images of womens private parts appearing towards the end. The video has sparked discussions online, bringing renewed scrutiny to the clip and the reactions surrounding it. Amid the ongoing conversation, YUNG DSAs team has responded with a sarcastic social media post that appears to take a dig at Qazi. Sharing a video on YUNG DSAs social media account, the team wrote, EXPOSED! Our Qazi Bhai is genuinely very sick, hence only he can think of creating such videos, please take care Qazi Bhai. The post has drawn attention amid the support Qazi has received from several celebrities. During a recent Bigg Boss 20 Weekend Ka Vaar episode, Salman Khan was seen reprimanding YUNG DSA and Scout over what he perceived as an exaggeration of the comment. However, the resurfaced clip has now brought fresh attention to the matter, with YUNGs team seemingly questioning the reactions and support extended to Qazi. The development comes as YUNG DSA continues his journey on the reality show. The rapper, who is the youngest contestant on the show, has largely been playing his game independently. He has also received limited support from friends inside the house. Recently, Scout was seen discussing the possibility of maintaining distance from YUNG, adding another dimension to their equation. With its latest post, YUNG DSAs team has taken the discussion beyond the Bigg Boss house, using humour and sarcasm to draw attention to the resurfaced video. The post also raises questions about the public and celebrity reactions to the controversy surrounding Qazi. Meanwhile, another video featuring YUNG DSA has been circulating online. The clip shows the rapper sharing the stage with singer AP Dhillon during the latters concert in Pune, bringing attention to his performance outside the reality show. For the unversed, YUNG DSA is a rapper from Pune who rose to fame with his song Yeda Yung. Also Read : Bigg Boss 20: Aamrapali Dubey says Mahhi Vij changes equations based on what works for her

India rejects China's objection to standard names for 28 Ladakh places
India on Tuesday rejected Beijing's objection to New Delhi announcing standard names of 28 places and features in Ladakh, asserting that the Union territory is an integral and inalienable part of the country. Last week, the Union home ministry assigned the standard names to the places and geographical features in Ladakh, including certain key border friction points along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) such as Gogra and Hot Spring. India's reaction came hours after China strongly opposed New Delhi assigning the standardised names. It is reiterated that the UT (Union Territory) of Ladakh is an integral and inalienable part of India. No amount of denial by the Chinese side can change this established fact, External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said. He said the press release by the Ministry of Home Affairs dated October 2 that China referred to, is self-explanatory. The announcement mentions that the 28 places/features located in the UT of Ladakh have been .
