Russia has deployed its Iskander missile system in Kaliningrad, close to Poland’s border. Reports say the missile can strike Warsaw, Poland’s capital, in just 3 minutes. This comes hours after Russia was accused of invading Polish airspace. The Iskander-M is a short-range ballistic missile, often called one of Russia’s most dangerous weapons. Its placement so close to a NATO country has raised fresh security fears in Europe. Analysts warn the move could sharply increase tensions in the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war. NATO leaders are expected to meet and discuss possible responses to this growing military threat.

Opposition parties attacked the BJP government for allowing India to play Pakistan in the Asia Cup, accusing it of “choosing profit over blood.” Leaders said the decision insulted victims of the Pahalgam terror attack in April, where civilians were killed.

Shiv Sena (UBT) members burnt Pakistan’s flag, while Congress and AAP urged the public to boycott the match. The government has allowed play at multinational events but still bars bilateral matches.
