Russia Launches Major Missile and Drone Assault on Ukraine, US Authorizes Long-Range Missiles

Russia has launched one of its most intense missile and drone offensives on Ukraine in recent months, resulting in significant casualties and widespread damage to vital infrastructure. The multi-pronged attack targeted residential buildings, energy facilities, and other key locations, deepening the ongoing humanitarian crisis.

In northern Ukraine’s Sumy region, a missile strike on a nine-story residential building tragically killed at least eight people, including two children, and left dozens more injured. The attack prompted a mass evacuation of more than 400 residents, while emergency services continued to search through the rubble. Ukrainian Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko called the attack “a great tragedy,” as the country grapples with the ongoing toll of the war.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported that the assault involved a combination of 120 missiles and 90 drones, including Iranian-made Shahed drones, as well as cruise and ballistic missiles. Despite Ukraine’s air defense systems intercepting a significant number of these threats—144 out of 210—the damage to the country’s energy infrastructure was severe.

Key cities, including Odesa, reported power outages, while a drone strike in Mykolaiv damaged the energy sector, killing two people and injuring several others, including children.

Oleh Kiper, the governor of Odesa, confirmed that the attack killed two Ukrenergo energy workers.

A missile strike hit Kyiv, prompting Zelenskyy to urge Western air defense support as the U.S. approved Ukraine’s long-range missiles. In response, President Zelenskyy emphasized that such strikes would speak for themselves, underscoring Ukraine’s resolve to defend its sovereignty.

Russia targeted Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, while Ukraine’s drone strikes hit Russian regions, escalating the war with rising civilian casualties.

The seniors summoned the students to specific hostel blocks around 9 PM through a WhatsApp group and made them introduce themselves while enduring prolonged harassment.

Anil’s classmates, speaking anonymously, confirmed that third-year students orchestrated the ragging.

They claimed that Anil’s death followed his collapse after hours of standing. His family has demanded a fair and transparent investigation into the incident.

College authorities and police have launched investigations into a fatal ragging incident, raising concerns about its persistence despite strict laws.Authorities have vowed to ensure justice for Anil Methaniya and prevent such occurrences in the future.

Sharad Pawar Criticizes BJP’s Polarizing ‘Vote Jihad’ Narrative in Maharashtra Elections

MUMBAI: Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Sharad Pawar has sharply criticized Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis for introducing the controversial term “Vote Jihad” during the ongoing Maharashtra Assembly elections. Pawar alleged that the BJP is using this rhetoric to polarize voters and create divisions within society, a tactic he deems detrimental to the state’s social fabric.

The Context Behind ‘Vote Jihad’
The term “Vote Jihad” was reportedly first used by Fadnavis in October, suggesting that certain political groups manipulate elections through communal mobilization. He recently reiterated this claim, citing the BJP’s defeat in the Malegaon constituency as an example, where he alleged a lack of Hindu unity cost the party a victory. Fadnavis further stated that the upcoming elections are an opportunity for “dharma-yuddha” (a righteous war) to counter such tactics.

Pawar’s Counterarguments
Sharad Pawar dismissed these allegations, asserting that the BJP’s focus on divisive issues detracts from addressing real problems like unemployment, farmer distress, and infrastructure deficits. Speaking to the press, Pawar emphasized that Maharashtra’s electorate would not be swayed by communal narratives and urged voters to prioritize development and governance over identity politics.

BJP’s Defense and Promises
The BJP, however, has doubled down on its narrative, with leaders like Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath supporting Fadnavis’s claims. They argue that the BJP is safeguarding the state’s integrity and cultural identity. The party has also unveiled ambitious development plans, including a ₹1,600-crore water pipeline project, expansion of Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar Airport, and promises for a sports university if they retain power.

Political Implications
With less than a week left before the elections, the “Vote Jihad” controversy has become a significant talking point, with opposition parties like Shiv Sena (UBT) and Congress condemning the BJP’s tactics as fear-mongering. Observers suggest that this strategy may backfire, as Maharashtra’s voters are known for prioritizing inclusivity and progress.

CBDT Initiates Compliance Campaign to Enhance Taxpayer Awareness for AY 2024-25

Aiming for Transparency in Foreign Income Reporting

NEW DELHI: The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has launched a Compliance-Cum-Awareness Campaign for Assessment Year (AY) 2024-25. The initiative focuses on guiding taxpayers in accurately disclosing foreign assets and income in their Income Tax Returns (ITR). This measure aligns with the Black Money (Undisclosed Foreign Income and Assets) and Imposition of Tax Act, 2015, which mandates full transparency in reporting foreign financial interests.

Key Features of the Campaign
To ensure compliance, the campaign uses technology-driven approaches, including:
– Automated Notifications: Informational SMS and emails are being sent to taxpayers suspected of underreporting foreign assets or income.
– Data Sharing Agreements: Information is derived from bilateral and multilateral agreements, especially through the Automatic Exchange of Information (AEOI).
– Focus on High-Value Disclosures: Special emphasis is placed on cases involving high-value foreign holdings to encourage full compliance with Schedule Foreign Assets (Schedule FA) and Schedule Foreign Source Income (Schedule FSI).

Extended Deadlines and Technological Integration
The campaign coincides with the recent extension of the ITR filing deadline to November 15, 2024, allowing more time for accurate disclosures. Leveraging data analytics, the CBDT aims to foster a transparent and taxpayer-friendly compliance ecosystem, aligning with the vision of ” Viksit Bharat “ or ” Developed India.”

Resources for Taxpayers
Taxpayers are encouraged to use the resources available on the Income Tax Department’s website ([www.incometax.gov.in](https://www.incometax.gov.in)) for detailed guidance. This includes step-by-step instructions on completing Schedule FA, ensuring clarity and accuracy in reporting foreign income and assets.
