UK Moves Military Assets to Middle East Amid Rising Iran-Israel Tensions

Chaos at Ahmedabad Medical College as Plane Crashes into Hostel Canteen

A catastrophic plane crash involving an Air India flight has claimed dozens of lives after the aircraft plunged into a doctors' hostel attached to BJ Medical College in Ahmedabad, India.

That calm was shattered by the sudden roar of approaching jet engines—followed by an explosion. Just seconds earlier, Flight AI171, a Boeing 787 Dreamliner bound for London with 242 people on board, had taken off from Ahmedabad airport, located just 1.5km away.
