Global crude oil prices extended declines today amid hopes that the United States and Iran were nearing a peace deal.

In a statement, the Defence Ministry said that the modular range extension kit TARA is the country’s first indigenous glide weapon system that converts unguided warheads into precision-guided weapons.

The Ministry said that TARA has been designed and developed by the Research Centre Imarat+, Hyderabad, along with other DRDO laboratories.

It is aimed at enhancing the lethality and accuracy of a low-cost weapon to neutralise ground-based targets. It is the first glide weapon to utilise state-of-the-art low-cost systems.

The development of the kit has been undertaken with Development-cum-Production Partners (DcPPS) and other Indian industries, which have already started production activity.

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh has congratulated DRDO, IAF, DcPP, and the industry for the maiden flight trial. He described it as a significant development in advancing India’s indigenous defence capabilities.

According to the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), both sides discussed progress in trade, investment, energy, defence, fintech, health, education, culture, and people-to-people ties.

They also discussed ways to deepen cooperation and exchanged views on the regional situation and global issues of mutual interest.

It stated that both sides positively assessed the progress made on the decisions taken during the visit of the President of the United Arab Emirates, Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, to India in January 2026 and the visit of the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, in February 2026.

Mr Misri also took part in a trilateral meeting between India, France, and the United Arab Emirates in Abu Dhabi along with Reem Al Hashimy and Martin Briens, Secretary General of the Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs of France.

The Ministry of External Affairs said the three countries agreed to strengthen their partnership and work on a roadmap with clear timelines.

The meeting comes shortly after tensions in the region following attacks in the UAE’s Fujairah, which injured three Indian nationals. Prime Minister Narendra Modi strongly condemned the attacks, calling the targeting of civilians and infrastructure unacceptable.

He expressed India’s solidarity with the UAE and stressed the importance of resolving conflicts through dialogue and diplomacy.

The UAE has blamed Iran for the attacks and called them an unacceptable act of aggression. The Indian Embassy in the UAE said it is coordinating with local authorities to ensure medical care and support for the injured Indians.

 विकास खंड अंब के तहत पड़ती एक पंचायत से शादी से दो दिन पहले लापता हुए युवक और युवती को अंब पुलिस ने बुधवार देर रात लुधियाना से बरामद कर लिया। दोनों गुरुवार को कोर्ट मैरिज करने की तैयारी में थे। गुरुवार को थाना अंब में उस समय माहौल तनावपूर्ण हो गया, जब आरोपी युवक की पत्नी, अपने मायके पक्ष तथा युवती के परिजन आमने-सामने आ गए। इस दौरान शादीशुदा आरोपी की पत्नी का दर्द भी छलक उठा। पति की इस हरकत से आहत पत्नी ने भावुक होकर कहा, मेरे में क्या कमी थी और दूसरी तरफ क्या खूबी थी, जिस कारण तुम इस हद तक पहुंच गए। युवती के परिजनों ने भी युवक और उसके परिवार के खिलाफ नाराजगी जताई।

स्थिति को बिगड़ता देख पुलिस को हस्तक्षेप करना पड़ा। जानकारी के अनुसार गत पांच मई को युवती के परिजनों ने थाना अंब में शिकायत दर्ज करवाई थी कि एक युवक उसे बहला-फुसलाकर अपने साथ ले गया है। डीएसपी अंब अनिल पटियाल ने बताया कि युवती का मेडिकल करवाकर उसे परिजनों के सुपुर्द कर दिया है। आरोपी को अदालत में पेश कर पुलिस रिमांड पर लिया गया है।
