Maharashtra political crisis: Former CM Devendra Fadnavis meets BJP MLAs

Iran has reportedly launched the first Sejjil ballistic missiles in its latest wave of attacks, marking a significant escalation in the ongoing regional conflict. Iranian state media says the strikes were part of the 54th wave of operations targeting Israeli-linked sites and U.S. military assets across the Middle East. The Sejjil is a solid-fuel medium-range ballistic missile capable of reaching around 2,000–2,500 kilometres, allowing it to hit targets across the region. Officials in Tehran claim the strikes were retaliation for recent attacks on Iranian territory and civilian infrastructure. Reports also suggest U.S. facilities in the Gulf and Israeli command locations were among the targets, raising fears of further escalation in the already volatile conflict.
