7 people, including children and women, were killed in an Israeli aerial assault that struck a dwellings in the Mezzah region in Damascus. On Tuesday, Israel launched several missiles at a residential apartment in Damascus' heavily populated Mezzah district. The source added that efforts are underway to rescue people beneath the rubble. Israel has been committing war crimes against the Sovereign states for a long time. On September 1, 2024, Israel carried out direct strikes on the Iranian consulate building in Damascus, killing a large number of innocents, including diplomats and military generals, according to Syrian Foreign Minister Faisal Mekdad, who was seen visiting the site alongside Syria's Interior Minister. Scores of Syrians, Iranians and Lebanese have been killed as a result of Israel's airstrikes against Syria and Lebanon since 2011.
New Delhi, India
- After two passenger trains collided in the eastern Indian state of
Odisha, at least 305 persons were killed and around 900 were injured.
With many of the injured in critical condition,
emergency services fear the death toll could rise, BBC said.
The Coromandel Express, which departed from Kolkata in West Bengal to Chennai in Tamil Nadu, was traveling at
roughly 130 km/h when it collided with a stopped goods train and derailed at
around 7 p.m. on Friday.
The goods train allegedly
struck two Howrah Superfast Express train carriages that were moving in
opposition to it, causing a deadly tragedy, according to South Eastern
Railway.
After more than 12 hours of
rescue work, the government said early Saturday: "We are trying to find
any bodies that may still be trapped under the protective wall that
collapsed." The operation is still a few hours away.
"Transporting those who
are alive to hospitals is our primary objective as treating the living is the
main priority of the authorities," the prime minister of Odisha remarked.
Authorities said hundreds of
medical personnel, as well as the 80 who were already on the scene, had been
sent to the accident site in the Balasore region of Odisha, along with dozens
of ambulances.
A total of 850 people were sent
to the hospital.
The tragedy is believed to
be the country's deadliest rail disaster in over 20 years.
The Railways stated that an
inquiry into the event had begun.
Hundreds of young people lined
up outside the government hospital in Odisha's Soro district Friday to donate
blood.
The country declared Saturday
as a day of national mourning in honor of the deceased.
Additionally, the state govt
ordered an emergency at Civil Hospitals so that the injured might receive care.
The local police officer added
that the names of the deceased are yet to be ascertained.
