No deaths or injuries have been reported by Saudi authorities. That is the official line. The pictures from the airport road tell a messier story: fire crews around an Aramco tank, flights delayed, and phones lighting up with the first air-raid alerts Riyadh has seen in this round of the war.

Who fired, what they hit, when it started, and why it matters now sit at the centre of a wider fight that already links Yemen, Iran, the Red Sea and Washington.

Houthis hit Riyadh: Saudi Arabia says it intercepted a Houthi ballistic missile targeting the capital as black smoke rose from an Aramco fuel depot near King Khalid International Airport.

SEB Computers 🤣

AI can drink all my water as long as it keeps roasting the Apple this well.

The newly released Duo is getting public attention in India but in a different way.

This AI-generated parody ad has no business being this funny, and somebody at Apple has definitely seen it by now.

DRAMATIC VISUALS COMING OUT OF MOSCOW

Ukraine fired more than 1,000 drones at Russia overnight, including hundreds toward Moscow, Russian officials said. Mayor Sergei Sobyanin called it the "largest ever" drone attack on the capital.

Two people were killed in the Moscow region.

The attacks came on the final day of Russia's parliamentary elections.

MOMENT WHEN UKRAINIAN DRONE HITS AN APARTMENT BUILDING IN MOSCOW - NIGHT BEFORE FINAL DAY OF RUSSIAN PARLIAMENTARY ELECTIONS

NYT, Reuters, Al Jazeera, DW, France24 - almost the same image.

Not the summit hall. Not the handshakes. But a man on a bicycle riding past the banner.

Out of hundreds of shots that day, this is the one they chose — because it matches what the world expects India to look like.

Every time India does something big globally, foreign media finds the SAME photo — a cyclist, a dusty road, a hand cart.

This week India hosted BRICS. 11 world leaders, Putin, Xi, leaders from Egypt, South Africa, all in one room.

Guess what photo they picked 👇

Pope quoting Shri Krishn from Bhagwadgita which predates Christianity by atleast a couple of millennia

Gita 2:47 कर्मण्येवाधिकारस्ते मा फलेषु कदाचन। मा कर्मफलहेतुर्भूर्मा ते सङ्गोऽस्त्वकर्मणि॥

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Do not be afraid to sow without immediately seeing the fruits. The sowing belongs to you; the growth belongs to God. No gesture carried out in the name of Christ is useless.
