Doha: In what can be touted as sharp escalation of tensions in West Asia, Iran on Monday reportedly launched six missiles targeting US military bases in Qatar, according to a report by Axios. The move comes in retaliation for American airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites over the weekend.

Eyewitnesses reported hearing loud explosions over the Qatari capital, Doha, shortly after the missile launches. Both Reuters and AFP cited local sources confirming the blasts.

There has been no immediate confirmation of casualties or damage from either US or Qatari officials.

Belthangady: A skeleton, allegedly buried as mentioned in the complaint related to the Dharmasthala mass burials case, has been exhumed and handed over to the Belthangady police. Pawan Deshpande, the lawyer representing the complainant, stated that all necessary legal procedures were followed and a formal statement was recorded before the judge.

The complainant, who has alleged the mass burial of bodies in Dharmasthala, appeared before the Principal Civil Judge and JMFC Court of Belthangady Taluk on July 11 to give his statement.

Speaking to the media after the court proceedings, advocate Pawan Deshpande said, “The complainant is prepared to clearly identify the locations where the bodies were buried. We will cooperate fully with the police on whatever date they set. Relevant information has already been submitted, and there is a concern that evidence could be destroyed. It is now the responsibility of the police to act and exhume the bodies as per the statement.”

When asked about the identity of the accused in the case, Deshpande clarified that the details have been submitted to the court and are with the investigating officer. “We do not have access to that information,” he said.

The lawyer also confirmed that the complainant has not been arrested or taken into police custody. “He is with us and will appear whenever the police direct him to. The complainant is cooperating with the investigation,” Deshpande added.
