YSRCP leader's house vandalised, set on fire in Andhra
Ibrahimpatnam (Andhra Pradesh) (PTI): The house of former minister and YSRCP Jogi Ramesh was allegedly vandalised and set on fire here in NTR district on Sunday.
The incident came a day after the party claimed of a murder attempt on senior YSRCP leader Ambati Rambabu.
High drama unfolded at Ibrahimpatnam for several hours where dozens of people were seen ransacking the Ramesh's house and setting parts of it on fire, according to footage aired on vernacular news channels.
Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) West Zone Durga Rao confirming the attack to PTI said that no arrests have been made so far.
The ACP further said that police are bringing the situation under control.
Meanwhile, the YS Jagan Mohan Reddy-led YSRCP alleged that the incident triggered panic in the locality as household articles were damaged and the premises were left vandalised following the incident.
YSRCP alleged that Ramesh, a prominent BC leader, was deliberately targeted and claimed that the incident reflected a complete breakdown of law and order in Andhra Pradesh.
Back-to-back attacks on former ministers within two days indicate a pattern of political intimidation against opposition leaders, the opposition party added.

US rules out use of nuclear weapons against Iran
Washington DC: The White House has reportedly ruled out the use of nuclear weapons against Iran, even as uncertainty continues over ongoing peace negotiations and a deadline set by US President Donald Trump approaches.
Issues bout a possible escalation had increased after US Vice President JD Vance said that the United States has “tools in our toolkit that we so far haven’t decided to use” in dealing with Iran.
His remarks came amid rising tensions and ahead of a deadline linked to peace efforts.
The situation has attracted attention as Trump warned Iran that its “whole civilization will die tonight tonight” if an agreement is not reached by Tuesday at 8 pm.
This statement led to speculation about the possibility of extreme military measures, including a nuclear strike.
Following Vance’s comments, the White House issued a clarification distancing itself from such interpretations. In a post on X, it said, "Literally nothing @VP said here 'implies' this, you absolute buffoons." In a later statement, it added that “only the president knows” what action will be taken regarding Iran.
