Missile remains found in Gaza refugee camp bear 'Made in India' label, claims Palestine news network
Gaza: An Israeli air attack on a UN-run school sheltering Palestinians in central Gaza's Nuseirat camp resulted in the death of at least 40 people, mainly women and children, as reported by Aljazeera.com.
Meanwhile, a video posted by Palestine-based 'Quds News Network' on the micro-blogging site 'X' alleges that the remains of a missile dropped by the Israeli air force bear a 'Made in India' label.
The news network on its post claimed, " 'Made in India' reads the label on the remains of a missile dropped by Israeli warplanes at a UN shelter in Nusseirat refugee camp last night."
The purported video, which has garnered around 323k views, shows the one filming it zooming in on a portion of the rocket displaying the word "India," while also stating, "This is its official sign."
According to Wikipedia, Quds News Network is a youth-run Palestine news network, established in 2011, covering the Israel-Gaza war. However, the authenticity of the video is yet to be ascertained.
Several users reacted on the post, a user @Abhijithnair98 opined that the opposition should demand a seize on supply of arms, "The opposition must demand for stopping arms supply to Israel," the user wrote.
Another user @laughingdragon2 wrote, "On the other hand, the UL is Underwriters Laboratory so it could be that component was made in India and the rest is some other workshop from an unknown source.....Well if you check shipping, Israel has delivered explosive materials to India."
The raid on Thursday occurred following the military's announcement of a new ground and air assault in several refugee camps in central Gaza.
The Palestinian news agency Wafa reported that thousands of displaced Palestinians were sheltering at al-Sardi school, associated with the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA), when it came under attack.
The Palestinian group Hamas, governing the Gaza Strip, condemned the predawn attack as a "horrible massacre."

Bengaluru (PTI): Karnataka's BioEconomy has reached USD 39.2 billion in 2025, marking strong growth from previous years and reaffirming the state's leadership position nationally, according to an official report released on Monday.
The Karnataka Innovation and Technology Society (KITS), under the Department of Electronics, IT, Biotechnology and Science & Technology, unveiled the Karnataka BioEconomy Report 2025 in collaboration with the Association of Biotechnology Led Enterprises.
The report that was released by IT Minister Priyank Kharge stated that the state contributes around 21 per cent of India's BioEconomy and accounts for over 10 per cent of Karnataka's GSDP.

According to the report, the BioEconomy has expanded from USD 31.0 billion in 2023, reflecting 26.5 per cent cumulative growth, and is now adding nearly USD 10 billion every quarter to the state's GDP.
BioPharma remains the anchor with over 40 per cent share (about USD 16.44 billion), driven by biologics, biosimilars, vaccines and diagnostics, it said.
"BioIndustrial biotechnology has emerged as the fastest-growing segment (about USD 11.46 billion, around 29 per cent share), led by fermentation-based industries, biofuels, enzymes and sustainable materials," the report stated.
BioServices accounts for about 25.8 per cent share, while BioAgri contributes to sustainable agriculture and input innovation, it added.
The report said BioEconomy growth is becoming increasingly multi-regional. While Bengaluru Urban accounts for about 54 per cent of the state's BioEconomy, Mysuru contributes around 8.7 per cent, while Belagavi and Dakshina Kannada together account for over 9 per cent. Northern districts remain the Agri-biotechnology belt.
As many as 218 new biotech startups were added in 2025, taking the cumulative total to 1,451 startups, with over 75 per cent focused on life sciences and health-tech. Bengaluru accounts for about 54 per cent of startups, it stated.
Between January 2024 and October 2025, the report stated that Karnataka attracted USD 1.14 billion across around 40 deals spanning BioPharma, MedTech, precision fermentation, digital health and AgriBio.
Minister Kharge said, "With our BioEconomy crossing USD 39 billion and contributing over 10 per cent to our GSDP, biotechnology is no longer confined to laboratories - it is now a central driver of economic growth, industrial innovation and societal impact."
He said that the state government's focus is on building a full-spectrum biomanufacturing economy by supporting deep-tech startups, strengthening innovation infrastructure, and ensuring that growth reaches beyond Bengaluru to every region of the state.
