Tel Aviv/Tehran: Iran launched a fresh wave of ballistic missiles targeting multiple locations in Israel on Sunday, hours after the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) reportedly struck several areas across Tehran, including the headquarters of Iran’s Intelligence Ministry.

According to preliminary reports, Iran's latest missile attack — its third wave in less than 24 hours — targeted high-profile sites including Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s family residence in Caesarea and the Hadera power plant. While there is no official confirmation yet on the extent of damage or casualties, the situation remains tense across the region.

The first two rounds of missile and drone attacks by Iran took place overnight, sending air-raid sirens across several Israeli cities and prompting the activation of missile defence systems. Sunday’s third wave appeared to be in direct retaliation to the IDF’s alleged strikes deep inside Iranian territory earlier in the day.

Israeli military officials have not commented in detail about the strikes inside Iran, but sources claimed the IDF targeted key government and intelligence installations in the heart of Tehran.

Chikkamagaluru: Around 150 families from the Shillekytha fishing community (Scheduled Caste) in Menasuru Ravuru Camp, located near the backwaters of the Bhadra River in NR Pura Taluk, have reportedly been living without a burial ground for nearly two decades.

As a result, they are forced to bury their dead in an islet located a few kilometers away, often using traditional coracles to transport the bodies for the last rites, as reported by The New Indian Express on Friday.

One community member shared the struggles they face, particularly during the monsoon season. “We find water as we start digging a pit. We cover the pit with leaves to prevent water from seeping in before burying the body there,” TNIE quoted him as saying.

During summer months, when the Bhadra backwaters recede, the community members resort to burying bodies along the shore. However, even these temporary solutions come with their own challenges. In some cases, families have had to reuse burial spots where previous bodies were laid to rest.

Repeated appeals to local authorities, including the gram panchayat, taluk administration, local MLA, and other elected representatives, for a burial ground, housing, electricity, and other basic amenities have reportedly gone unanswered.

Meanwhile, a local leader stated that the members of the Shillekytha fishing community are nomads, frequently moving from place to place. He added that this nomadic lifestyle is the reason why the community has been deprived of basic amenities, including access to a burial ground and essential services.
