India’s Newest Russia-built Warship To Reach Country in

• INS Tushil, the country’s latest stealth missile frigate that was commissioned
into the Indian Navy at the Yantar Shipyard in Kaliningrad, Russia on December
9, is expected to reach the country’s western coast in mid-February.
• It will be a part of the Mumbai-based Western Fleet.
• Tushil (or the protector shield) is an upgraded Krivak III class frigate of Project
1135.6, and six such vessels are already in service --- three Talwar class ships,
built at Baltic shipyard in St Petersburg, and three follow-on Teg class ships, built
at the Yantar shipyard.
Azerbaijan President Says Plane That Crashed Was Shot At
From Russia
• The Azerbaijan Airlines plane that crashed in Kazakhstan this week killing 38
people, was damaged due to a shooting from the ground in Russia, the
Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev said on Sunday.
• He also accused Moscow of having tried to hide the cause of a deadly jet crash
and called for Russia to admit "guilt" in the disaster.
• Flight J2-8243 crashed on Wednesday near the city of Aktau in Kazakhstan,
leading to the death of 38 people out of the 67 passengers.
• Initially, it was assumed that the airplane lost control due to a bird strike or
dense fog.
• The White House on Friday stated that it had received initial indications
suggesting the airliner may have been downed by Russian air defense systems
and added that it had offered assistance in the investigation into the crash. The
UK has also asked for an independent probe into the matter.
Israel Used THAAD Air Defence System To Take Down
Houthi Missile
• An advanced U.S. military anti-missile system was used in Israel to try to
intercept a projectile for the first time since President Joe Biden placed the
system in Israel in October, a source familiar with the matter has stated.
• The Terminal High Altitude Area Defence (THAAD) system was used to try to
intercept a projectile from Yemen sometime last week, and an analysis would
determine its success, said the source who spoke on condition of anonymity.
• Israel struck multiple targets linked to the Iran-aligned Houthi movement in
Yemen on Thursday, including Sanaa International Airport, and Houthi media
said at least six people were killed.
• The United Nations says more than half Yemen’s population – some 18 million
people – need humanitarian help. Harneis told reporters that is expected to rise
to 19 million next year due to worsening economic conditions in the country.
Afghan Taliban hit 'multiple posts' in Pakistan in response
to airstrikes
• Afghan Taliban forces targeted multiple posts inside Pakistan near the border in
retaliation for last week's deadly airstrikes, the Afghanistan Defence Ministry
said. However, details about casualties or the nature of the strikes remain
unclear.
• The Afghan officials also did not explicitly mention the locations of the strike but
said it occurred "beyond the 'hypothetical line'", a term Afghan authorities use
to describe the disputed border with Pakistan.
• On December 24, Pakistan launched a series of airstrikes targeting the training
facilities of insurgents in Afghanistan's Paktika province. Taliban officials claimed
the attack killed at least 46 people, mostly women and children, and vowed to
retaliate.
• Afghanistan has long contested the Durand Line, a border demarcated by the
British in the 19th century, cutting through the rugged and often ungoverned
tribal regions that now separate Afghanistan and Pakistan. Pakistani officials
have accused the Taliban of not doing enough to combat cross-border militant
activity, a charge the Taliban government denies.
• The Durand Line also known as the Afghanistan–Pakistan border, is a 2,640-
kilometre (1,640 mi) international border between Afghanistan and Pakistan in
South Asia. The western end runs to the border with Iran and the eastern end to
the border with China.
