“Work on Mangalyaan 2 has already started. The mission is being developed as envisioned and is expected to be completed between 2028 and 2030. Unlike its predecessor, Mangalyaan 2 is designed to land on Mars. Landing on Mars is considered easier than on the Moon due to its thin atmosphere, which allows the use of parachutes and motorized systems for a smoother descent. The spacecraft will take about 10 months to reach Mars and will be fully operated from Earth. With this mission, India will join the select group of 2–3 nations to have achieved a Mars landing.”

Russia has launched a massive wave of attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, Ukrainian officials said on Friday, leaving parts of Kyiv without power. The Kremlin appears to be reviving a familiar wartime tactic — depriving Ukrainians of electricity and heat ahead of the harsh winter months.

According to official reports and CNN’s assessment, Russia began targeting Ukraine’s energy network in late September, with near-daily strikes since then on power generation, gas production, and distribution facilities.

President Volodymyr Zelensky said that Russian forces have carried out around 1,550 strikes on energy infrastructure across the Chernihiv, Sumy, and Poltava regions, with about 160 of those successfully hitting their targets.

The IDF recently conducted strikes in southern Lebanon, targeting and dismantling Hezbollah terrorist infrastructure. The operation specifically focused on engineering equipment that was being used to rebuild Hezbollah’s military positions in the area, which the Israeli military described as a clear violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon.

According to the IDF, Hezbollah continues its efforts to reestablish terrorist infrastructure across Lebanon while cynically using civilians as human shields. The Israeli military emphasized that it will continue operations to eliminate any threats posed to the State of Israel and ensure the safety of its citizens.

The move is widely seen as Macron’s final attempt to revive his second term, which runs until 2027.
