Heavy rains caused flooding in the Indian states of West Bengal and Madyha Pradesh. In West Bengal, 15 people were killed and many disappeared. In Madyha Pradesh, 200 villages were flooded and 600 people were evacuated. A bridge collapsed as a result of the opening of the Medikheda Dam gates, which was overfilled due to heavy rains.
Seven people linked to the opposition Armenian Revolutionary Federation (Dashnaktsutyun) were detained in anti-terror raids across Armenia. Authorities seized explosives, detonators, radios, and other materials in what they described as a foiled terrorist plot.
Armenia’s Investigative Committee stated that one suspect faces charges related to preparing a terrorist attack, and the investigation is ongoing. Local media say all detainees are members of the Dashnaktsutyun party.
The arrests follow the June 25 detention of Archbishop Bagrat Galstanyan, leader of the opposition “Holy Struggle” movement, which the government accuses of planning terrorist acts and a power grab. Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said security forces had stopped an attempt to destabilize the country.
