'Meanwhile in Lebanon': Missiles above, music below as Beirut party goes viral
Amidst escalation between Israel and Iran, Lebanon presented an unusual contrast. Social media footage revealed a peculiar scene from a Beirut rooftop bar, where revellers continue their festivities whilst missiles traverse the night sky. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The viral X video captures a trumpeter performing at a hotel as patrons, abandoning their meals, stand to record the events on their mobile phones. A DJ maintains the musical atmosphere throughout. One video displays the text "Meanwhile in Lebanon". Another video showed the night sky full of missiles from a wedding event inn Lebanon. This stark juxtaposition follows Israel's 'Operation Rising Lion' on June 13, which involved extensive aerial strikes on Iran. The campaign affected nuclear installations at Natanz, Fordow, and Esfahan, along with missile facilities, air defence networks, Tehran's defence ministry headquarters, and vital energy structures. Israel says it launched its airstrike campaign to stop Iran from getting closer to being able to build a nuclear weapon. Iran and the United States had been negotiating over the possibility of a new diplomatic deal over Tehran's program, though Trump has said Israel's campaign came after a 60-day window he set for the talks. Iran's supreme leader rejected US calls for surrender Wednesday and warned that any military involvement by the Americans would cause 'irreparable damage to them.'

Amusement park horror: Octopus ride seat snaps mid-spin in Maharashtra; one killed
A day of leisure at an amusement park turned tragic on Wednesday after a ride malfunctioned at Sayajiraje Park in Maharashtra's Solapur district, claiming the life of a 35-year-old man and leaving another seriously injured. According to a report by Times of India, Tushar Dhumal, a resident of Bhigwan in Pune district, died after one of the arms of the octopus-themed ride suddenly detached while operating at high speed. His friend, Vaibhav Rupnavar (30), suffered a serious head injury and underwent surgery at a private hospital in Akluj on Thursday morning. According to police, the octopus ride, designed with multiple rotating arms, each fitted with four seats, was operating at full velocity when one of the arms broke away, the report added. A tourist captured the aftermath on video, showing bystanders and what appeared to be family members rushing to the scene to help.

The group was occupying all four seats on one of the ride's arms at the time of the incident. Both victims were taken to a nearby private hospital, where Dhumal was declared dead due to severe head trauma. Rupnavar remains under medical care for a critical head injury. Following the incident, Tushar Dhumal's brother, Abhijeet Dhumal, lodged a complaint with Akluj police, alleging negligence and poor maintenance by the park's management. He also stated that the ride operator had increased the speed beyond safe limits, contributing to the failure, the report further added. Based on the complaint, police registered an FIR against the park's manager, ride operator, and staff under sections 106(1) (causing death by negligence), 125(A) (acts endangering life or personal safety of others), 125(B) (rash or negligent act causing grievous hurt), and 3(5) (act causing wrongful loss to others) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
