The Indian Railways successfully conducted a trial run on the world’s highest steel arch rail bridge over the Chenab River in Jammu and Kashmir. The bridge, standing 359 meters above the riverbed, is a crucial part of the Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla Rail link (USBRL) project and is expected to connect Reasi district in Jammu to Kashmir via railway line.
Ukraine has utilized newly acquired long-range missiles, supplied covertly by the U.S., to strike targets in Russian-held Crimea, including a military base in Dzhankoy and Russian forces near Berdiansk. The deployment of these missiles raises concerns about the vulnerability of the strategic Crimean Bridge, a key supply route for Russian forces. The U.S.’s decision to provide ATACMS missiles follows Ukraine’s repeated requests for enhanced long-range capabilities to counter Russian aggression and protect its territory. The missiles, which have already been used to strike targets deep within Crimea, are part of a $300 million aid package announced in March.
