The Indian Navy successfully rescued 21 crew members, including 15 Indians, from the Liberian-flagged merchant vessel MV Lila Norfolk after an attempted hijack in the Arabian Sea. The crew had sent a distress call, reporting the boarding of armed personnel, which led to the deployment of the warship INS Chennai and a naval aircraft to intercept the vessel. No pirates were found on board during the "sanitisation" operations. This incident comes amid a recent increase in piracy attacks in the region, prompting heightened surveillance by the Indian Navy.

"Chinese Spy Balloon Navigated US Using American Internet Provider: Report"
A Chinese spy balloon that traversed US airspace utilized a US-based internet service provider to navigate and communicate with China. US intelligence officials, who were tracking the balloon named Killeen-23, obtained a court order to surveil it and gathered intelligence, including messages sent to and from China. The balloon, which China claimed was for meteorological purposes, was shot down by the US Air Force off the coast of South Carolina. It had been sending real-time intelligence about US military sites to Beijing and was equipped with American technology, possibly including synthetic aperture radar for high-resolution imaging. The incident has raised concerns about cybersecurity and espionage between the US and China.
