just now (262+ words) 15 Islamic State weapons caches in southern Syria were destroyed The US military, in conjunction with Syrian forces, has announced the destruction of 15 Islamic State weapons caches in southern Syria. Operations conducted between 24 and 27 November involved a series of airstrikes and ground detonations across the Rif Damashq province. US Central Command (CENTCOM) confirmed that the combined effort eliminated "over 130 mortars and rockets, multiple assault rifles, machine guns, anti-tank mines, and materials for building improvised explosive devices."

Admiral Brad Cooper, CENTCOM commander, said on Sunday the operation "ensures gains made against ISIS are lasting." U.S. President Donald Trump vowed to do everything he could to make Syria…...

just now (479+ words) Chelsea were down to 10 men but it is Arsenal that will receive a fine for their conduct after the 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge on Sunday. The feisty London derby ended level after Trevoh Chalobah put the home side ahead and Mikel Merino equalised for the visitors. Both goals came in the second half after a red card for Blues midfielder Moises Caicedo before the interval.

Other than Caicedo's red, Chelsea only received one other card in the match, with Marc Cucurella picking up a booking. In contrast, six Arsenal players were shown yellow cards and that is set to hit the club in the pocket. FA rules dictate that if a team receives six or more…...

1+ min ago (294+ words) India could reduce its imports of Russian crude oil by 50%, a former foreign minister in New Delhi told local media, noting that both India and Russia would nevertheless look for ways to go around U.S. sanctions to keep some oil flowing. "We will be gradually reducing oil purchases from Russia'Already there is a reduction, and there'll be more reduction. It will be more like a 50 per cent reduction. But some oil will still come," Kanwal Sibal said, as quoted by Business Today. "On oil purchases, certainly we will have to diversify because our companies, both public and private sector and our banks will be loath to attract US sanctions and therefore there will be a steady fall in our orders. Though some oil will still flow through the spot market but it will be much-reduced volumes. Russia also understands that," Sibal…...

1+ min ago (317+ words) There are three things in life that are certain. Death, taxes and Coventry City scoring a bucket of goals. Saturday's 3-1 victory over Charlton Athletic was the 10th game this season where the Sky Blues had three goals or more in a game. They have now bagged 50 in the league and it puts them ahead of some great names. No other side in most of Europe's active professional leagues has reached that target yet. Bayern Munich and PSV come close on 44, but no-one else in England's top four divisions are near them. The only team that can boast better is The New Saints in Wales, with 53 goals from the same number of league games. It is a true testament to the amazing turnaround the fans of Coventry have witnessed since Frank Lampard took on their side a year ago last week. Seven-goal…...

Governments are not only replenishing ammunition and missile stocks but also accelerating investment in missiles, air defence, space and autonomous systems. This year, geopolitics and policy have driven tangible spending decisions, and investors have rewarded companies that convert that demand into bookable orders and reliable execution. That said, program risk and supply-chain friction remain real constraints, so the sector's winners this year will need to prove they can sustain margin and gains into 2026....

1+ min ago (180+ words) Mumbai, Dec 1 (PTI) In a swipe at the Mahayuti government, the Shiv Sena (UBT) on Monday described the postponement of the December 2 polling in some local bodies as a political arrangement intended to get more time for future elections and aided by the poll body.
