Pakistan Used Spies and Sleeper Cells to Locate India's S-400 Systems: Military Claim

A military official has alleged that Pakistan deployed spies and activated sleeper cells in an attempt to locate India's S-400 air defence systems. The effort reportedly involved satellite support and electronic warfare assistance from foreign nations. During Operation Sindoor, the S-400 demonstrated its long-range capability by intercepting a large Pakistani aircraft at a distance exceeding 300 kilometres. The system's performance has underscored its strategic importance to India's air defence architecture. India has since received additional S-400 deliveries, further strengthening its aerial defence network.

UK Allows Plug-In Solar Panels Up to 800W in Homes Under New Rules

The UK has introduced new regulations permitting households to use plug-in solar kits of up to 800 watts via standard electrical sockets. The change makes renewable energy more accessible to renters and flat owners who previously had limited solar options. These systems are expected to generate significant annual savings on electricity bills for users. Safety standards have been built into the regulations to ensure secure connections and reduce electrical hazards. The move responds to growing demand for affordable, home-based solar energy solutions across Great Britain.
