This directive aligns with similar actions by regulators in South Korea and the UAE, prompted by a 2018 FAA bulletin. Air India has already inspected half its Dreamliner fleet, finding no issues.

Houthi Attack DESTROYS British 'Magic Sea' Ship in Red Sea | Britain Dragged Into Red Sea War [Video]

Houthi Attack DESTROYS British 'Magic Sea' Ship in Red Sea | Britain Dragged Into Red Sea War

This exclusive new footage provides a chilling, firsthand look inside the bulk carrier 'Magic Sea' during a devastating attack by Houthi rebels in the Red Sea. The video captures the sheer panic as alarms blare and glass shatters from the impact of the strike, forcing the crew to abandon the ship just moments before it began to sink. This incident marks a significant escalation in the ongoing Red Sea crisis, which is severely disrupting global shipping routes. The Houthi group in Yemen officially claimed responsibility for the attack, stating they utilized a combination of unmanned boats, naval missiles, and drones. According to a statement by their spokesperson, the group alleges that the 'Magic Sea' had violated their ban on ships entering Israeli ports, which they refer to as "occupied ports." They further claimed that the ship's crew had been issued multiple warnings but failed to comply, leading to the direct strike. In the aftermath of the attack, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) confirmed a successful rescue operation. All 22 crew members and the security staff onboard the vessel were safely evacuated before the ship was completely lost. This attack is the latest in a series of aggressive actions by the Houthis against international maritime traffic, raising global concerns over the security of this critical waterway and the potential for a wider conflict in the Middle East. #RedSea #HouthiAttack #BreakingNews #WorldNews #OneindiaNews #Yemen #MiddleEastCrisis #GlobalShipping #MagicSea #Israel Also Read US and Iran-Backed Houthis Commit to Escalation Following Airstrikes Targeting Yemen Rebels :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-iran-backed-houthis-escalation-airstrikes-yemen-011-4096567.html?ref=DMDesc 17 People Missing After Tourist Yacht Sinks in Red Sea Following High Waves Warning :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/tourist-yacht-sinks-red-sea-17-missing-011-3998351.html?ref=DMDesc US Navy Continues Aircraft Carrier Presence in Red Sea to Counter Houthi Threats :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-navy-extends-aircraft-carrier-deployment-red-sea-011-3838877.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~GR.122~

Strait Of Hormuz In CHAOS: Three Ships Ablaze Near Strait Of Hormuz Amid Israel-Iran Conflict

Amid soaring Israel-Iran tensions, dramatic images on social media show three ships engulfed in flames off the Gulf of Oman near the critical Strait of Hormuz. While authenticity remains unverified, NASA’s FIRMS data also detected fires in the same zone. The area, a vital artery for global oil, has long been a flashpoint. No official Emirati response has surfaced yet. As Israel pounds Iran’s military sites, fears rise over possible retaliation through trade disruption, especially a blockade of Hormuz, which sees over 20 million barrels of oil pass daily. #IsraelIranTensions #StraitOfHormuz #GulfOfOmanFire #MiddleEastCrisis #OilTradeThreat #ShipFireGulf #HormuzBlockadeFears #FIRMSData #IranStrikeBack #IsraelIranWar #OilRouteAtRisk #GlobalOilSupply #MaritimeSecurity #TankerFirePhotos #UnverifiedImages #GeopoliticalFlashpoint #TehranVsTelAviv #HormuzCrisis #GulfMaritimeAlert #BreakingMiddleEast ~HT.318~ED.346~GR.125~

Explained: Why Donald Trump Is Worst President US Ever Had? Trump Behind New World War?

Donald Trump’s second term is now synonymous with diplomatic failure, global chaos, and domestic division. From the controversial closure of the Epstein case to inflaming the Israel-Iran conflict, Trump’s unpredictable policies have left even his allies in dismay. His sudden $300 million Ukraine aid after earlier cuts has confused NATO partners. Worse still, Trump’s tariffs on longtime allies like Canada, Japan, and South Korea have sparked economic retaliation, forcing countries to diversify away from the U.S. Critics say his leadership is built on instability and ego, not strategy. Meanwhile, top voices in his MAGA base are turning against him, furious over his handling of Epstein and repeated cabinet dysfunction. In this political storm, one question echoes louder than ever—is Donald Trump the worst president America has ever seen? #TrumpFailure #EpsteinCase #TariffWar #GlobalBacklash #TrumpChaos #AmericaAlone #IranConflict #UkraineAid #USIsolation #MAGARevolt #WorstPresidentEver #TradeCollapse #ForeignPolicyCrisis #EpsteinCoverUp #TariffsOnAllies #TrumpVsWorld #CanadaStrikesBack #UnstableLeadership #TrumpScandal #WorldLosingTrust #DonaldTrump

WW3 WARNING: Russia has openly backed North Korea’s nuclear weapons program, with Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov declaring support during a high-stakes visit to Wonsan.

Rubio Meets China's Wang Yi As Trump Tariffs IGNITE Asia Trade WAR | ASEAN Tensions EXPLODE | Video

In a high-stakes meeting amid growing trade hostilities, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio met Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi in Kuala Lumpur during the East Asia Summit. This marked Rubio's first Asia visit since taking office, aiming to reaffirm U.S. presence in the Indo-Pacific. However, Trump's sudden tariff offensive—slapping 25-40% duties on major Asian economies—has intensified regional friction. China condemned the U.S. move as "bullying behavior," warning nations against cutting Beijing from global supply chains. Rubio also discussed security and tech cooperation with Japanese, South Korean, and Southeast Asian leaders. While Rubio remained tight-lipped during the talks, Wang launched a blistering critique of U.S. policies. Meanwhile, ASEAN ministers voiced alarm over trade disruptions, signaling a tilt toward diversification. With deadlines looming and diplomacy on edge, the clash of giants over Asia’s future has just begun. #Rubio #WangYi #USChinaTensions #TradeWar #ASEAN #IndoPacific #TrumpTariffs #ChinaTrade #AsiaSummit #KualaLumpur #GlobalEconomy #MarcoRubio #ChinaPolicy #USForeignPolicy #TariffWar #BilateralTalks #Geopolitics #SupplyChain #EastAsiaSummit #WTO ~GR.124~HT.408~
