Russian President Vladimir Putin is set to visit India this year, with preparations currently underway. However, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov stated that the specific month and date of the visit have yet to be finalized.

Lavrov highlighted that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s first foreign visit after his re-election was to Russia, and now it is Russia’s turn to reciprocate. This remark was made during a conference organized by the Russian International Affairs Council, focusing on Russia-India relations.

Putin’s last visit to India took place on December 6, 2021, when 28 agreements were signed between the two countries, covering areas like military cooperation and technology. This upcoming visit will be Putin’s first to India since the outbreak of the Ukraine war in February 2022.

Blast at militant compound in Pakistan kills 24

At least 24 people were killed in an explosion at a terrorist compound in the Tirah Valley of Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province on Monday, according to reports. The blast took place in a bomb-making factory run by Pakistani Taliban fighters. A local police official said at least 14 militants and about 10 civilians, including women and children, were killed in the blast. He said Pakistani Taliban commanders were living in the compound and were using it as a bomb-making factory. Since it was close to civilian residences, many houses were destroyed in the blast.
