When two wars meet at lake: Ukraine’s strike in Caspian Sea and the Iran-Russia angle

Published by Parlour News

Two active wars intersected directly for the first time last Saturday, when a Ukrainian drone strike in the Caspian Sea drew Tehran into a diplomatic quarrel with Kyiv and turned the spotlight on a lake that has quietly become a key waterway for allies Russia and Iran. File photo of navy ships of Iran and Azerbaijan during an exercise, in the Caspian Sea (Iranian army/WANA via Reuters) Tehran said Ukraine’s attack on an Iranian vessel killed one sailor and injured others. Kyiv said its long-range strikes had hit vessels used to move military cargo between Iran and Russia, as well as a Russian warship. Tehran called the attack “hostile and criminal”, summoned Ukraine’s chargé d’affaires, and warned of “unforeseen” consequences. Ukraine dismissed the threats as “unjustified and groundless”. Russia’s spokesperson Dmitry Peskov, backing Tehran, said the strike should be considered an assault on Iran itself. The exchange pivoted focus on the Caspian Sea — a landlocked stretch of water more than 1,500km from Kyiv, bordered by Russia and Iran among others — and on the …

Lionel Messi statue to be relocated amid safety concerns; dismantling work begins in Kolkata’s Lake Town | Kolkata News

Published by Parlour News

2 min readJun 1, 2026 12:46 PM IST Preparations began on Monday to dismantle and relocate the towering statue of football legend Lionel Messi in Kolkata’s Lake Town after authorities declared the structure a potential public safety hazard. Engineers and workers were seen carrying out preliminary operations at the site along the busy VIP Road corridor, where the 70-foot statue was installed just five months ago. This move comes after complaints from local residents that the massive structure appeared to sway during strong winds, raising concerns about its stability. According to officials, the relocation process will be carried out in multiple stages to ensure safety. Heavy-duty cables will first be attached to secure the statue, following which a 40-tonne crane will hold the structure firmly in place. Workers will then carefully cut the iron framework near the statue’s leg supports, enabling the entire structure to be lifted and removed in one piece. The decision to shift the statue was taken by the Public Works Department (PWD) after reports of visible movement during recent spells of …

Pipeline under repair, heatwave: Hundreds of fish dead in Sanjay Lake as water recedes | Delhi News

Pipeline under repair, heatwave: Hundreds of fish dead in Sanjay Lake as water recedes | Delhi News

Published by Parlour News

As Delhi reeled under its fourth straight day of heatwave conditions, Sanjay Lake in East Delhi’s Trilokpuri on Thursday turned into a fish graveyard – hundreds of fish floated belly-up in shallow green pools, ducks waded through black slush and large stretches of the lake bed lay cracked dry. The deaths came amid rapidly receding water levels at the lake, with officials attributing the situation partly to a critical pipeline supplying treated water from Kondli sewage treatment plant (STP) to the lake developing leakages and remaining under repair. Officials also said the prolonged heatwave may have reduced oxygen levels in already stagnant water. “The ongoing heatwave has only worsened the crisis,” a government official said. The carcasses included small Gambusia or mosquitofish, along with larger tilapia- or carp-like freshwater species. In a written response to The Indian Express, the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) said the artificial lake spreads across nearly 187 acres, including a 52.53-acre lake area maintained by it. The lake is also a notified protected forest under the Delhi Forest department. It added …
