Sputnik International https://sputniknews.com/india/202009101080416095-major-tragedy-averted-as-indian-security-forces-detect-ied-in-kashmir/ Last month, Indian security agencies were put on high alert after intel regarding a possible terror attack. Following the high alert, the forces have busted several terrorist hideouts and even prevented IED blasts. Indian security forces on Thursday morning detected an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) in Jammu and Kashmir’s Baramulla district, officials said. They said that a major tragedy was averted by the timely detection of the IED by a road-opening party of local police and the Indian Army’s 32 Rashtriya Rifles in the Chatloor area on Baramulla-Handwara Road.

Earlier this week, Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei expressed his gratitude to the nation’s air defence troops, saying the Islamic Republic “owes its security” to their continued “preparedness and wakefulness” in the face of regional and global threats. Iran’s new radar systems are capable of detecting and destroying objects of ‘any size’ if they violate the country’s airspace, Alireza Sabahifard, commander of Iran’s Air Defence Force has said. Speaking at an exhibition of over two dozen ‘salient achievements’ of the air defence forces on Wednesday, the commander said that “today, we have the ability to identify any drones in the sky […]
After a decade of research and development, a new blood test has been produced which can detect five types of cancer years before currently available tests can, greatly increasing the future survivability of patients. The creators of the test, dubbed PanSeer, caution that it is unlikely to predict cancer, but can warn asymptomatic people of cancerous growths far earlier than current methods allow. The new test is based on a biological process called DNA methylation analysis, which hunts down specific DNA signatures that correspond to different forms of cancer, including in the stomach, esophagus, colon, lungs and liver.

Similar emissions have now for the first time been spotted surrounding the Red Planet. The European Space Agency’s ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO), circling the planet since 2016, has detected a glowing green oxygen aura in the Martian atmosphere for the first time, the agency said in a Monday statement. The emission ring, […]
