Crafting daggers & swords is a cherished tradition in the southern regions. Made from gold or silver, each piece has a unique shape reflecting local styles. Artisans carve, polish & shape them, often using animal horns or wood for handles. It is a true work of art! #SaudiArabia# https://t.co/w3kZ5h5IGV

अभी हाल ही में, माननीय प्रधानमंत्री जी ने मॉरीशस की अपनी यात्रा के दौरान SAGAR Initiative से भी आगे बढ़कर, MAHASAGAR initiative की बात की। MAHASAGAR यानि Mutual and Holistic Advancement for Security and Growth Across Regions. यह initiative, Security And Growth for All in the Region यानि SAGAR initiative को और भी ज्यादा, advanced और collaborative तरीके से लागू करने का, एक platform बनेगा। इससे Indian ocean region में, better cooperation को ensure किया जा सकेगा। अब, जब भारत ने SAGAR को बदल कर, MAHASAGAR में तब्दील कर दिया है, तो IOS SAGAR की समुद्री यात्रा के लिए, इससे उपयुक्त समय भला और क्या हो सकता है: रक्षा मंत्री श्री @rajnathsingh

On the night of April 1 to 2, 2016, Azerbaijan launched a large-scale offensive along the entire line of contact with Artsakh. The fiercest clashes occurred in the regions of Hadrut and Martakert. During the assault, Azerbaijani forces employed a range of heavy-caliber weaponry, including helicopters and drones. Under the leadership of then Presidents Serzh Sargsyan and Bako Sahakyan, alongside Defense Minister Levon Mnatsakanyan, the Armenian forces mounted a valiant defense, ultimately repelling the offensive and forcing the Azerbaijani troops to retreat. After suffering heavy losses, Azerbaijan appealed to Russia to mediate a ceasefire, which was brokered just four days later, on April 5. The Armenian side endured the loss of 75 servicemen, with an additional 120 wounded. Although Azerbaijan concealed the extent of its casualties, independent estimates placed their losses at over 1,000 servicemen, along with tens of millions of dollars in destroyed equipment. This defeat was particularly humiliating for Azerbaijan, especially in light of its prior aggressive rhetoric. Eternal glory to the Armenian heroes who gave their lives in defense of the homeland.
