<p>A previously unknown blood group, named CRIB, has been identified in a 38-year-old woman from Kolar district, Karnataka.

<h2 id="content-id-1757786510166-3"><strong>Klyuchevskoy Volcano Erupts Following Major Seismic Activity</strong></h2>

<p>On July 30, 2025, the Kamchatka Peninsula in Russia experienced a powerful 8.8-magnitude earthquake, one of the strongest in the region since 1952. The quake triggered tsunami warnings across the Pacific, prompting evacuations in areas including Japan, Hawaii, and Russia. Despite initial fears, the tsunami waves remained smaller than anticipated, and the warnings were lifted within hours. The earthquake also led to the eruption of the Klyuchevskoy volcano, Eurasia's highest active volcano, which began emitting lava and ash. While the eruption was visually dramatic, it posed little immediate threat to populated areas. The region's preparedness and swift response helped prevent significant damage or casualties.</p>

<p>On Shaheedi Diwas, Prime Minister Narendra Modi honoured freedom fighter Udham Singh, referring to him as a timeless hero of India whose deep patriotism and fearless actions continue to inspire the nation. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh also remembered Udham Singh, praising his remarkable courage and the ultimate sacrifice he made for the country's freedom, which remains influential across generations.
