Officials said Cyclone Arnab crossed the Andhra Pradesh coast early Wednesday, following preparations that moved tens of thousands of people away from exposed areas. The landfall creates an urgent risk of destructive winds, flooding and disruption across coastal communities, while authorities assess damage and continue emergency operations. Other major stories include Israel’s general election and renewed regional tensions involving Iran-backed Houthi forces, but current reporting identifies the cyclone as the clearest immediate mass-casualty and humanitarian threat.
