Three persons were killed and five others were injured when a private bus in which they were travelling rammed into a container truck in Telangana’s Mahabubnagar district on Monday.

According to police, the accident occurred on National Highway 44 near Katavaram in Addakula mandal early morning.

The bus, belonging to a private travel operator, hit the container truck from behind. The collision resulted in the death of three persons on the spot, while five others were grievously injured.

A person was killed in a powerful explosion that ripped through a rented house in Keezhara of Kerala's Kannur district on Saturday, leaving the entire village in shock.

The body parts were found scattered in the debris, and several nearby homes sustained damage.

Initial investigations suggest that the blast occurred during the making of country-made bombs, though some reports claim that firecracker-making was being cited to mask the illegal activity.
