The death toll from a batch of toxic illegal alcohol in India has risen to 53, media reported Sunday, as more victims in hospital succumbed to the poisonous brew. Tamil Nadu state Chief Minister M.K. Stalin has said the locally brewed arrack drink was laced with poisonous methanol, killing 37 within hours after they drank the illegal alcohol on Tuesday. More than 100 people were rushed to hospital, but some were too sick for medics to save. An AFP photographer, who had visited the hard-hit Kallakurichi district during the first wave of deaths, reported how the sky was darkened by plumes of smoke that rose from dotted funeral pyres, as wailing relatives gathered to mourn. Hundreds of people die every year in India from cheap alcohol made in backstreet distilleries, but this poisoning is one of the worst in recent years. To increase its potency, the liquor is often spiked with methanol which can cause blindness, liver damage and death. The Indian Express newspaper on Sunday quoted a local councillor, Palraj, describing how poor labourers in Kallakurichi district regularly bought the liquor in plastic bags costing 60 rupees ($0.70), which they would drink before work. Some went blind and were rushed to hospital. Others died rapidly, collapsing in the street. - 'Work just to drink' - «The men work just to drink, and the women run the family», motorised rickshaw driver Shankar, who lives on a street where 23 people died, told the Indian Express. M.S. Prasanth, the top government official in the state's Kallakurichi district, said «53 people have passed away», according to the latest figures on Saturday, the Press Trust of India (PTI) news agency reported. Other Indian media on Sunday put the toll as high as 56, but there was no immediate response from police, medics or local government officials. Political rivals in the state have apportioned blame on each other for the tragedy. Prasanth said that seven people had been arrested in connection with the «spurious liquor tragedy», PTI added. Tamil Nadu is not a dry state, but liquor traded on the black market comes at a lower price than alcohol sold legally. The Indian Express also spoke to Kolanji, a domestic helper whose husband died on Thursday after drinking a packet of the tainted brew. She said people drank the moonshine «because they cannot afford» alcohol from the government-run shops. «They start buying packets early in the morning,» she said. Another local resident, M. Murugesan, 48, from Karunapuram, told The Times of India how most of the victims were «daily wage workers» including farm labourers. «They were breadwinners of their families, which will now struggle to make ends meet», Murugesan said, the paper reported. Selling and consuming liquor is prohibited in several other parts of India, further driving the thriving black market for potent and sometimes lethal backstreet moonshine. Last year, poisonous alcohol killed at least 27 people in one sitting in the eastern Indian state of Bihar, while in 2022, at least 42 people died in Gujarat. © Agence France-Presse

Russia on Sunday said the United States had responsibility for a Ukrainian missile attack on Russian-annexed Crimea, which it said killed four people, including two children, and wounded over 100. A missile exploded above a beach area of the city of Sevastopol, firing shrapnel at people relaxing there, Russian-appointed officials said. Russia's defence ministry said Washington and Kyiv bore «responsibility for a deliberate missile strike on peaceful residents», which it said used US-supplied ATACMS missiles. Sevastopol governor Mikhail Razvozhayev initially said in a Telegram video the attack had killed three children and two adults, and wounded nearly 120 people. He later revised the toll to four dead and 151 people requiring medical care, of whom 82 had been hospitalised. Russian President Vladimir Putin had called to «offer his condolences», Razvozhayev added. The Black Sea port city and naval base on the Crimean peninsula was annexed by Russia in 2014 but is still internationally recognised as part of Ukraine. Sevastopol regularly comes under fire from Ukraine but Sunday's attack was unusually deadly. Razvozhayev said the attack hit Uchkuyevka, an area with sandy beaches and hotels. Videos posted on social media showed people running from the beach as explosions went off and people in swimming outfits carrying a stretcher. AFP could not verify their authenticity. A local news channel on Telegram, ChP Sevastopol, cited witnesses as saying that an elderly woman was killed as she swam in the sea. Washington said in April that it had provided longer-range ATACMS missile systems to Kyiv, which had long urged allies for weapons allowing it to strike Russia farther beyond the front lines. Neither the United States nor Ukraine had commented on the Sevastopol strike. - 'Terrorist act' - The investigative committee, which probes major crimes, said it was opening an investigation into «a terrorist act». The governor said Ukraine had launched five missiles that Russian air-defences intercepted over the sea but fragments fell onto the shore, wounding people. Razvozhayev said shrapnel hit beach areas in the north of the city and set fire to a house and woodland. A Russian defence ministry statement said Ukraine had committed a «terrorist attack on the civilian infrastructure of Sevastopol with US-supplied ATACMS tactical missiles loaded with cluster warheads». The ministry said four missiles were downed but a fifth changed trajectory after being intercepted «with its warhead exploding in the air over the city». It added that «all flight missions for US ATACMS are entered by US specialists based on the US's own satellite reconnaissance data. »Such actions will not be left without a response,« the ministry said. Ukraine's military has not commented on the attack, which came a day after a Russian guided bomb strike on the city of Kharkiv hit an apartment building, killing two people and wounding more than 50. - Deaths in Belgorod, Russia - On Sunday, Russian strikes hit a house and a children's educational facility in Kharkiv, killing one person and injuring 10 including two teenagers, regional governor Oleg Synegubov said. In the Belgorod region on Sunday, three Ukrainian attack drones struck Graivoron, near the border with Ukraine, said governor Vyacheslav Gladkov, with one hitting a car park near a multi-storey block of flats. »A peaceful civilian was killed. The man died from his wounds at the spot« and three people were wounded, Gladkov wrote on Telegram. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in a social media post urged supporter countries to help Ukraine step up attacks on Russian soil. »We have enough determination to destroy terrorists on their territory -– it is only fair -- and we need the same determination from our partners. We can stop Russia,« Zelensky wrote. In his evening address he added: »The recent approval of strikes on Russian territory -- near the border -- made it possible to destroy part of Russia's terrorist potential.« But, he said, »we need more long-range weapons, we need appropriate weapons for Ukrainians". Ukraine's energy operator Ukrenergo announced that rolling electricity blackouts would be imposed nationwide throughout Monday because of increased Russian attacks on power stations. © Agence France-Presse

With a rise in demand for value-added fish products, the Seychelles Fishing Authority (SFA) hosted a fisheries festival on Praslin, the second most populated island recently. The festival was held on Friday at the Baie Ste Anne fish market as part of activities leading up to its 40th  anniversary and to celebrate this year's National Day on June 29, which is Seychelles' Independence Day. A large crowd was present at the fish market, the chosen venue for the event, but many voiced their disappointment as in less than an hour, mostly all the products had been sold. The SFA team had partnered with the Indian Ocean Tuna Limited (IOT) company to bring a variety of canned tuna products to sell at the festival. Other fish-based products such as burgers, nuggets and balls prepared by SFA were also on sale but not enough to cater to the islanders' demands. The fishballs were used in Spaghetti. (Mandy Bertin) Photo License: CC-BY   Members of the public who were present were eager to try the dishes prepared by SFA and among them were grilled fish, shark chutney, tuna belly stir fry and the mouth-watering salted tuna coconut curry. All the dishes were served with creamy lentils and pumpkin chutney. Spaghetti, usually served with meatballs, was given a new local touch, with fishballs replacing the meat. All the SFA products were sold before noon and the authority said this surpassed their expectations. Aside from the products on sale, an exhibition was mounted at the venue, showcasing the different sections within SFA and their work, marine animals, and the public were able to learn more about aquaculture in Seychelles. Neddy Rose, a fisherman for more than two decades, was present to demonstrate his skills in making fish traps, and this attracted a lot of school children who were visiting the exhibition. The students described the exhibition as interesting and informative, as they have acquired new knowledge on the fisheries sector in the country. Rose making fish traps. (Mandy Bertin) Photo License: CC-BY  Part of the exhibition gave in-depth information on various elements of aquaculture, which aims to help in diversifying the country's economy. One is the broodstock acclimation and quarantine facility, which is a multi-species facility located at Providence Port on the main island of Mahe. More light was also shed through this exhibition on the sea cage site, a project to carry out a pilot-scale group of marine finfish in Seychelles.  Visitors were also given information on crab farming, sea cucumber, sea urchin and pearl farming. The SFA team was also displaying and sharing more information on the permits needed before engaging in any fishing activity or fishing-related activities. People wanting to venture into a fishing business were able to view the section displaying information on the Vessel Monitoring Systems (VMS). These are used in commercial fishing to allow environmental and fisheries regulatory organisations to track and monitor the activities of fishing vessels.
