🔒 Impact & source links — PremiumSkyroot Aerospace's Vikram-1 rocket successfully launched from Sriharikota and released its payload in space, completing Mission Aagaman. The launch was delayed by 35 minutes but ultimately succeeded, marking a historic moment for India's private space sector.
India's Supreme Court ruled that using abusive language or swear words does not amount to obscenity under the Indian Penal Code. The court set aside a conviction from a case involving abusive slurs used during an altercation. It clarified that obscenity requires a lascivious element appealing to prurient interests.
Both the Amarnath Yatra from Pahalgam and Baltal routes, and the Vaishno Devi Yatra, have been temporarily suspended from July 19 due to bad weather forecast by the IMD. The Kashmir Divisional Commissioner confirmed the suspension as a precautionary measure to protect pilgrims.
Two parliamentary committees have postponed approving their reports on key legislation, including bills on higher education reform and anti-corruption measures. The move is seen as part of the government's effort to build opposition support for a separate delimitation bill. Both bills may not come up during the current parliamentary session.

Beijing-based Moonshot AI, backed by Alibaba, released Kimi K3 — a 2.8-trillion-parameter model it claims is now the largest open-source AI model in the world. Benchmarks show it performs on par with top proprietary systems from Anthropic and other leading US AI labs.
A survey of 107 enterprises found that 54% have already experienced a confirmed AI agent security incident or a near-miss. Most companies still allow AI agents to share credentials rather than giving each agent its own identity, and only three in ten isolate their highest-risk agents.
Meta is in talks to lease its excess AI computing power to Anthropic in a deal potentially worth $10 billion. What was seen as an expensive overinvestment in AI infrastructure is now being positioned as a revenue opportunity.
Analyst Ed Zitron argues that the AI boom is primarily propped up by OpenAI, and that its collapse could trigger an industry-wide downturn. The concern is that OpenAI's revenue is struggling to match its massive infrastructure costs, raising questions about the sustainability of investments from Microsoft, Nvidia, Oracle, and Amazon.
