The video of seven dogs from different breeds traveling together, uncertain about where to go, stopping to see curious passersby, has been doing the rounds. As social media users ask Grok whether the video is real, the South China Morning Post reported that the seven dogs walking along a busy highway in Changchun, Jilin province, were spotted by a netizen surnamed Lu. They were stolen by thieves working for a dog meat shop and were whisked away in a truck. But the seven dogs escaped from the truck and returned home, traveling 17 km in two days. The group of dogs included a German Shepherd, which was injured, a Corgi, Golden Retreivers, Labradors and Pekinese dogs. “They resemble a band of little brothers in distress, moving in unison – nothing like stray dogs,” Lu told Dahe Daily. Lu said he tried to help the dogs several times, wanted to guide them to safety, but the dogs kept on walking and ignored his attempts. Lu shared the video on Douyin, urging the authorities to step in. The dogs were seen wandering through nearby fields by some others, too, along the way. As their videos started going viral on Chinese social media, volunteers tracked their movement and ensured that they were home safely. Bitter Coffee Stray Dog Base told SCMP that the dogs are from the save village and they know each other as they often play together and that’s why they remained in a pack for two days as they returned home. One volunteer claimed that individuals operating a dog meat shop had stolen the dogs, suggesting they may have escaped from a truck, though no witnesses saw their departure.Based on the timeline of the videos of them walking back home, it’s believed that they escaped on March 16 and returned to their respective homes on March 18. In China, dog theft is considered a criminal offence, with penalties that can include fines or imprisonment based on the value of the animal.

Mojang Studios announces new content at Minecraft Live March 2026 event

Minecraft Live 2026 made a clear statement: ‘The Minecraft universe keeps expanding,’ that is, it is bigger than ever. From adorable mobs to immersive real-world experiences, a new theme park, and entirely new games, there’s something for every kind of player. And judging by the chaos, creativity, and smiles from the team, it’s just getting started.Check below all the latest updates Minecraft announced.

Minecraft Live 2026 reveals all the latest updates, new features and upcoming games

Tiny Takeover, moonlight trail and villager rescue update

One of the first big reveals was Tiny Takeover. The baby mobs in Minecraft were just smaller versions of adults but apparently, “not cute enough,” as Agnes reportedly said while holding a chicken plush. Now, each baby mob has a unique look. Pigs, rabbits, chickens, even bees, have all been redesigned to maximise cuteness. The team, including Jasper, Sarah, and Felix, talked about the inspiration behind the changes, while Sandra explained the challenges on the audio side. Some of those pigs apparently have more personality than you might expect.Minecraft is not just a game anymore. Torfi talked about real-world experiences like Villager Rescue. Players can explore biomes, mine resources, and even face mobs in physical spaces. It’s travelling globally soon, hitting Herning, Singapore, Mexico City, and Chicago.Next up is Minecraft Experience: Moonlight Trail, a nighttime adventure in a real forest. It’s opening in Buenos Aires first and might travel to other cities later. Experiencing Minecraft outside your console is a little surreal. It’s something you have to see to believe.

Minecraft world theme park

Big news here. Minecraft World is coming to Chessington World of Adventures in London in 2027. Merlin Entertainments and Mojang Studios are teaming up for the first-ever Minecraft rollercoaster, the largest Minecraft shop in the world, themed food, and, of course, mob meet-and-greets. Creators were involved to help bring tricky ideas to life. Daisy and Filip seemed really excited, though they might have overestimated how edible the merchandise is.

Chaos cubed: Sulfur caves and absorbing mobs

Another highlight was Chaos Cubed. First look at the sulfur caves: warm, glowing, but definitely not a swimming spot. Sulfur cubes are new mobs with crazy abilities. They absorb blocks, and how they act depends on what they consume. Feed them wood, and they bounce. Ice, and they slide. It seems like pure chaos, but the team is excited to see what players do. Creativity will likely reach new levels here. Mini-games, builds, experiments and anything goes.

Minecraft Dungeons II

Finally, Minecraft Dungeons II is coming. A full action-RPG with new challenges, locations, and of course, loot. You can play solo or co-op with up to three friends. It’s set to release on consoles, PC, and Game Pass. If you missed the first Dungeons, now’s the time to catch up. The developers promise intense encounters and plenty of surprises.

The Deep Dig and mini-games

During The Deep Dig segment, Chaos Cubed got its mini-game spotlight. Players like Agnes, Jens, Elisabeth, Camman18, and Bekyamon explored new features, battling sulfur cubes and discovering hidden secrets. Vu kept the chaos under control, more or less.

Bengaluru: Concerns of a renewed garbage crisis are mounting across Bengaluru after waste collection services were symbolically halted in 76 localities across the city Monday, triggering fears of a citywide disruption. The protest by waste collection auto drivers stems from an escalating dispute over waste segregation practices and working conditions.Sanitation workers and contractors have alleged that officials are compelling households to segregate waste into three categories, but compliance on the ground remains poor. As a result, the burden of segregation has shifted onto sanitation workers. Drivers claim they are forced to spend up to five hours daily sorting mixed waste, exposing them to hazardous materials including sharp objects. Workers have reported frequent injuries, skin infections, and other health issues due to prolonged exposure, said B Balasubramanya, general secretary of the Waste Contractors’ Association. Karigowda, head of GBA’s Solid Waste Management Unit, termed the stoppage “illegal.” He emphasised that existing agreements mandate contractors to collect only properly segregated waste and refuse unsegregated garbage. He added that the Essential Services Maintenance Act (ESMA) is in force and that contractors are legally bound to ensure uninterrupted services.In a parallel development, police have initiated legal action against multiple contractors. At Kumaraswamy Layout police station, an FIR was filed against BS Kiran Kumar of Sri Lakshmi Ranganatha Enterprises following a complaint by BBMP gazetted officer Manuja R. The contractor allegedly failed to carry out waste collection duties in Padmanabhanagar (ward 182) between 6am and 2pm on March 23, leading to garbage accumulation and public health risks.Additionally, two FIRs were registered at Rajajinagar and Girinagar police stations under the Karnataka Essential Services Maintenance Act-2013. Those named include P Vikram Devaraddi (Sri Varshini Enterprises), Anjaneya (Annamma Devi Prasanna Enterprises), and BS Kiran Kumar (Sri Ranganatha Swamy Enterprises). Complaints by sanitation officials cited failure to clear waste in multiple wards, resulting in foul odour, environmental hazards, and disruption to daily life.—

MEERUT: Two men were arrested on Monday for allegedly beheading a Delhi-based woman and dumping the body near a canal in a forested part of a village in Bulandshahr’s Narsena area. One of those nabbed was her ‘lover’, Vikas Kumar, who had lived with her in Delhi for about three years, police said.Babli Devi, 38, was a resident of Kalyanpuri in East Delhi. Her decomposed torso was found in Ghunghrawali village on March 15. With no immediate clues, cops conducted her last rites on March 18.A breakthrough was achieved days later when Babli’s Delhi-based family — her mother, daughter and brother-in-law — noticed her photo, posted by cops, on social media and approached police on March 22, confirming her identity.Bulandshahr SP city, Shanker Prasad, said, “Investigation found that the prime accused, Vikas Kumar, 32, a Bulandshahr native, had earlier worked with Babli’s late husband at a private hospital in Delhi and was known to the family. After the husband’s death owing to cancer two-and-a-half years ago, they developed a relationship and started living together in Delhi.”However, their relationship began to collapse when Vikas decided to get married elsewhere in Dec 2025, and Babli allegedly continued to pressure him to stay with her. “Babli has three daughters. They live with their grandmother… On March 15, Vikas lured her to his village in Bulandshahr. They went there on a bike,” the SP said.Once there, Vikas called his cousin Sachin and Aman Kumar, a friend, and consumed alcohol. All of them met in a forested stretch, and grabbed Babli by her limbs, decapitated her with a sharp weapon and threw her head about 500m away to “hide her identity”.After the horrific act, Vikas attended a family function in his village and later returned to Muradnagar, Ghaziabad, where he’d shifted after marriage. He also lodged a “missing” complaint to mislead cops.The SP added: “Through surveillance, we established his presence near the crime scene and he was held in Muradnagar. Aman was picked from Bulandshahr. The weapon used to kill Babli along with illegal firearms and the bike were found. An FIR was registered under BNS sections of ‘murder’ and ‘disappearance of evidence’. Vikas and Aman confessed. Efforts are on to nab Sachin.”

As tensions escalate in the Middle East, the United States is deploying a powerful naval group led by the USS Boxer, a Wasp-class amphibious assault ship designed to act as a military base for Marines.Often compared to a small aircraft carrier, the USS Boxer can bring significant air power to the region. It can operate advanced F-35B stealth fighter jets, attack helicopters and MV-22 Osprey aircraft, enabling it to conduct airstrikes and rapid-response missions.However, its role extends beyond aviation. The USS Boxer is built to support amphibious assaults, enabling US Marines to launch operations directly onto hostile shores.Click here for live war updates The ship can carry more than 2,000 troops, along with combat equipment, landing craft and command systems, making it capable of sustaining independent military operations, according to Newsmax.

.

The USS Boxer is deployed as part of a three-ship Amphibious Ready Group (ARG), which includes the USS Portland and USS Comstock. Together, they are carrying thousands of Marines from the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU).In total, the group includes around 4,000 service members, including both Marines and sailors. These forces recently completed extensive training exercises off the coast of California before departing from San Diego earlier this week.

Officials said that the deployment was accelerated, with troops cutting short their leave after certification to move quickly towards the conflict zone.The Boxer group is expected to take around three weeks to reach the Middle East, sailing through the Indo-Pacific region. It will join other US naval assets already deployed, including another amphibious assault ship, the USS Tripoli.This move comes as the conflict involving the US, Israel and Iran is nearing its fourth week, with Washington steadily increasing its military presence. In recent weeks, the US has already deployed carrier strike groups and additional amphibious forces to strengthen its position.

Expanding power at sea

The amphibious group is equipped with a range of weapons, including missile systems such as Rolling Airframe Missiles and Sea Sparrow, as well as fighter jets, helicopters and amphibious vehicles.In total, up to six amphibious ships could be operating in the region, carrying nearly 8000 personnel, including thousands of Marines trained for rapid deployment, according to Newsmax. The buildup comes amid growing speculation over potential US operations targeting strategic locations, including Iranian-held islands linked to oil infrastructure.

Why USS Boxer matters?

The USS Boxer stands out as a multi-role warship that combines the functions of an aircraft carrier, troop transport and assault platform in a single vessel.Its ability to launch airstrikes while simultaneously deploying ground forces makes it a key asset in any large-scale military operation.
