'NKorea's missile launches were nuclear attack drills'_我的网站

A |     The road to release for Vaa Vaathiyaar has taken yet another unexpected turn. The Madras High Court has now ordered that the film cannot be screened in any capacity until producer KE Gnanavel Raja settles a significant financial obligation linked to an older dispute. This ruling arrives at a crucial moment, as the makers were preparing for a December 12 release and building momentum with new promotional material.The legal action was initiated by petitioner Arjunlal Sundardas, whose claim was presented through the Official Assignee of the High Court. The petition requests repayment of an amount that totals more than twenty-one crore rupees. The court has made it clear that the release of Vaa Vaathiyaar will remain frozen until the full sum is repaid.This latest development follows earlier indications of financial strain around the project, and it adds to the series of delays that have kept the film from reaching audiences. With fan excitement rising after the trailer launch and cast promotions, the stay order has generated fresh waves of uncertainty in the trade.          A promising entertainer caught in a legal storm     Directed by Nalan Kumarasamy, Vaa Vaathiyaar has been positioned as a return to form for the filmmaker, whose first two features Soodhu Kavvum and Kadhalum Kadandhu Pogum earned both critical acclaim and strong audience affection. His third feature promises an energetic blend of action and quirky storytelling, with Karthi leading a star packed ensemble.The cast includes Krithi Shetty, Sathyaraj, Rajkiran, Anandaraj, Shilpa Manjunath, Karunakaran, GM Sundar, Ramesh Thilak, PL Thenappan, Vidhya Borgia, Nivas Adthitan, and Madhur Mittal, among many others. The film also reunites Nalan with composer Santhosh Narayanan, a collaboration that previously produced some of the most distinctive soundtracks in recent Tamil cinema.With a team of this scale, Vaa Vaathiyaar was widely expected to be a key theatrical release for the season. Early reports had hinted at a mid-December date before finally confirming the 12th, and promotional content had begun circulating across platforms. The High Court’s order now places all such plans on hold.          Future of the release remains uncertain     The judiciary has taken a firm stance on ensuring that outstanding financial matters are resolved before the film moves forward. This creates a sense of unpredictability for distributors and theatre owners who were preparing for the release window.For fans, the situation is disappointing, especially given the rising curiosity around Nalan Kumarasamy’s first film in several years and the promise of a lively performance from Karthi. Many are now waiting to see whether the producer can resolve the financial dispute swiftly or whether the release will be pushed further into the new year.Industry insiders believe that the scale of the film and the goodwill surrounding the team may lead to a solution sooner rather than later. However, until the court receives proof of repayment, Vaa Vaathiyaar will remain in limbo.As the case progresses, all eyes will be on the next move from the production house and on whether the film can reclaim its release date after this unexpected pause.     Also Read: Karthi’s Vaa Vaathiyaar Locks Release Date。    Pyongyang, Oct 10 (UNI) North Korea on Monday said its recent barrage of missile launches were actually nuclear attack simulation on the South.

It comes as intelligence suggests North Korea is preparing to hold its first nuclear weapon test in five years, the BBC reported.

In recent weeks, Pyongyang has launched seven sets of missiles in response to recent US and South Korea drills.

On Monday, state media published extensive reports claiming the missiles were designed to carry tactical nuclear weapons.

These are small short-range weapons intended for use on the battlefield. They said the military practised loading the missiles with dummy versions of these miniaturised warheads.

They also claimed to have successfully simulated hitting South Korea's military bases, ports and airports, and said the launches were a warning to US and South Korea.

State news agency KNCA ran photos of leader Kim Jong-un overseeing and "guiding" the tests.

US and South Korea intelligence officials have been suggesting that the North may soon test a nuclear weapon for the first time since 2017.

Experts believe it could also use the opportunity to detonate a smaller tactical device for the first time - the sort which would fit into the missiles it has been testing, the BBC reported.

Last month Kim declared North Korea an "irreversible" nuclear power and revised its laws, allowing it to use nuclear weapons pre-emptively. Its previous policy had been to only use such weapons in response to an attack.

It has also markedly stepped up its frequency of missile firings this year, carrying out over 40 missile launches this year so far - its most ever.

Most of the launches in the past fortnight have been short-range missiles, which landed in the sea between North Korea and Japan.

But North Korea also fired a longer-distance missile over Japan last Tuesday - which analysts say is a new intermediate-range ballistic missile, based on the weapon's design.

This year has seen the North test-fire missiles from a variety of launch sites including trains and convoys - moving platforms which would make it harder for the weapons to be destroyed in a strike, analysts have suggested.

The analysts told BBC that Monday's state media reports framed the recent launches as "tactical nuclear operations units" - instead of describing them purely as missile tests - suggesting that North Korea has now developed a system for deploying smaller, short-range nuclear weapons.

The 25 September-October 9 barrage were a response to the US deploying its nuclear-powered aircraft carrier the USS Ronald Reagan to waters around the Korean peninsula, and holding joint drills with Seoul and Tokyo.

The acceleration marks a significant change from when Pyongyang pursued denuclearisation talks with then US President Donald Trump between 2018 and 2019.

Analysts also said North Korea is also reacting to South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol's hawkish stance to the North and closer ties with the US.
