North Korea has been terrorizing the world with its nuclear missile tests. The world is outraged by the new missile launches, which come just a few days after the successful test explosion of a hydrogen bomb.

Moreover, North Korea has prepared its nuclear weapons arsenal. The country can increase that number further if necessary. North Korea has the capacity to produce at least 60 nuclear bombs within the next three years. Such is the sensational research report given by Science and International Security. The Pentagon's military officials have been shaken after receiving the report of this US organization.

According to the report of Kolkata Twenty Four, the research report states that according to the 1999 estimate, US defense researchers estimated that Pyongyang had only two nuclear bombs. That could increase to 10 by 2020. That estimate is being reversed. Analyzing various sources, researchers see that North Korea has made great progress in its nuclear program. The country's natural resources are being used as raw materials to make nuclear bombs. Since Pyongyang does not comply with the international nuclear program. Therefore, they are increasing their nuclear power.

It is worth noting that North Korea has been testing multiple missiles, both large and small, in the past few rounds. Due to which sanctions have also been imposed. But in practice, North Korea has repeatedly tested missiles, ignoring them. Recently, satellite images have captured some unusual images of North Korea. Seeing this, experts believe that North Korea may launch nuclear weapons again.

A 19-year-old American model, known as 'Gisele' in the fashion world, has put her virginity up for auction.
This virginity auction took place through the infamous German website Cinderella Escorts.

According to multiple international media reports, an agent in Abu Dhabi bought Gisele's virginity for three million US dollars (240 million in Bangladeshi taka).

In response, Gisele said that her dream has come true in recent days. She will use this huge amount of money to buy a new house and spread her wings to travel the world.

Gisele's 'selling of virginity' has drawn strong international reactions. According to Gisele, virginity is a kind of 'bondage'. If she is 'free of bondage', then what is the public's concern? Gisele also said that she wants to share her 'first experience' with someone who is not her boyfriend.

It is said that Gisele had decided to sell her virginity before she found Cinderella Escorts. She believes that the agency has made her dream come true.

Incidentally, Cinderella Escorts is controlled from Dortmund, Germany. It is owned by 27-year-old Jan Jacobielski. The site became famous overnight in 2016 after selling the virginity of a Russian model named Alexandre Khafren.

Lakshmipur: A divorced husband, Abul Kalam (35), and his three friends have been accused of kidnapping his ex-wife, torturing her, beating her, and gang-raping her in Kamalnagar, Lakshmipur.

The victim was admitted to Lakshmipur Sadar Hospital on Saturday afternoon (November 18). Earlier, on Friday evening (November 17), the woman was abducted from the Torabganj area of the upazila and gang-raped overnight.

The victim is the daughter of a poor farmer from Char Kalkini village in Kamalnagar upazila. She has two sons and a daughter, aged six and eight.

The accused, divorced husband Abul Kalam, is the son of Anwar Ali of the neighboring Torabganj area.

The victim's mother said that her daughter got married to Abul Kalam 10 years ago. Since the marriage, he has taken dowry several times on various pretexts. He kept demanding more dowry. Last year, he pressured her for a dowry of 50,000 taka. When she did not give the money, he started torturing her daughter. Later, without getting any solution, she divorced her lustful husband through the court six months ago. As a result, the lustful man along with his three other friends kidnapped my daughter, tortured her by cutting her hair, beating her and gang-raping her.

The victim told reporters while undergoing treatment at the hospital that she left her house on Friday afternoon to go to her brother's house in Shahpur village of Lakshmipur Sadar upazila. When she reached Torabganj area in the evening, her divorced husband, who had been on the run since before, along with three other friends kidnapped her and locked her in a room of Abul Kalam's house. During this time, she was beaten and tortured by cutting her hair. Later, they gang-raped her in turns throughout the night. At one point, I lost consciousness. In the morning, they left me on the side of the road and fled. My mother, after receiving information from the locals, rescued me, gave me primary treatment and later admitted me to Lakshmipur Sadar Hospital.

Dr. Anwar Hossain, resident medical officer of Lakshmipur Sadar Hospital, said that the abused woman is undergoing treatment. The rape case will be known after an examination.

Kamalnagar Police Station Officer-in-Charge (OC) Akul Chandra Biswas said, "No one has filed a complaint with the police station in this regard. I have heard about it. The operation is ongoing to arrest those involved."

Lakshmipur: A ship loaded with stones that sank in the Meghna River in Ramgati, Lakshmipur, has not been recovered even after 12 days.

STC Shipping Lines Limited General Manager (Operations) Md. Lokman Hossain confirmed that the ship could not be recovered as of Saturday (November 18) morning.

Earlier, on Monday, November 6, at around 3:30 am, the STC Shipping Lines Limited's ship MV Alo Micil (M 13087) carrying stones worth Tk 1.5 crore sank in the Boyarchar area of the Meghna River in Ramgati. A general diary (GD) was filed with Ramgati Police Station the next day, Tuesday, November 7. Its number is 252.

Authorities fear a loss of 50 to 60 million taka if the ship cannot be salvaged.

According to police and general diary sources, on Sunday, November 5, the ship departed from Patenga, Chittagong, carrying 2,000 metric tons of foreign stones for Pagla, Narayanganj. On the way, when it reached the Boyarchar area of Ramgati, the ship sank with the stones and got stuck. Despite many attempts, it was not possible to rescue it. At that time, the water in the river decreased during the low tide. Due to insufficient water, the middle part of the ship sank under the weight of the stones. Due to this, water entered inside. Due to which, the rescue of the ship became uncertain.

STC Shipping Lines Limited MD Engineer Mohammad Shahidul Islam said, "It was not possible to salvage the ship. In the current situation, there is no capacity to salvage the ship. This will cause a loss of about 50 million taka. Even if it is salvaged, it will cost about 10 million taka."

Ramgati Police Station Officer-in-Charge (OC) Md. Iqbal Hossain confirmed that a GD has been filed with the police station regarding the ship sinking.
