Top developments:

The United States witnessed a major breach of security on Thursday morning (IST) as hundreds of Trump supporters stormed the US Capitol by breaching four layers of security and entering the buildings at a time when the US Congress was on its way to certify Joe Biden as the next US President.

One woman was killed in police firing even as hundreds of men and women armed with pro-Trump flags and even explosives that the security personnel neutralised stormed the US Capitol in a last-ditch effort to overturn the US election result in which Trump has failed to secure a second term. However, hours after the invasion, the Congress resumed session and certified over 270 electoral college votes to secure Joe Biden's victory over Trump.
