At least 46 were killed in Chile as forest fires move into densely populated areas

At least 46 killed in Chile wildfiresIntense forest fires burning around a densely populated area of central Chile have caused at least 46 deaths, Chile's president said Saturday evening, and officials said at least 1,100 homes had been destroyed.

In a nationally televised address, President Gabriel Boric warned that the death toll could worsen as four large fires burn in the region of Valparaíso, where firefighters have struggled to reach the most threatened neighborhoods.

Boric urged Chileans to cooperate with rescue workers.

"If you are told to evacuate don't hesitate to do it," he said. "The fires are advancing fast and climatic conditions have made them difficult to control. There are high temperatures, strong winds and low humidity."

World Court rules in favor of Kyiv on genocide case; Zelenskyy says EU aid sends ‘clear signal’ to both Moscow and the U.S.

Zelenskyy and EU Commission President

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Thursday that the European Union’s approval of a 50 billion euro ($54 billion) aid package for the country sent a “clear signal” to Moscow about unity — and also to the United States, where the passage of further aid has stalled.

In his nightly address, Zelenskyy thanked EU leaders and said the four-year program would provide Ukrainians with financial guarantees for “social stability.” The first two tranches of delivery require a larger amount of 18 billion euros per year to shore up state resilience, he said.

UN agency calls Rafah a ‘pressure cooker of despair’ as Israel says offensive will move into city

Israel targets Rafah

The UN humanitarian office on Friday voiced concern about the hostilities in Khan Younis that have forced more people to flee to Rafah in the south of Gaza, describing the border town as a “pressure cooker of despair”, reports Reuters.

“I want to emphasise our deep concern about the escalation of hostilities in Khan Younis, which has resulted in an increase in the number of internally displaced people seeking refuge in Rafah in recent days,” said Jens Laerke, a spokesperson for the UN office for the coordination of humanitarian affairs.

“Thousands of Palestinians have continued to flee to the south, which is already hosting over half the population of about 2.3 million people … Rafah is a pressure cooker of despair, and we fear for what comes next.”

Israeli forces will continue their Gaza military campaign to Rafah, the Israeli defence minister, Yoav Gallant has said, despite the huge numbers of Palestinian civilians there.

US retaliates in Iraq and Syria after deadly Jordan drone attack that killed 3 service members

Retaliatory strikes launched

The U.S. military launched an air assault on dozens of sites in Iraq and Syria used by Iranian-backed militias and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Friday, in the opening salvo of retaliation for the drone strike that killed three U.S. troops in Jordan last weekend.

President Joe Biden released a statement on the airstrikes Friday afternoon.

"This afternoon, at my direction, U.S. military forces struck targets at facilities in Iraq and Syria that the IRGC and affiliated militia use to attack U.S. forces. Our response began today. It will continue at times and places of our choosing," the statement said in part. "The United States does not seek conflict in the Middle East or anywhere else in the world. But let all those who might seek to do us harm know this: If you harm an American, we will respond."

Dozens of other American troops were wounded in the drone attack on the Tower 22 base near Jordan's border with Iraq and Syria. The U.S. says Iran is responsible for funding and arming the militants while Iran has denied involvement. The U.S. has attributed the drone attack to the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, an umbrella group of Iran-backed militias.

Ukraine 'hits Russian missile boat Ivanovets in Black Sea'

Ukraine hits Russian missile boatUkraine's Main Intelligence Directorate said the boat was destroyed by soldiers of its special unit "Group 13" in Lake Donuzlav, a saltwater bay on the western side of the Crimean peninsula which houses a naval base.

"As a result of a series of direct hits to the hull, the Russian ship suffered damage incompatible with further movement - the Ivanovets listed to the stern and sank," it said on its Telegram channel.

A Russian search and rescue operation in the area was unsuccessful, it added.

It said the ship was worth in the region of $60-70m (£47m-55m).

Foreign Ministry official Olexander Scherba described the attack as "impressive".

"At 03:45 [01:45 GMT] there was the first hit and at 04:00 the whole crew was evacuated already. So there was no chance at all that this vessel would be saved," he told the BBC.

Joe Biden issues executive order against Israeli settlers in West Bank

Palestinian view damage to his house by settler

Joe Biden has issued an executive order targeting Israeli settlers in the West Bank who have been attacking Palestinians, amid fast-growing frustration in Washington at Israel’s trajectory in the midst of its war in Gaza.

The order initially imposes financial sanctions and visa bans against four individuals, and US officials said they were evaluating whether to punish others involved in attacks that have intensified during the Israel-Hamas war.

According to at least one report before the executive order, options included the potential to sanction officials.

Militants tied to deadly drone strike say they will halt attacks on US troops

Iran militia like to halt attacks oon Americans

An Iraq-based, Iran-backed militant group suspected of participating in the drone strike that killed three U.S. soldiers in Jordan announced it was suspending attacks on U.S. military instalations in Iraq and Syria.

Abu Hussein Al-Hamidawi, Kataib Hezbollah’s secretary-general, said the militia’s fighters would adopt a “temporary passive defense" and warned against "hostile American action." President Joe Biden said Tuesday that he had decided on a military response to the attack but provided no details.

The announcement comes amid increasing global concerns that the war in Gaza, ignited by a deadly Hamas-led rampage into Israeli border communities, could explode into a massive regional conflict pitting the U.S. against Iran. Biden said he held Tehran responsible for arming the militant groups but added that the U.S. was not looking for a war with Iran.
