Floods kill 58 Tanzanians amid heavy rains
In the past fortnight, flooding in Tanzania has claimed the lives of 58 individuals, compelling the East African nation to address the issue through significant infrastructure initiatives. As torrential rains continued to batter the nation late on Sunday, the government released the death toll. In April, Tanzania experienced its heaviest rainfall; this year, the El Nino phenomenon, which has caused widespread droughts and flooding, has exacerbated the situation.
Confronting pro-Kremlin troll over false Jewish student killer claims
"I have never made any false suggestions," Simeon Boikov asserts. He disseminated false rumours under the alias "Aussie Cossack" that a 20-year-old Jewish university student was responsible for the stabbing and death of one man and five women at a Sydney Westfield retail centre. "Unconfirmed reports identify Benjamin Cohen as the Bondi attacker," he stated on X. Cohen, please. Indeed, indeed! It is absurd that so many commentators at first attempted to assign responsibility to Muslims.

Iran issues a dire warning to Israel regarding ‘reckless’ retaliation
A "much stronger response" awaits Israel in any "reckless" retaliation it may offer in response to Iran's unprecedented aerial assault, Iran has warned.

In the past, the security service issued an apology for missing an opportunity to prevent the attack, which resulted in the deaths of 22 individuals and numerous injuries. Attorneys have stated that the injured survivors of the Manchester Arena explosion are suing MI5.

What were the Iranian strikes and how were they stopped?
An unprecedented occurrence has transpired: Iran has initiated airstrikes against Israeli territory. Air raid alerts were issued in Israel during the middle of Saturday night; residents were advised to seek shelter in the vicinity of explosions detected as air defences were activated. Several locations throughout the country were illuminated at night by interceptions, and numerous drones and missiles were shot down by Israel's allies before their arrival on Israeli soil.
Bowen: Can US, allies prevent all-out war with Iran?
The Israeli war cabinet has described its forthcoming actions against Iran with a time-tested expression. Israel would respond "at the time and in the manner of our choosing."

Apologies, but Iran is not at war in this instance
Iran fired hundreds of drones and missiles at Israel on Saturday, April 13, in retaliation for an April 1 Israeli strike that claimed the lives of Iranian consulate personnel in Damascus, Syria. With the consistently supportive United States military, Israel's air defence system successfully intercepted the overwhelming majority of the projectiles, resulting in minimal damage. Iran, having completed its retaliatory actions, has now declared that the dispute can be considered "resolved." However, Israel is not one to concede defeat to others.
What prompted Iran’s assault on Israel?
Israel was targeted by Iranian drones and missiles in retaliation for an Israeli assault that destroyed the Iranian consulate in Damascus, the capital of Syria. It is widely believed that Israel was responsible for the consulate assault, although it has not officially admitted to doing so. It is the initial frontal assault by Iran against Israel.
