A fire tore through a girls' school dormitory in Kenya overnight, killing at least 16 students. The blaze, which broke out in the early hours, has shocked the nation and sparked an investigation into the cause. Local authorities have launched a probe and expressed deep condolences to the families of the victims.
Israel launched strikes on Beirut's southern suburb and intensified attacks across southern Lebanon, killing at least 16 people following large-scale evacuation orders. The escalation comes ahead of crucial Washington talks, with the US and Iran also exchanging periodic strikes.

The exchanges mark an escalation in direct US-Iran military confrontation. Analysts question the strategic significance of Iran's new defensive capabilities on the broader battlefield.
The US Justice Department has launched a criminal investigation into E. Jean Carroll, the writer who accused Donald Trump of sexual assault. Reports indicate the inquiry centers on her lawsuits against the former president. The development marks a significant escalation in the legal battle surrounding Carroll's allegations.
