Cape Verde has extended their fairytale run at the World Cup, qualifying for the knockout stage for the first time in their history. Spain's victory over Uruguay helped pave the way for the island nation's historic advancement. Analysts say this marks a broader moment for African soccer on the global stage.
The United States military conducted strikes against Iranian targets in retaliation for an attack on a cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz. The operation marks a significant escalation in the region following weeks of heightened tensions. Multiple news outlets confirmed the strikes were a direct response to the vessel attack.
Former President Trump called Iran's strike on a cargo ship a 'foolish violation' of their agreement to end the war, shortly before the US launched retaliatory strikes. The sequence of events has drawn international attention, with reports from CNN, Al Jazeera, BBC, and SCMP covering the rapid developments. The ceasefire agreement now appears under severe strain.
Back-to-back powerful earthquakes have devastated coastal Venezuela, killing at least 920 people and leaving families desperate for news of missing loved ones. Rescue teams, including international aid workers, continue to search for hundreds still trapped under rubble. The disaster has struck a region already familiar with tragedy.
A magnitude 4.9 aftershock struck Venezuela days after the main twin earthquakes, further rattling the devastated region. The disaster has put Trump's previous vow that the US would 'run' Venezuela to the test, as international aid and political scrutiny intensify. Images from the ground show widespread destruction across affected areas.
