Violence and public safety dominate the day’s world news, from a mass shooting in the United States and deadly strikes in Ukraine to fatal accidents in Britain and South Korea. Alongside those emergencies, politics and protest sharpen international tensions over Ukraine, Gaza, capital punishment and dissent in India.
At least eight people die in a shooting at a home in Erie, Pennsylvania, including a pregnant woman and two children. Police say the suspected gunman is also dead, apparently from a self-inflicted wound before officers arrive, making it one of the deadliest single incidents in the city in recent years.
Russian strikes hit residential areas of Zaporizhzhia in southern Ukraine, killing at least 15 people, including three children, and wounding many others. The attack adds to a recent pattern of mass-casualty strikes on Ukrainian cities and comes as pressure grows over how the war is being fought and sustained.
Donald Trump says Ukraine should replace President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and urges Kyiv to stop striking Russian oil and diesel refineries. He links the attacks to tighter fuel supplies and higher diesel prices in the United States, opening a new line of criticism over the war’s economic spillover.
Thousands march in London in a pro-Palestinian demonstration marking three years since the Oct. 7 Hamas attacks and calling for an end to Israeli strikes on Gaza. Protesters gather in central London and move toward Parliament, while arrests follow separate clashes linked to memorial events.
Pope Leo XIV reaffirms that the death penalty is inadmissible, calling it an attack on human dignity and the inviolability of life. His remarks come as the United States prepares to livestream an execution, giving fresh prominence to the Vatican’s long-standing opposition to capital punishment.
Indian police detain YouTuber Dhruv Rathee in Gurugram ahead of a planned protest at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar targeting the chief election commissioner. He is taken from his residence after returning to India from Germany, amid heightened security measures tied to the planned demonstration.
A ceiling collapse at a supermarket-style building in Daegu, South Korea injures at least 38 people and forces an evacuation. The plaster falls from the second floor during a busy sales period, raising immediate safety concerns at the four-storey site.
A man dies after entering a tiger enclosure at Yorkshire Wildlife Park in northern England and being attacked by one of the animals. Police respond in the early afternoon, and the park later evacuates the area as authorities begin investigating the circumstances of the incident.
