Exiled critic of Rwandan president found beheaded

Russia's top diplomat is visiting Tehran for the first time since the U.S. launched its war with Iran, aiming, he says, to avert a return to major hostilities.

More than 50 security personnel have been killed and 200 injured in a Houthi missile strike on a camp in Yemen's central province of Shabwa, local authorities say. A spokesman for the Saudi-backed Yemeni armed forces said the Iran-backed group launched three ballistic missiles at al-Alam camp near Ataq city, which was being used as a training centre for recruits to the security forces and police. The head of Yemen's Presidential Leadership Council, Rashad al-Alimi, condemned what he called the "criminal attack" and promised a "firm response".

Ukrainian President Zelenskyy said Monday that his country had been subjected to another night of Russian missile and drone strikes, "and again there was no warning from partners." Zelenskyy has accused the U.S. of limiting intelligence, and possibly other assistance to Ukraine amid renewed tension with President Trump, who accused the Ukrainian leader over the weekend of not wanting to end the war. Mr. Trump has significantly softened the U.S. government's policy toward Russia, easing sanctions to allow Russian energy sales in a bid to ease U.S. gas prices.

A drone strike near a market in southern Sudan on Sunday evening killed 80 people, mostly commuters catching rides home. Ahmed Wadi, a witness, said the attack in the town of al-Dibab in West Kordofan state left “50 bodies who I helped bury, one of them my own brother Mohamed”. Using a satellite internet connection to circumvent a communications blackout, Wadi also said 47 other people were transported to the nearest town, al-Mujlad. A medical source, requesting anonymity for his safety, said 30 of them died from their injuries.
