In Belfast
A stabbing in north Belfast left one resident fighting for his life and helped ignite anti-immigration clashes in the area. A Ukrainian family who had already fled Russia’s invasion said they were forced to move again after rioters damaged their home, and the father who was praised for helping stop the knife attack has now described what he saw. Belfast is having a remarkably bad week for anyone who likes stability.
In the Middle East
Iran’s Revolutionary Guard says it has launched retaliatory strikes after U.S. attacks, hitting an airbase in Jordan that hosts U.S. forces, along with sites in Kuwait and Bahrain. Authorities in Bahrain reported an explosion in Manama after an Iranian missile strike, while analysts warn the exchange could keep escalating.
In Ukraine and Russia
Ukrainian drones have struck targets in Sevastopol and at Russian oil refineries in a multiday campaign that has killed a rail worker, closed the Chongar road bridge, and worsened a fuel shortage. It is the kind of pressure campaign that leaves both militaries and fuel buyers with less room to breathe.
Other news
In Florida, a hospital says a Palantir AI tool helped save nearly 900 lives over four years by spotting sepsis earlier than staff did. In Louisiana, Victor Rivas was bitten by an alligator after running into a swamp during a suspected drunk-driving stop, and bodycam video has now made the rounds.
Separately, a former Air Canada captain is accused of flying for years without the proper license, while the airline says recurring training meant safety was not compromised. And in Europe, Audi says the new Q7 will launch there with diesel engines only, for now, which is a sentence that still somehow sounds more 2014 than 2026.
