MIGRANTS CAPSIZE OFF DJIBOUTI
At least 38 migrants, including women and children, tragically lost their lives when their overcrowded boat capsized off the coast of Djibouti. The incident occurred around 4 AM near the town of Obock, where local fishermen rescued 22 individuals. The survivors are currently receiving care and assistance from the UN Migration Agency (IOM), while six others remain missing and are presumed deceased. The migrants were en route from Yemen to Djibouti, a journey undertaken by many from the Horn of Africa seeking work in Gulf countries, often facing perilous conditions and exploitation by smugglers.

The UN atomic watchdog, the IAEA, reported a drone detonation at the facility’s training centre, prompting fears of escalating risks.

The IAEA Director General emphasized the irresponsible and dangerous nature of targeting a nuclear facility, calling for an immediate halt to such actions to prevent catastrophic consequences.
