Russian attack killed Four people in Donetsk Oblast

Russian shelling of Siversk, Donetsk Oblast, killed four people, the regional governor Vadym Filashkin said on Telegram on April 15.

The victims ranged in age from 36 to 86 years old.

Russian forces unleashed reactive artillery fire on Siversk on the evening of April 14, he said. However, confirmation of casualties didn't come until the following day.

Filashkin urged Donetsk civilians to evacuate to safer regions of Ukraine.

Russians launched a missile strike on Sloviansk in Donetsk Oblast on the morning of April 15, resulting in a massive crater forming in the city center.

Russians dropped an aerial bomb on the town of Ocheretyne in Donetsk Oblast the day before, hitting a five-story building. The strike killed one and injured two others.

Iran's president and foreign minister die in helicopter crash at moment of high tensions in Mideast
Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and the country’s foreign minister were found dead Monday hours after their helicopter crashed in fog, leaving the Islamic Republic without two key leaders as extraordinary tensions grip the wider Middle East. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who has the final say in the Shiite theocracy, quickly named a little-known vice president as caretaker and insisted the government was in control, but the deaths marked yet another blow to a country beset by pressures at home and abroad. Iran has offered no cause for the crash nor suggested sabotage brought down the helicopter, which fell in mountainous terrain in a sudden, intense fog.

Secretive Hamas military chief masterminded Oct 7 strike on Israel
Hamas' elusive military leader Mohammed Deif, one of the masterminds behind what Israel called its 9/11 moment, rarely speaks and never appears in public, a secretive existence that helped him survive seven assassination attempts. Now he is being sought outside of Gaza, from where he directed the Oct. 7 attack which took Israel by surprise, killing 1,200 people and creating a crisis for the far-right government by taking more than 250 people hostage. The International Criminal Court prosecutor's office said on Monday it had requested arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, his defence chief and three Hamas leaders for alleged war crimes, including Deif.
