Major Global Events

Middle East Tensions:

Israel has carried out airstrikes in Doha, Qatar, targeting Hamas leadership. This attack has been a significant development, especially since Qatar has been a key mediator in ceasefire negotiations for the war in Gaza. There are also reports of continued Israeli military operations and evacuation orders in Gaza City.

Russia-Ukraine Conflict:

Poland has reported that it shot down Russian "drone-type objects" that violated its airspace during an attack on Ukraine. This is a notable event as it represents the first time a NATO country has shot down what it believes to be Russian drones inside its territory during the current conflict.

Political Unrest in Nepal:

There have been deadly protests in Nepal, sparked by a social media ban. The protests, which have reportedly been led by "Gen Z," have resulted in at least 19 deaths and have led to the resignation of the country's prime minister, K.P. Sharma Oli. Protesters also reportedly set fire to the federal parliament building and other government offices.
