Massive fireball erupts as Israeli missiles strike Gaza high-rises

The Israeli military struck multiple high-rise buildings in Gaza City on Sunday, after warning people to leave several neighbourhoods, in the latest round of destruction since Israel ordered a complete evacuation of the city earlier this week.

Romania condemns ‘irresponsible’ Moscow after Russian drone breaches its airspace

Romania has condemned Moscow's "irresponsible actions" after alleging that a Russian drone breached Romanian airspace during an attack on neighbouring Ukraine, prompting Bucharest to scramble fighter jets.
