Description

The Titan submersible malfunctioned just days before its fatal dive; the Coast Guard is investigating the incident that resulted in five deaths. Israel has intensified its bombardment of Lebanon with 52 strikes targeting rocket launchers, prompting Lebanon’s prime minister to call for Security Council action, while the U.K. and U.S. advocate for a ceasefire. A 76-year-old man from Alaska has been indicted on 22 charges for threatening six Supreme Court justices and their families, having sent over 400 abusive messages, and he has pleaded not guilty. A former CIA officer, Brian Jeffery Raymond, was sentenced to 30 years in prison for drugging, filming, and sexually assaulting more than two dozen women across several countries over the past decade. In Springfield, Ohio, the mayor declared an emergency amid unfounded rumors of Haitian immigrants eating pets, which have led to over 30 bomb threats, to secure resources for public safety.
