In Nepal and Tibet, flash floods have killed more than 800 people with thousands missing, and rescuers are racing against time amid threats of further floods. A five-year-old girl was rescued and reunited with her parents, and a teacher was praised for saving over 900 children. Separately, a passenger ferry capsized off Northern Cyprus, leaving at least eight dead and 17 missing, with the captain and crew taken into custody.
The United States launched new strikes on Iran, targeting forces preparing to place mines in the straits, hitting suspected mine launches on Larak Island.
