A bus carrying funeral mourners overturned on the Kisumu-Kakamega Highway in western Kenya, killing 25 people and injuring 20. The passengers, believed to be from one family, were returning from a burial when the driver lost control, according to BBC.

Kenya’s Ministry of Health called for urgent blood donations, while President William Ruto urged authorities to act quickly against negligence to improve road safety. The National Transport and Safety Authority will investigate the crash.

This comes amid a rise in fatal road accidents across Kenya, underlining the urgent need for safer roads, BBC reported.

Israel plans to seize Gaza City and forcibly relocate nearly a million Palestinians to southern areas, but many residents are refusing to leave.

The UN, several European countries, and China have condemned Israel’s military occupation plans. Gaza’s Health Ministry reports 11 people have died of starvation in the past day, raising hunger-related deaths to 212. Since the conflict began, at least 61,369 Palestinians have been killed and 152,850 wounded, Al Jazeera reported.

India’s Air Chief Marshal Amar Preet Singh confirmed that Indian forces shot down five Pakistani fighter jets and one additional military aircraft during the May clashes. India’s S-400 air defense systems played a key role, also targeting surveillance planes and F-16s at Pakistani airbases, according to Al Jazeera.

The conflict began after an attack killing 26 tourists in Kashmir’s Pahalgam in April. Pakistan denies losing aircraft and claims it shot down six Indian jets, which India rejects.

Despite a ceasefire, violence continues in Kashmir, with recent reports of casualties on both sides, Al Jazeera reported.

Germany has halted arms exports to Israel in response to the worsening humanitarian crisis in Gaza and growing public pressure. Chancellor Friedrich Merz, once a firm Israel ally, said the military campaign is unlikely to meet its goals against Hamas or secure hostages, Reuters reported.

This marks a rare shift in Germany’s long-standing support rooted in Holocaust responsibility, as public opinion turns critical of Israel’s actions. While Germany continues humanitarian aid to Gaza, calls for tougher measures, including sanctions, are rising within the government.

Despite tensions, Germany remains Israel’s second-largest arms supplier, highlighting the complexity of balancing moral concerns with strategic ties, according to Reuters.
