Multiple Terror Attacks and Drone Strikes Reported Globally

A bride was shot dead on her wedding night in a village near Avignon, France, after masked gunmen opened fire on the wedding party. The groom and a 13-year-old child were seriously wounded. One attacker was killed in an exchange of fire and two suspects were later arrested. The attack may be linked to drug-related score-settling.

A 27-year-old bride was shot dead on her wedding day in the south of France when she, her groom, and a 13-year-old child were targeted by armed attackers in the village of Goult. Three people, including the groom and the child, were injured. One attacker was killed after being struck by the couple's car as they tried to escape. Prosecutors have opened an investigation for murder and attempted murder by an organised gang.

Syrian authorities have arrested several suspects in connection to a deadly suicide bombing at a Greek Orthodox church on Sunday, which killed at least 25 people and injured 63 others. The interior ministry reported that the operation was carried out against "locations linked to cells of the terrorist organization Islamic State" and that explosive devices and a booby-trapped motorcycle were recovered. Syrian Interior Ministry spokesman Noureddine Al-Baba suggested ISIS was likely behind the attack, which occurred at the Mar Elias Church in Dweil'a, on the outskirts of Damascus. The perpetrator opened fire on worshipers before detonating himself. Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa vowed to capture those responsible and bring them to justice.

At least 22 people were killed and 63 injured after a suicide bomber opened fire and detonated an explosive vest at a Greek Orthodox church in Damascus, Syria. The attacker, believed to be a member of Islamic State, had his face covered and blew himself up as crowds tried to remove him. Witnesses reported a possible second gunman, and children were among the casualties. The incident is the first major attack since Bashar al-Assad was toppled in December, and officials have condemned the "cowardly act."

At least nine people were killed and 33 injured in a Russian missile and drone attack on the Kyiv region, with residential areas, hospitals, and sports infrastructure hit. The Ukrainian air force reported that 352 Russian drones and 16 missiles targeted Ukrainian territory, mostly in the Kyiv area. Residents described the attack as "total hell," with one person waking up in the rubble and another thrown across the room by the blast. The attack is part of a recent intensification of Russian air attacks against Ukrainian cities, which Ukrainian forces are struggling to defend against.

A Russian drone and missile attack on Ukraine's capital, Kyiv, killed at least 5 people and injured others, with rescue crews searching for those trapped under a partially collapsed apartment building. The attack damaged residential areas, hospitals, and sports infrastructure across the city. Another person was killed and 8 injured in the city of Bila Tserkva, southwest of Kyiv. The strikes occurred nearly a week after a combined Russian attack killed 28 people in Kyiv.
