“A car exploded near a train station at an Indian landmark on Monday, killing at least 10 people and injuring more than 30 others, officials said. A slow-moving vehicle was seen approaching the landmark Red Fort attraction in Delhi, early Monday — with the car exploding after coming to a stop at a red light, CNN reported. ‘An explosion occurred in that vehicle, the passengers in the vehicle and people in surrounding vehicles were impacted,’ Delhi Police Commissioner Satish Golcha told reporters. … Law enforcement agencies are currently investigating the explosion, which originated from a Hyundai i20 car, India’s federal home minister, Amit Shah, confirmed.” (11/10/25)
“A female TikToker accused of helping Mali’s army has been seized and killed execution-style by suspected jihadists. Mariam Cissé, said to be in her 20s and with over 100,000 TikTok followers, posted videos about life in her Tonka hometown in the northern Timbuktu region and often expressed support for the army. Her death has shocked the nation, which has been battling a jihadist insurgency since 2012. State TV said she had simply wanted to promote her community and support the army through her TikTok posts.” (11/10/25)
“Police in St. Petersburg have detained Diana Loginova, a teenage street musician already jailed twice for short stints after performing anti-Kremlin songs, as she left prison, state media and her supporters said on Monday. … Loginova was due to be released on Monday, but was instead taken to a police station in central St. Petersburg where the state RIA news agency cited a law enforcement source as saying she was expected to be charged with another public order offence that could see her jailed again for another short stint. Separately, court records show Loginova faces more charges for discrediting the army.” (11/10/25)

The offer was delivered to the state news agency RIA Novosti and first reported by Reuters on Sunday. ‘Secretary of State Marco Rubio and I understand the need for regular communication,’ Lavrov said. ‘It is important for discussing the Ukrainian issue and promoting the bilateral agenda.

“The Federal Aviation Administration on Monday will ‘effectively prohibit business aviation’ at a dozen major U.S. airports, adding to flight restrictions for commercial airlines as air traffic controller shortages snarl travel in the government shutdown, a trade group said. Last week, the Trump administration ordered U.S. commercial airlines to cut their schedules to ease strains on air traffic controllers who are working without their regular paychecks in the shutdown. They didn’t require cuts to private flights, though the air traffic shortages have slowed travel broadly.” (11/10/25)
“Amid the passage last week of Proposition 50, which approves newly drawn U.S. House maps in California to favor Democrats during next year’s midterm elections in response to Republican gerrymandering efforts in other states, one California politician is pushing a new plan as a way for Republicans to fight back: to split the state down the middle. State Assemblyman James Gallagher, who represents several counties north of Sacramento, spoke firmly to the Shasta County board of supervisors during a public meeting on Thursday, Nov. 6, saying the passage of Prop. 50 was a ‘catalyst’ for him to reintroduce a resolution that would form a new state out of multiple dissatisfied California counties. The proposed new 51st American state would sever the entirety of more rural inland California from the coast.” (11/10/25)
“Five drones were spotted flying over Belgium’s Doel nuclear power plant near the Port of Antwerp on Sunday evening, energy company Engie said. ‘Initially we had detected three drones, but then we saw five drones. They were up in the air for about an hour,’ Engie spokesperson Hellen Smeets told POLITICO Monday morning. The first report of the three drones came shortly before 10 p.m. on Sunday, Smeet said, adding that the sightings had no impact on the plant operations. Belgium’s national Crisis Center, which is currently monitoring the situation, confirmed the incident.

“The Senate on Sunday made significant progress towards ending the longest US government shutdown in history, narrowly advancing a compromise bill to reauthorize funding and undo the layoffs of some employees. But the measure, which resulted from days of talks between a handful of Democratic and Republican senators, leaves out the healthcare subsidies that Democrats had demanded for weeks. Most Democratic senators rejected it, as did many of the party’s lawmakers in the House of Representatives, which will have to vote to approve it before the government can reopen.” (11/10/25)
“South Korea’s special prosecutor has indicted former President Yoon Suk Yeol on new charges related to his short-lived imposition of martial law last year, including aiding an enemy state. Prosecutors opened a special investigation earlier this year to examine whether Yoon ordered drone flights over North Korea to provoke Pyongyang and strengthen his effort to declare martial law. … Yoon was removed from office by the Constitutional Court in April and is on trial for insurrection and other charges stemming from his failed martial law declaration. If found guilty, he could be sentenced to death.” (11/10/25)
