In a tragic maritime incident, at least four migrants lost their lives when their boat sank off the coast of the Greek island of Lesbos, according to the Greek coastguard. Seven individuals were rescued, but it remains uncertain if more were aboard the ill-fated vessel.

Marking a historical first, King Charles opened the UK's inaugural LGBT armed forces memorial. This state-funded monument honors current and past military personnel, spotlighting the repeal in 2000 of a three-decade ban on LGBT service members.

Meanwhile, a Ukrainian suspect linked to the 2022 Nord Stream pipeline sabotage will battle extradition to Germany in Italy's highest court. The legal saga, centering on Serhii K., continues to unfold under intense scrutiny from both nations.
