A captain of a Norwegian merchant vessel has been arrested in connection with a fatal boat accident off Tjörn, Sweden, where two individuals lost their lives. Prosecutors stated that the smaller recreational boat was struck from behind by the larger vessel. The incident has led to the arrest of the captain, with authorities describing the smaller boat as having been "almost run over" by the ship.
In Moscow, a bomb attack on a central restaurant on Saturday resulted in three deaths and 21 injuries. Russian exile media reports suggest that a Russian general might have been the intended target of the bombing. The investigation into the incident is ongoing.
Meanwhile, the United States has reportedly decided to suspend planned attacks against Iran. Sources indicate these would have been the most extensive strikes to date. This decision, according to Donald Trump's statement on Truth Social, is conditional on the swift finalization of an agreement between the nations. The specifics of this potential agreement remain unclear.
