Swedish newspaper Svenska Dagbladet also reported on other international news. The Ebola outbreak in Congo-Kinshasa has become the deadliest in the country's history, with 2,325 deaths reported. This figure surpasses the 2,299 deaths recorded during the 2018-2020 outbreak. The current outbreak involves the Bundibugyo variant of Ebola, for which there is no vaccine or treatment. The mortality rate has increased significantly, from approximately 20 percent in early June to 46 percent currently, according to health authorities.
Additionally, the newspaper reported the death of American actress Hayden Panettiere at the age of 36. The cause of death remains unclear. Panettiere was known for her roles in the TV series "Heroes" and "Nashville," as well as films like "Remember the Titans" and "Scream 4." She had been open about her struggles with addiction. Another report mentioned that U.S. President Donald Trump ordered the Pentagon to scale down annual military exercises with South Korea, citing his relationship with Kim Jong-Un and the cost of the drills. A large fire in Nykvarn also resulted in one arrest, with at least twelve cars and one residence destroyed.
