A passenger train has crashed into a cargo train in central India, killing at least 11 people. The local passenger train hit the cargo train from behind near the city of Bilaspur, about 115 kilometres (70 miles) northeast of Chhattisgarh's state capital of Raipur on Tuesday night, senior government official Sanjay Agarwal told The Associated Press. One of the passenger carriages ended up on top of a wagon from the cargo train, Agarwal added.

The Israeli military has killed at least 20 Palestinians in attacks across Gaza after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered powerful strikes following an exchange of gunfire in southern Rafah, during which one Israeli soldier was wounded. The attacks on Tuesday marked the most significant flare-up in violence since a ceasefire brokered by United States President Donald Trump came into effect in the war-devastated territory on October 10.

The U.S. bombed two boats in the Pacific Ocean in two days, the Trump administration announced this week, in a major escalation of the U.S.'s aggression as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has vowed that the "strikes will continue, day after day." Hegseth announced both strikes in nearly identical posts on X on Wednesday, bringing the total number of publicly announced attacks to nine. They are the first that officials have acknowledged took place in the Pacific Ocean.

BEAUFORT, S.C. -- A mass shooting at a crowded bar on an idyllic South Carolina island has left four people dead and at least 20 injured, officials say.

"The (Hamas) movement's delegation participating in the current negotiations in Egypt is working to overcome all obstacles to reaching an agreement that meets the aspirations of our people in Gaza," Mr Barhoum said in a televised statement. He said a deal must ensure an end to the war and a full Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza Strip - conditions that Israel has never accepted.

Four people were killed in a shooting incident in the outskirts of Jerusalem, Israel's ambulance service said, while the police said the perpetrators had been killed. It was not immediately clear who carried out the shooting or what was the motive. Israeli police described the shooters as "terrorists" without saying how many had been involved in the incident. The ambulance service said earlier that 15 people were wounded and at least five were in serious condition with gunshot wounds.

Antonio Azevedo was in central Lisbon early on Wednesday evening, waiting to gather enough tourists for a ride in his tuk-tuk, when he heard what sounded like dozens of glass containers being dropped into rubbish trucks. The driver looked around Restauradores Square but saw no trucks, only smoke rising from the lower station of the Elevador da Gloria funicular railway, 100 metres from where his vehicle was parked.

The mangled wreckage of a yellow tram-like carriage, which carries people up and down a steep hillside in the Portuguese capital, lay where it had left the track and hit a building on Wednesday, just metres from its twin at the bottom of the steep 265-metre slope. The traction cable linking them had snapped. The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade confirmed to the Irish Independent that it is not aware of any Irish citizens affected.

"It's a tragic day for our city. ... Lisbon is in mourning, it is a tragic, tragic incident," Carlos Moedas, mayor of the Portuguese capital, told reporters.

The blast occurred during a rally organised by the Balochistan National Party-Mengal (BNP-M).
