Security forces respond to sharply different threats across several regions, from mass killings in South Africa to an explosives investigation near a U.S.-used air base in England and a deadly border clash in Afghanistan. The day’s world news centers on sudden violence, urgent manhunts and heightened concern around public safety.
Two mass shootings in South Africa leave at least 27 people dead in attacks hours apart. In one, gunmen open fire at a bar near Johannesburg, killing 17 people. In the other, 10 people are killed near Cape Town. Police launch a manhunt as investigators work to establish who carried out the attacks and why.
British police investigate a major incident near RAF Fairford in southwest England, a base used by the United States, after arresting several men on suspicion of explosives offences. Bomb-disposal experts examine vehicles at the scene while officers evacuate nearby homes and secure the area with an armed cordon.
Afghanistan says its forces kill 28 fighters and capture 32 others after a group crosses into the country from Pakistan. Authorities link the incident to alleged Islamic State affiliates and say some of those involved are wounded. The clash underscores continuing security tensions along Afghanistan’s border with Pakistan.
Oregon quarterback Dante Moore is taken to a local hospital after a late hit during the second quarter of the team’s game against USC in Los Angeles. Moore is treated on the field, placed on a cart and then moved to an ambulance after being ejected for targeting on the play.
