UPDATE — Shabwa provincial authorities now put the preliminary toll from Monday’s strike at 53 recruits killed and 200 wounded, saying the count could rise. The [Associated Press’s updated report](https://apnews.com/article/yemen-houthis-saudi-fighting-2026-10-19) cites a provincial government statement; AP’s earlier dispatch had cited at least 20 dead and two dozen wounded. Other reports from earlier in the day differed: [Reuters](https://www.internazionale.it/ultime-notizie-reuters/2026/10/19/at-least-18-killed-in-houthi-attack-on-yemeni-government-military-camp-in-shabwa-sources-say) cited four government and medical sources for at least 18 deaths; [EFE](https://efe.com/mundo/2026-10-19/ataque-soldados-progubernamentales-yemen/) reported at least 30 dead and dozens wounded; [AFP](https://today.lorientlejour.com/article/1551328/houthi-attack-on-government-camp-kills-over-30.html) later cited military sources for more than 30 deaths and at least 70 wounded. These accounts reflect different reporting times and sources, not an independently reconciled count.
Three ballistic missiles struck the Al-Alam camp in Jardan district, north of Ataq, while recruits were assembled for training at a center for internal-security forces, according to [AP](https://apnews.com/article/yemen-houthis-saudi-fighting-2026-10-19) and [AFP](https://today.lorientlejour.com/article/1551328/houthi-attack-on-government-camp-kills-over-30.html). The Houthi-run SABA agency acknowledged the attack but did not give a detailed casualty tally. AP reports the camp lies on a route toward government-held Marib and key supply lines.
Shabwa’s provincial government said it instructed public and private hospitals to treat the wounded and transfer serious cases to specialist units. It also called for air-defense and early-warning support. Presidential Leadership Council head Rashad al-Alimi promised a “firm response,” but no details or timing have been reported. AP says the strike comes amid renewed fighting that has broken the 2022 ceasefire. It is separate from the earlier Aden government-complex attack covered in [Mushimu’s previous report](https://www.mushimu.com/post/9000).
The updated death and injury figures remain preliminary; the reporting reviewed does not provide an independent verification or a final assessment of damage.

Concept illustration — symbolic artwork; it does not depict an actual French location or event.
France is moving toward a patchwork of local curfews and gathering bans after the violence that followed Saturday’s demonstrations against the cost of living and poor school conditions. Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu asked prefects to establish “partial and very localized” curfews, saying the Interior Ministry would publish a detailed map later Monday. As of Le Monde’s 1:40 p.m. update, that map had not yet been published, so the full list of areas and schedules remained unclear. The Associated Press also reported Lecornu’s curfew order and the pending details.
One order is already in effect in Denain, in northern France. Le Monde reports Mayor Anne-Lise Dufour-Tonini imposed a nightly curfew from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. through October 25, applying to minors and adults. The mayor said it does not cover people travelling to work or genuine emergencies.
Marseille has a different restriction: demonstrations and other public gatherings were banned across the city from noon to 8 p.m. Monday, October 19. That is a ban on gatherings, not a general curfew on residents’ movement. Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez had been due to visit Marseille but postponed the trip to attend a working meeting with Lecornu and other ministers, Le Monde reported.
President Emmanuel Macron rejected Nuñez’s offer to resign and asked for transparency about security-planning and intelligence failures. Lecornu said he trusted the minister and said a state of emergency could be considered if needed, but none had been declared in the reporting reviewed. The AP reported at least 2,400 arrests nationwide. Separately, Commerce Minister Serge Papin estimated that at least 3,000 businesses suffered damage or looting, according to Le Monde; that remains an official estimate, not an independently audited count.
The casualty picture is also unresolved. Lecornu told the AP that no one was killed on Saturday, while Le Monde reported that Paris police had announced a death after a cardiac arrest and that prosecutors were checking reports of two deaths. The reporting reviewed does not establish that those reports concern deaths caused by the protest violence.
The government’s next test is whether the local restrictions prevent further attacks while remaining narrowly defined. The cost-of-living and education complaints behind the demonstrations remain unresolved.

Russian officials said overnight drone strikes hit St Petersburg and surrounding areas on Sunday, October 18, setting fires at the Petersburg Oil Terminal, the Ruchi oil depot and other sites. Governor Alexander Beglov said one person was killed and five were injured, figures reported independently by the [Associated Press](https://apnews.com/article/f813d3725b8b5f23958a68a95729fd0d) and [El País](https://elpais.com/internacional/2026-10-18/ucrania-lanza-un-intenso-ataque-sobre-san-petersburgo-y-golpea-una-terminal-petrolera-un-centro-de-datos-y-un-centro-logistico.html). Ozon said its St Petersburg logistics center caught fire; VK said a data center in the Leningrad region was attacked, while its services remained available.
Russia’s Defense Ministry said air defenses intercepted 1,015 Ukrainian drones overnight across 15 regions, Crimea and the Black Sea. That is the ministry’s nationwide claim and has not been independently verified. Leningrad regional governor Alexander Drozdenko separately reported 144 drones downed over his region, according to El País. The figures cover different areas and should not be added together.
The [Petersburg Oil Terminal](https://www.oilterminal.ru/en/company/) describes itself as a Baltic hub for liquid-product storage and shipping, with an annual capacity of 12.5 million tonnes. That scale helps explain why damage could matter for energy logistics, but capacity is not the amount of output lost in this incident. As of Sunday morning, officials had published no estimate of the damage, operational disruption or export impact. VK said its services continued normally, and Ozon had not detailed the effect on deliveries.
The strikes come amid continued attacks on energy infrastructure and uncertainty over the energy pause announced by President Donald Trump on October 11. The Associated Press reported that Ukraine resumed attacks on Russian oil targets after a three-day pause, while Kyiv said Russian strikes on its energy sector continued. The reports reviewed do not establish a jointly monitored ceasefire or say how long the St Petersburg facilities may be affected.

Super Typhoon Champi passed about 10 miles south of Merizo (Malesso’) at roughly 4:26 a.m. Sunday, October 18, according to Guam’s Joint Information Center (JIC). The National Weather Service said the closest approach was over by its 7:04 a.m. update: typhoon-force winds were concentrated in southern Guam, while damaging tropical-storm-force winds affected central and northern areas. At the airport, forecasters recorded sustained winds of 45–55 mph and gusts up to 80 mph; those readings do not represent conditions island-wide. The [NWS discussion](https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?format=TXT&glossary=0&issuedby=GUM&product=AFD&site=SLC&version=1) said winds fell short of earlier forecasts, partly because dry air entered the storm and the strongest wind field was smaller than expected.
The immediate concern has shifted to outages and damage checks. Guam’s JIC said at 12:45 p.m. that the island remained in Condition of Readiness 1, with 40–50 mph tropical-storm-force winds and gusts up to 60 mph possibly continuing through the afternoon. Residents were told to remain in sturdy shelter until COR 4 is announced and to stay out of the water. An initial island-wide assessment was planned for the afternoon to check roads, public facilities, utilities, debris and flooding.
As of 9 a.m., the Guam Power Authority reported about 51% of distribution feeders and circuits online. The island-wide system avoided a total blackout, but outages were widespread, particularly in the south; the 51% figure refers to circuits, not the share of households with power. Crews were to begin repairs when winds fell to safe levels. The JIC’s [utility update](https://ghs.guam.gov/node/4364) also said all 98 GWA production wells were online at 8 a.m., though low or no water pressure had been reported in parts of Pago Bay, Malesso’ and Latte Heights.
The president approved Guam’s request for an emergency declaration, allowing FEMA to coordinate emergency assistance. Guam’s public schools and Catholic schools will be closed Monday, October 19, while facilities are checked; schools serving as shelters will continue operating. The Guam Memorial Hospital said it maintained patient care throughout the storm and treated three people for storm-related issues; all were discharged. Officials have not yet published a full damage assessment. The [JIC releases](https://ghs.guam.gov/node/4364) say assessment teams will check conditions before authorities determine when it is safe to resume normal activity.

Pretty crazy scenes coming out of Limoges, France, tonight.
/media/assets/a6a93e0f-5f23-49d0-8df3-42f366e0c0b4/media.mp4
During nationwide protests over the rising cost of living, a group of rioters reportedly broke into the city’s historic town hall and set it on fire.
The flames spread to the roof, and reports say the building’s iconic bell tower has collapsed.
The town hall dates back to 1883, making this a huge loss for the city’s historic heritage.
Meanwhile, violent clashes, fires and looting have also been reported in several other French cities.
Things are getting seriously out of hand. Anyone here from France who can tell us what’s happening on the ground?

*Conceptual illustration — it does not depict Tuptup Resort or the actual fire.*
Police in Bangladesh have arrested Mohammad Sumon, manager of Tuptup Resto & Resort in Inani, Cox’s Bazar, for questioning after a fire at the property killed 10 people on 17 October. Ukhiya police chief Atikur Rahman told United News of Bangladesh that Sumon had been taken into custody and that a case was being processed. The reports reviewed do not say charges have been filed or establish the manager’s responsibility.
The arrest comes amid questions about fire-safety enforcement. Bangladesh’s Fire Service and Civil Defence says the resort had no fire-safety licence and had been formally warned in June that the building was hazardous. The agency says investigators are still working to determine what caused the fire; no cause has been confirmed.
The case also comes as local authorities inspect other businesses along Cox’s Bazar–Teknaf Marine Drive. The Business Standard reports that about 250 establishments had deficiencies in at least one of several required development, fire-service or environmental approvals. That does not mean they shared the same violations. ~worldnews

Conceptual illustration: an empty Security Council chamber with ballots representing the unresolved choice.
The race to become the next United Nations secretary-general remains wide open. In a sixth informal Security Council straw poll on Friday, Oct. 16, all seven candidates drew opposition from at least one of the council’s five permanent members, according to diplomats cited by [Reuters](https://www.marketscreener.com/news/grynspan-holds-lead-for-next-un-chief-as-race-enters-decisive-stage-ce785cdadf8efe25) and [AFP](https://origin-zh9p7m-www.afp.com/en/all-contenders-un-chief-receive-veto-diplomat). These “discourage” marks are signals in a private, non-binding poll; they are not formal vetoes.
For the first time, diplomats used red ballots to show whether a negative vote came from a permanent member. The change makes the main obstacle clearer: a candidate ultimately needs at least nine votes in the 15-member Security Council and must avoid a veto from any of its five permanent members before the General Assembly can confirm the appointment.
Costa Rican economist Rebeca Grynspan remained the front-runner in the informal count, with nine “encourage,” five “discourage” and one “no opinion” votes, Reuters reported, citing diplomats familiar with the secret tally. Two of her five negative marks came from permanent members. The [Associated Press](https://apnews.com/article/79845f29ae53eccdf9d5b4daf33402ba) separately reported that no candidate had backing from all five permanent members in this round.
The informal poll does not select a winner, and the field could still change. The next secretary-general will take over from António Guterres when his term ends on Dec. 31, 2026. The Security Council must eventually recommend one candidate to the General Assembly, which makes the appointment.
The key unknown is whether any candidate can turn the permanent members’ opposition into support—or whether governments will put forward additional names before the Security Council makes its formal recommendation.

*Conceptual editorial illustration — it does not depict the signing or an actual sanctions document.*
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Saturday urged supporters to speak out for new sanctions against Russia, a day after President Donald Trump signed an order putting key provisions on hold. Zelensky called the decision “unfortunate” and said it set aside a law intended to pressure Moscow to end the war, the [Associated Press reported](https://apnews.com/article/07e1dfc41bdad7b3292c6c263005fabc). He did not directly criticize Trump.
The Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act was signed in September and was due to begin taking effect on Oct. 18. It authorized tariffs of up to 100% on imports from major buyers of Russian oil and gas, along with other sanctions. Trump’s Friday order waived those new provisions, citing the national interest. It does not cancel earlier U.S. sanctions imposed under previous executive orders, and the White House has not publicly explained its rationale. The [order](https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2026/10/implementing-the-lindsey-o-graham-sanctioning-russia-and-iran-act-of-2026/) says it remains in force until the president or secretary of state decides further action is appropriate.
The decision drew criticism from lawmakers in both parties. The [AP](https://apnews.com/article/3cc9740c39e9e9eb713b1c553b5709e6) reported bipartisan opposition but no immediate congressional countermeasure; [Axios](https://www.axios.com/2026/10/17/trump-russia-sanctions-waiver) says critics are preparing to challenge the administration’s separate Russian-diesel arrangement when Congress returns after the election. That is a prospective effort, not a reversal of the sanctions waiver.
The political dispute is unfolding alongside continued attacks: Russian strikes overnight killed at least four people in Ukraine, including an ambulance driver, and wounded dozens, according to the AP. Zelensky said Ukraine’s lead negotiator Rustem Umerov met U.S. envoy Jared Kushner on Friday, but no details of their discussion have been made public. Whether Washington will restore any of the waived measures remains unclear. ~worldnews ~russia ~ukraine

Dozens of masked Israeli settlers attacked Palestinian villagers gathering olives in Abu Falah, northeast of Ramallah, on Friday, October 16, setting trees on fire and throwing stones, [Reuters reported from witness accounts](https://www.investing.com/news/world-news/israeli-settlers-burn-olive-trees-injure-journalist-in-west-bank-attack-4953461). The assault also injured Heidi Levine, a veteran photojournalist for [The Washington Post](https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2026/10/16/palestinians-washington-post-photographer-attacked-west-bank/).
Levine told reporters she was knocked down and repeatedly kicked; her cameras and phone were taken. The Post said video recorded by another journalist showed her being struck on the ground. She was taken to a hospital near Ramallah, and Reuters later reported she was in stable condition.
Reuters witnesses estimated that about 80 settlers took part. The Palestinian Red Crescent told the [Associated Press](https://apnews.com/article/5da500114e070ccaa27d36837b095de5) that it treated six people injured in two attacks in Abu Falah; AP said a 63-year-old woman and a 40-year-old man were hospitalized after beatings. These reports use different scopes, so a final count for the incident remains unclear. Reuters said its photographer saw an armed settler fire a gun. Witnesses cited by the Post said a Palestinian was wounded by gunfire. Reuters and the Post also reported that Israeli forces arrived and fired tear gas toward Palestinians. The Israeli military had not responded to either outlet’s request for comment when their reports were published.
The attack interrupted a seasonal harvest that provides income for Palestinian families, and damage to olive trees can affect future crops as well as this year’s picking. Israeli rights group Yesh Din counted at least 170 settler attacks since September 27, around the start of the harvest, Reuters reported; that is the group’s tally, not an official government count.
The reports reviewed do not establish the full injury toll or the extent of damage to the groves, and no investigation findings had been announced. ~worldnews

Conceptual illustration of Ukraine’s electricity network under attack; it is not a photograph of the strikes.
Russian attacks overnight and on Friday, October 16, disrupted power across Kyiv and eight Ukrainian regions, leaving hundreds of thousands of households without electricity and at least 15 people wounded, according to Ukrainian officials cited by the Associated Press.
Ukraine’s grid operator Ukrenergo said drone strikes hit energy facilities in Kyiv, Kyiv region, Volyn, Odesa, Zaporizhzhia, Dnipropetrovsk, Kharkiv, Sumy and Chernihiv. Emergency repairs have begun where security conditions allow. Rolling outages of up to two shifts and limits on industrial power use were expected to continue through the day, Ukrenergo said in a statement reported by [Ukrinform](https://www.ukrinform.ua/amp/rubric-economy/4175004-cerez-masovanu-ataku-rf-e-novi-znestrumlenna-u-kievi-ta-vosmi-oblastah.html).
The full number of affected customers, the duration of the outages and a detailed damage assessment have not been published. Separate weather-related outages affected 11 settlements in Poltava and Sumy regions, Ukrenergo said; those were not attributed to the strikes.
The attacks come as Ukraine prepares for colder weather, when damage to power infrastructure can also disrupt heating and water services. The UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission reported that 328 civilians were killed and 2,105 injured in September, 85% more casualties than in September 2025. Those figures cover the whole month and are separate from Friday’s attack.

Ukraine struck Russia’s Ryazan oil refinery overnight on Thursday, October 15, after Kyiv said it had paused attacks on Russian energy targets for three days at Washington’s request. Russia’s regional governor reported a fire, and a senior Ukrainian official confirmed the strike to the [Associated Press](https://apnews.com/article/russia-ukraine-war-oil-refinery-attacks-resume-0071b4f3792c9912b977b0ee73505b18). The damage is still being assessed.
The pause followed President Donald Trump’s Sunday announcement that Russia and Ukraine had agreed to stop attacks on energy sites. But, as [Reuters reported](https://www.marketscreener.com/news/drone-attack-causes-fire-at-russia-s-ryazan-refinery-regional-governor-says-ce785dd3d880ff25/), neither side publicly confirmed a bilateral agreement; Moscow had also said the truce’s scope was unclear. Ukraine says Russian attacks on its own energy infrastructure continued during the pause. The Kremlin, meanwhile, said Kyiv had never complied and criticized the refinery strike.
The facility is owned by Rosneft, supplies Moscow with fuel and accounts for nearly 5% of Russia’s oil-refining throughput, according to Reuters. That figure describes the refinery’s share of national capacity, not the amount currently lost: officials have not published a damage estimate or confirmed any shutdown. The reports reviewed also give no casualty count for the refinery site.
The dispute unfolded alongside a major Russian overnight attack on Ukraine. The Associated Press reported that strikes in central Kirovohrad killed three people and injured six, citing Ukraine’s emergency services. Kyiv’s account of the pause and Moscow’s account of compliance remain contested; no new, mutually agreed energy truce has been announced.

Romania resumed its search Friday for seven sailors missing after the chemical tanker Wine Trader was hit by a drone near the Black Sea coast, [Reuters reported](https://www.internazionale.it/ultime-notizie-reuters/2026/10/16/romania-resumes-search-for-seven-missing-sailors-from-drone-hit-ship). Five of the ship’s 12 crew members were rescued. Strong winds and rough seas had hampered the earlier search; Romanian officials said a helicopter would put four rescuers aboard while a vessel continued searching nearby waters.
The incident is part of a wider run of strikes on commercial shipping near Romania and Bulgaria. An [Associated Press overview](https://apnews.com/article/866f21a940311b13abd9425457edf388) published Friday counted at least seven vessels hit this month, with two people dead and at least 25 sailors still missing across the incidents. Those are cumulative figures, not a toll from the Wine Trader alone. Reuters separately reported that at least five other ships had been hit in the past 10 days, with 23 sailors reported dead or missing; that snapshot uses a different timeframe and tally.
The Comoros-flagged tanker Yara J was struck inside Romanian waters late Wednesday; its crew were unharmed and the vessel was towed to Constanța. Romanian President Nicușor Dan said drones hit the two tankers but did not identify their origin. An unnamed NATO military source told Reuters the drones came from Russia; no public forensic finding has established responsibility.
Bulgaria has asked NATO to deploy combat aircraft and anti-drone systems to strengthen its maritime defenses, Defence Minister Dimitar Stoyanov said Friday. Dan said Romania had also requested additional equipment. The requests do not mean NATO has announced a new deployment. The attacks are raising risks along Black Sea shipping routes near the Sulina Canal, a key corridor for Ukrainian exports. The search and national investigations are continuing.

Missiles struck the Maashiq Palace complex in Aden on Thursday, October 15. The site is used by Yemen’s internationally recognized government. Information Minister Moammar al-Eryani said Prime Minister Shaya al-Zindani and cabinet members were safe; two officials told [Reuters](https://theprint.in/world/houthis-attack-presidential-palace-complex-in-yemens-aden-pm-unharmed-officials-say/3073154/) that five missiles hit and two palace guards were killed.
The Houthis claimed they hit a Saudi-run military operations headquarters and weapons stores inside the complex. Reuters said it could not independently verify those targets. Witnesses told the [Associated Press](https://apnews.com/article/saudia-arabia-yemen-houthi-rebels-explosions-ed4dcdad5cfd4b08033b1af5cf81dca5) they heard at least six explosions near the palace and security gate.
The casualty count remains unsettled: Reuters and [EFE](https://efe.com/mundo/2026-10-15/ataque-huti-palacio-presidencial-yemen/) reported two guards killed, while a later [AFP dispatch](https://noticias.uol.com.br/ultimas-noticias/afp/2026/10/15/ataque-de-houthis-a-palacio-presidencial-deixam-4-mortos-no-iemen.amp.htm), citing three government military sources, put the toll at four dead and ten wounded. AP’s earlier account said two had died and six were wounded. Yemen’s cabinet had not issued a final tally in EFE’s report, and the extent of damage remains unclear.
The strike marks a rare attack on the government’s Aden base as the Houthi conflict with the Saudi-led coalition intensifies. The government says it will continue its military campaign, according to EFE; the Houthis describe the palace target as a Saudi military command post. Independent confirmation of that claimed target has not been reported.

*AI-generated conceptual illustration; it is not a photograph of the flood scene.*
The Oct. 14 downpour flooded homes, businesses, roads and underpasses across Istanbul, sweeping vehicles into streets and disrupting transport. Rescuers found the body of 66-year-old Turgut Dursun beneath a bridge in Sariyer on Friday, Oct. 16. [The Associated Press now reports four deaths](https://apnews.com/article/b14a013cc2ad5cd767eb08c2ebf01a50), up from three in its previous dispatch.
The total is not fully reconciled across reports. AP said Interior Minister Mustafa Ciftci had reported four people missing before Dursun was found, but its latest story does not give a revised missing-person count. Separately, Turkish outlet [Bianet reported](https://bianet.org/haber/death-toll-from-istanbul-floods-rises-to-five-several-others-reported-missing-324481) that a construction worker died while draining floodwater at a school site in Beykoz on Thursday. The accounts do not establish whether that worker is included in AP’s four-death toll, so a final combined count remains unclear. [DHA reported](https://www.dha.com.tr/gundem/ayazaga-deresinde-arama-calismasi-suruyor-2964118) that searches in Ayazaga were continuing Friday.
Ciftci described the disaster as the country’s worst flood since 1942, a characterization attributed to the minister. He said authorities had received 9,850 flood-related damage and assistance reports and mobilized 46,000 personnel in Istanbul.
The Turkish General Directorate of Meteorology’s [warning, issued Thursday](https://www.mgm.gov.tr/tahmin/uyari-goster.aspx?sN=26010518y), forecasts heavy rain across Istanbul on Saturday, Oct. 17, and warns of renewed flooding, landslides, lightning and transport disruption while damage from Wednesday’s storm is still being dealt with. That leaves residents and emergency crews facing another round of risk before search operations and cleanup have concluded.

Student-led demonstrations and clashes continued in Tirana on Thursday, October 15, for a third consecutive day. Protesters threw rocks at a police cordon outside the Education Ministry; police used tear gas and water cannons and detained several people, the [Associated Press reported](https://apnews.com/article/albania-protests-tirana-police-clashes-2c04ef79a5bbbfcf054b161111c85b50).
The latest clashes followed Wednesday’s riots, when demonstrators attacked government buildings, banks and businesses. Albania’s Health Ministry said 89 people received medical care that day, including 61 police officers, according to AP; there is no separate injury count for Thursday in the reports reviewed. Students say they want education reforms and help with rising university costs. They have joined the broader Flamingo movement, which is demanding Prime Minister Edi Rama’s resignation over corruption allegations and opposes a luxury coastal development linked to Jared Kushner’s investment firm. The movement’s allegations remain political claims, not findings established by this protest reporting. [Reuters’ report on Wednesday’s march](https://www.investing.com/news/world-news/banks-buildings-burn-as-albanias-capital-tirana-erupts-into-student-violence-4950878) also describes student demands around university costs, financial support and job prospects.
Rama has said he will remain in office and continue Albania’s bid to join the European Union; the opposition has called for a caretaker government and early elections. The EU delegation has urged a proportionate police response and expressed concern about the escalation, as reported by AP. No negotiated next step has been reported.
The Associated Press posted this video on October 14; it shows the earlier clashes in Tirana on Tuesday, October 13:
