Donald Trump said he plans to call Vladimir Putin soon about a possible plague outbreak in Russia and will share what U.S. intelligence agencies are reporting “tomorrow.” The claims began after an employee of the Irkutsk Anti-Plague Institute died in Shelekhov, with reports suggesting pneumonic plague and quarantine measures at hospitals. Authorities have not confirmed the reports; Rospotrebnadzor cited pneumonia of undetermined etiology.
Belgian virologist Marc Van Ranst says plague may seem like something from the medieval era, but cases are reported every year in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Madagascar. He adds that the laboratory link makes this incident “a little more serious”.
Russia is investigating the death of laboratory worker Darya Shipilova at a plague research centre in Siberia’s Irkutsk region. Nearly 200 contacts are being monitored and have tested negative for pneumonic plague. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio urged Moscow to share more information, while Russian officials played down reports and denied claims of special measures.
Israel is marking the third anniversary of Hamas's October 7, 2023 attack with memorial events across the country for the scores killed in the assault led by the Islamist movement's militants from Gaza. The deadliest day in Israel's history is expected to dominate an election due in the coming weeks.

Israelis gathered Wednesday to commemorate the Hamas-led Oct. 7, 2023, attack, which killed 1,200 people and saw 251 taken hostage. It triggered a devastating war in Gaza, leaving much of the territory in ruins and its two million residents in dire conditions.
Residents of Kibbutz Kfar Aza held a memorial at 6:29 a.m., the precise time Hamas militants attacked Israel on Oct. 7, 2023. The assault killed 1,200 Israelis and left 251 people taken hostage in Gaza. It triggered Israel’s war in Gaza, which has killed more than 75,000 Palestinians and caused widespread devastation.
Israel observed a moment of silence for those killed in the 7 October attack. A group representing bereaved families organised tributes, including silence at 6:29am, the minute the attack began, with a ceremony due in Tel Aviv tonight.
As Israelis and Palestinians mark the sombre anniversary of the Oct. 7, 2023, attack that launched the three-year war between Israel and Hamas, people in Gaza are beginning to consider the future. CBC News spoke with six residents about how they are coping with shelter, food and education.
Three years to the minute after the start of the deadliest single day in Israel’s history, the country will hold ceremonies, memorials and protests at more than 400 locations to mark the somber occasion.
Ceremonies at the Nova festival site and Kfar Aza commemorated the third anniversary of the Hamas-led October 7 attack, which sparked the Gaza war.
Israel is holding memorials nationwide for those killed in Hamas’s October 7, 2023, attack.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz reaffirmed support for Israel and backed a Palestinian state alongside it. Palestinian officials said new Israeli strikes in Gaza killed two people.
Three years after the Hamas-led October 7 attacks in southern Israel, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is fighting to preserve his political future ahead of legislative elections later this month. Reports that Arab leaders warned him beforehand have weakened his claim that Israel’s security chiefs were responsible, yet his political base appears to be holding.
Three years after the Hamas-led 7 October attacks devastated Nir Oz, some survivors have returned to the kibbutz, where 47 people were killed and 76 were taken hostage. Residents including Dalit and Achi Aharon want to rebuild in memory of those lost, while preserving some damaged homes as evidence of the destruction.

Tent settlements are expanding across Gaza as families mourn the dead, tend to the wounded and face repeated displacement. Since Israel began what the article calls its genocidal war against Palestinians in October 2023, more than one in 10 of Gaza’s pre-war population has been killed or wounded by Israeli fire. Nearly all residents are homeless; despite a 2025 “ceasefire,” Israeli strikes continue, while restrictions on building materials hamper rebuilding and a reconstruction plan remains stalled amid disagreements with Hamas.

Gaza City’s port was once a centre for fishing and tourism before the genocide. Al Jazeera’s Maram Humaid shows what remains there.
Three years of Israel’s sustained aerial and ground assault have devastated Gaza’s homes, infrastructure, public services and economy, transforming daily life for its roughly two million residents. Repeated displacement, unreliable water and electricity, and the collapse of education and healthcare have made survival the organising principle of everyday life.
Three years of Israeli attacks have killed at least 74,000 Palestinians in Gaza, including at least 21,000 children, and injured more than 175,000. Most buildings, health facilities, water systems and schools have been destroyed or rendered unusable, displacing about 1.98 million people. Attacks and killings have continued despite the October 2025 ‘ceasefire’, which the US insists is holding.
The article says large-scale, high-intensity fighting in Gaza has largely subsided since Israel and Hamas reached a ceasefire agreement in October 2025, but lasting peace remains distant. Israel, Hamas, the Palestinian Authority and the international community are deeply divided over a political settlement, while rebuilding Gaza’s security and governance faces major challenges.
