Following the fire on the MV Lady Mary Joy 3 off the southern province of Basilan on Wednesday evening, at least 23 people were wounded and taken to the hospital.

The ferry is fully engulfed in flames, according to shocking video footage. According to regional governor Jim Hataman, survivors jumped into the water and were rescued by the coast guard, another passing vessel, and local fishermen. 'Some of the passengers were roused from their sleep due to the commotion created by the fire,' he said. Some people leapt off the ship.' Several victims drowned and were recovered at sea, while 18 were found in the passenger cabin's budget section, he added.  The ferry...

Gen. Herzi Halevi, began his tour to the Israeli Navy's elite Shayetet 13 commando unit on Thursday.  Cpt. "Aleph," who can only be identified by the first letter of his first name in Hebrew, informed Kurilla. According to the IDF, the briefing focused on the unit's actions, recent collaborative activity with the US Navy, and current intelligence assessments.  The IDF used Kurilla's visit to release video of recent Israeli-US naval activities in the Bab el-Mandeb strait, a key chokepoint connecting the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden.  Following their visit to the Shayetet 13 unit, Kurilla and Halevi met separately to discuss the "continued expansion of cooperation and sharing of ...

Humza Yousaf has been named the new leader of the Scottish National Party, succeeding Nicola Sturgeon.

  Following a vote in Holyrood on Tuesday, Humza Yousaf won the SNP leadership election and will most likely succeed Nicola Sturgeon as First Minister of Scotland. Yousaf, who was elected as the youngest MSP in 2011 at the age of 26, has spent weeks battling for the position of next First Minister alongside Ash Regan and Kate Forbes. A total of 50,494 valid votes were cast, representing a 70% turnout. Because no candidate received 50% of the first-choice vote, Regan, who garnered the fewest votes, was eliminated, leaving only Forbes and Yousaf. Forbes won 47.9% of the vote out of the two surviving contenders, while Humza Yousaf obtained 52.1%. "It is difficult for me to find the words to describe just how honoured I am to be entrusted by our membership of the SNP to be the party's next leader and to be on the cusp of being our country's next first minister," Yousaf said after the announcement. He praised his opponents, saying, "It's felt like we've seen e...
