In the aftermath of a train accident in Greece, protests have erupted in the capital city of Athens. More than 20,000 employees who had previously announced a strike came together in Syntagma Square, located near the parliament building. The protest turned tense at times as the demonstrators faced off with the police. Some protesters hurled Molotov cocktails and stones, escalating the situation. The crowd chanted “The murderers” and “Their profits, our dead” while demanding that the government not cover up the accident and resign. Additionally, protesters demanded that railway operations be returned to the public sector and not remain in private hands. The situation remains tense in Athens as protests continue.
The death toll from the collapse of the Jet Set nightclub roof in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, has risen to 184, with 500 others injured.
Rescue efforts continue as teams from Israel and Puerto Rico join over 300 personnel on-site. Authorities believe no survivors remain under the rubble. Local reports say 500–1,000 people were inside the club, which has a 1,700-person capacity, at the time of the collapse.
