At least 4 children killed and 4 others injured in an attack with an ax and a knife at a kindergarten in Blumenau, in the Brazilian state of Santa Catarina. Police arrested the 25-year-old male suspect. Police told that suspect had jumped over a wall into the care center before attacking the children.
Governor Jorhginho Mello of Santa Catarina declared three days of mourning.
Iranian President Massoud Pezeshkian warned that Israel would “regret” its attack on Iran, following massive Israeli airstrikes on key military and nuclear sites. “The Zionist regime will regret its action today,” Pezeshkian said, adding that a special cabinet meeting was immediately convened in response to the strikes.
Meanwhile, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Arakchi submitted a formal letter to the United Nations, condemning the attacks as violations of international law and describing them as “state-sponsored terrorism.” He stated, “Israel has now crossed all red lines,” calling the strikes war crimes under the Geneva Conventions.
Arakchi also emphasized the risk of a radiological disaster at the Natanz Nuclear Facility and demanded an emergency UN Security Council meeting, warning that Iran will respond in a “determined and proportionate” manner.
