An armed attack on a daycare center in Thailand’s Nong Bua Lamphu province killed 34 people, including 22 children, and injured dozens more. After fleeing the scene, the attacker killed his wife, child, and himself in his own home, according to a Thai government spokesperson.
It is believed that the attacker, 34-year-old Panya Kamrab, a former police officer, was fired from his job due to his drug use, became depressed, and carried out the attack in retaliation.
Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Maria Zakharova confirmed that Russia officially recognizes Karabakh as part of Azerbaijan. The statement followed backlash over Russian Vice President Vladimir Medinsky’s remarks referring to the region as “disputed.”
Zakharova clarified that Medinsky was discussing the humanitarian aspect of the conflict and urged against misinterpreting his words. Azerbaijan’s Foreign Ministry criticized Medinsky’s comments and reminded that Russia’s official stance recognizes Karabakh as Azerbaijani territory.
