Due to an avalanche that occurred in the Nathu La Mountain Pass in the state of Sikkim in northeastern India, six people died and thirty were injured. Search and rescue teams stated that the people who lost their lives were tourists. Teams are looking for at least 70 people who were stranded in the region.
Thousands of tourists flock to Sikkim every year, located under the third-highest mountain in the world, Khangchendzonga.
Andriy Portnov, former aide to ex-Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych, was shot dead in Madrid’s upscale Pozuelo de Alarcon district. Spanish authorities say unidentified gunmen opened fire as the 52-year-old was dropping off his children at school, striking him in the back and head before fleeing.
Portnov, a former MP and lawyer, fled Ukraine with Yanukovych in 2014, briefly returned in 2019, and was later sanctioned by the U.S. for alleged judicial corruption.
