In Mozambique, a tragic incident occurred as a boat capsized, resulting in the loss of 94 lives, with 26 individuals still missing. The boat, initially a fishing vessel, was being used for transportation beyond its capacity without authorization. INSTRASMAR manager Lourenco Machado confirmed the details, highlighting that the boat was overloaded with 130 passengers and faced a heavy wave while en route from Lunga to Mozambique Island. Nampula State Minister Jaime Netoise mentioned that the passengers were fleeing a cholera outbreak, emphasizing the boat’s unsuitability for passenger transport.
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.
