Dozens were killed during violent clashes following a controversial penalty at a local football match in Nzerekore, Guinea. Fans stormed the pitch, escalating the chaos. Prime Minister Amadou Bah Oury confirmed the fatalities, stating that authorities acted swiftly to restore order.
Local sources reported numerous injuries, including children, with several in critical condition.
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.
