Nine people were killed, and 15 others injured when a passenger bus collided with a fuel tanker on the Sefidabeh-Zahedan highway in Iran’s Sistan and Baluchistan province. Behruz Hanpur, head of Iran’s Highway Traffic Operations, stated the crash occurred at 10:15 local time and involved a bus traveling from Zahedan to Gorgan. Initial findings attribute the accident to poor terrain conditions and a sudden maneuver by the tanker driver. Rescue teams transported the injured to the hospital, and investigations are ongoing.
The area scorched by last month’s deadly forest fires in South Korea has been revised to 104,000 hectares—more than double initial estimates. The Korean Forestry Service reported extensive damage across South and North Gyeongsang provinces and Ulsan, with Uiseong suffering the worst losses.
The fires, which began on March 21, killed at least 31 people and are now considered the most destructive wildfires in the country’s history.
