Strong winds caused a sandstorm in Qinghai province, northwest China. Due to the storm, the cities of Haixi, Tibet and Mongolia were covered with a cloud of dust. Transportation was disrupted. The wind speed reached 53 kilometers per hour, authorities reported. Visibility dropped to 181 meters, and some areas were plunged into darkness.
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.
