As Stenergard returned to her seat, she was targeted, prompting her to leave the chamber quickly.

Witnesses reported protestors shouting anti-Israel slogans, with tomatoes landing two rows behind her. Three individuals were detained by security and handed over to the police. Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson called for a full investigation and stronger security measures in parliament.

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.
