Yoshishugu Nagata, the official responsible for elderly policies in the city of Ashiya, Japan, announced that the world’s oldest person, 116-year-old Tomiko Itooka, died at a nursing home in Ashiya on December 29.

Tomiko Itooka, who was born in Osaka on May 23, 1908, during the reign of Emperor Meiji, became the “world’s oldest person” following the death of 117-year-old Maria Branyas last year.

The title of “world’s oldest person” was passed to 116-year-old Brazilian nun Inah Canabarro Lucas, who was born 16 days after Itooka.

Following peace talks in Istanbul, Russia and Ukraine resumed airstrikes. Ukrainian drone strikes in Sochi killed two and injured 11, leading to a four-hour suspension at Sochi Airport. Russia’s defense systems shot down 39 Ukrainian drones over the Black Sea and Sea of Azov.

Meanwhile, Russian attacks on Odessa injured at least four people, targeting the Pryvoz market, and strikes in the Cherkasy region injured seven. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy condemned the ongoing attacks despite ceasefire proposals discussed in Istanbul. The peace talks also resulted in an agreement for the exchange of military and civilian prisoners.
