Iran protest death toll nears 6,000 as Tehran warns US

A U.S.-based rights group says nearly 6,000 people have been killed in Iran’s ongoing protest crackdown, as Tehran warns Washington against any form of intervention. The demonstrations, which began in late December over economic hardship, quickly evolved into mass protests against the Islamic republic, with huge rallies from January 8 and a nationwide internet shutdown now in its 18th day.​ The Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA) said it has confirmed 5,848 deaths, including 209 security personnel, and is still investigating a further 17,091 possible fatalities. It also reported at least 41,283 arrests. By contrast, Iranian authorities last week gave an official toll of 3,117 dead, mostly described as security forces or bystanders killed by “rioters”.​ Rights monitors accuse security forces of firing directly at protesters under cover of the internet blackout. NetBlocks said the shutdown is “obscuring the extent […]

Death toll from Iran unrest nears 2,600, rights group reports

The death toll from weeks of anti government unrest in Iran has climbed to almost 2,600 people, according to a US based human rights group. HRANA said it has so far verified the deaths of 2,403 protesters and 147 members of the security forces and other government affiliated individuals.​ An Iranian official separately told Reuters that about 2,000 people had been killed, marking the first time a figure in that range has been acknowledged by someone inside the system. The authorities have accused the United States and Israel of fomenting the unrest and say “terrorists” have attacked security forces, mosques and public property.​ The protests began on December 28 over soaring inflation but have since turned into one of the biggest challenges to Iran’s clerical rulers since the 1979 Islamic Revolution. Demonstrations have spread nationwide, with funeral marches, strikes and […]

Asia floods death toll passes 1,200

Severe monsoon floods sweeping across several Asian countries have killed more than 1,200 people and forced millions from their homes, as rescue teams struggle to reach many isolated communities.​ Days of relentless rain have triggered rivers to overflow, landslides to cut off key roads and villages, and widespread destruction of homes, farms, and basic infrastructure.​ India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Pakistan, and parts of Southeast Asia are among the worst‑hit, with authorities reporting rising casualty figures as more bodies are recovered and remote areas become accessible.​ Rescue workers, soldiers, and volunteers are using boats and helicopters to evacuate stranded residents, deliver food, clean water, and medical supplies, and move survivors into crowded temporary shelters.​ Governments and international agencies have warned of heightened risks of waterborne diseases, hunger, and further displacement, calling for urgent humanitarian support and longer‑term investment in climate resilience and […]

Aftershock Rocks Bangladesh as Quake Death Toll Rises to 10

A low-magnitude aftershock hit Bangladesh on Saturday, following a powerful 5.5-magnitude earthquake near Dhaka that killed at least 10 people and left hundreds injured. The initial quake damaged homes and infrastructure across affected districts, causing widespread fear and displacement. Saturday’s 3.3-magnitude aftershock centered in Ashulia, north of the capital, heightened public anxiety and revealed further cracks and destruction. Emergency operations are underway to assess damage and coordinate rescue efforts, as officials warn Bangladesh’s geography makes it highly vulnerable. Meteorologists note aftershocks are common; no major quakes have hit the region in over 100 years. Residents near the epicenter report unprecedented fear and damage, urging continued government support and vigilance.

Death Toll from Russian Gunpowder Factory Blast Climbs to 20

The number of people killed in Friday’s explosion at a gunpowder factory near Moscow has risen to 20, with more than 130 others injured, local authorities confirmed on Monday. The blast occurred at the Elastik gunpowder and ammunition plant in Ryazan, about 200 kilometres southeast of Moscow. Initial reports had put the death toll at 11.
