  • After pressure from the British Foreign Office, three British prisoners were released in Iran. They were taken by Iranian Navy patrol boats as they attempted to sail their boat to Abu Musa, a disputed island that is claimed by Iran and the United Arab Emirates.
  • Albania experiences its worst ever electricity shortage. Low water levels have caused hydroelectric power to be reduced to a minimum, resulting in blackouts across the entire country. Water supplies will not last more than two weeks so electricity is only available for six hours per day. The government will import power from Romania and Italy.
  • Near Kabul, capital city of Afghanistan, a cargo plane from Pakistan carrying 8-10 people collides with a vehicle. There are no survivors. It is not known what caused the crash.
