• Antisemitic Attack in Hamburg A violent antisemitic incident occurred in Hamburg, where a 26-year-old Jewish student was severely injured by a 29-year-old German Kazakh man wielding a shovel while entering a synagogue. The attacker was found with a swastika-marked paper, highlighting the hate-motivated nature of the assault. Foreign Minister Heiko Maas strongly condemned the attack as a manifestation of 'repugnant antisemitism'.
• New Caledonian Independence Referendum New Caledonia voted against independence from France, with 53.26% rejecting secession. The referendum saw high voter turnout, and French President Emmanuel Macron interpreted the result as a 'sign of confidence in the republic'.
• Cineworld Cinema Shutdown Cineworld announced a temporary closure of all its cinemas in the United Kingdom and United States due to significant financial losses of £1.3bn caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The shutdown potentially endangered over 5,500 jobs in the entertainment sector, reflecting the severe economic impact of the global health crisis.
• Migrant Boat Hijacking Tragedy off Djibouti A tragic maritime incident unfolded off the coast of Djibouti, where three unidentified smugglers hijacked a boat carrying migrants attempting to reach Saudi Arabia via Yemen.

• Prisoner Release in Mali The Malian interim government released 110 jihadists from a Bamako prison, following a previous release of 70 prisoners. This action was believed to be part of a strategic prisoner exchange aimed at securing the release of kidnapped opposition politician Soumaïla Cissé.
