Peshawar, Pakistan mosque: Suspected suicide attack kills more than 30 people and injures 125
CNN
—
A deadly blast inside a mosque in Pakistan’s northwestern city of Peshawar Monday was likely a suicide attack, according to authorities.
The powerful explosion left at least 31 people dead and 125 injured, according to Peshawar deputy commissioner Shafiullah Khan.
Rescue operations are now underway inside the mosque, which is situated inside a police compound in the city and is mostly attended by law enforcement officials.
No claims of responsibility have been made in relation to the attack so far, which took place in the middle of afternoon prayers.
In a statement to CNN, Peshawar Police Chief Mohammad Aijaz Khan said the blast inside the Police Lines Mosque was “probably a suicide attack,” echoing Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.
“The brutal killing of Muslims prostrating before Allah is against the teachings of the Quran,” Sharif said in a statement, adding that “targeting the House of Allah is proof that the attackers have nothing to do with Islam.”
“Terrorists want to create fear by targeting those who perform the duty of defending Pakistan,” the prime minister continued.
“Those who fight against Pakistan will be erased from the page.”
Sharif went on to say that “the entire nation and institutions are united to end terrorism” and that there’s a “comprehensive strategy” in the works in order to restore law and order in the northwest Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, where Peshawar is located.
Pakistan’s former leader Imran Khan, whose party the Pakistan Tehreek e Insaaf holds the provincial government of Khyber Pakhtunkwa also condemned the blast saying in a tweet that “it is imperative we improve our intelligence gathering & properly equip our police forces to combat the growing threat of terrorism.”
Iran earthquake kills 2, injures hundreds
CNN
—
At least two people were killed, and more than 500 injured when a 5.9 magnitude earthquake struck Iran on Saturday night local time.
Iran’s state news agency IRNA said the earthquake hit the city of Khoy, West Azerbaijan province, in northwest Iran, around 9:44 p.m. local time, citing the Iranian Seismological Center in Tehran.
At least 580 people were injured and 70 villages damaged, Iran’s semi-official Mehr news agency reported. It said that relief and damage assessment operations are underway.
The United States Geological Survey (USGS) also registered the quake as 5.9 magnitude.
“The tremor was so strong that it was felt in many regions of West Azerbaijan Province, causing concern among residents. It was also felt in several cities, including the provincial capital of Tabriz in the neighboring province of East Azerbaijan,” IRNA reported.
Times Square Attack on New Year’s Eve Injures 2 NYPD Officers – NBC New York
Police working New Year’s Eve detail in Times Square were wounded by a machete-wielding man who struck multiple officers in the head in what law enforcement are investigating as a possible targeted attack.
Federal and local authorities are digging into the background of 19-year-old Trevor Bickford, who allegedly attacked a group of NYPD officers outside a security screening zone in Times Square just after 10 p.m. Saturday, multiple law enforcement sources said.
Bickford, of Wells, Maine, allegedly approached the officers on Manhattan’s 8th Avenue between 51st and 52nd streets armed with a large knife he used to swing at three different officers, NYPD Commissioner Keechant Sewell said at an overnight press conference.
Sewell said the man dealt two of the officers blows to the head, giving an 8-year veteran a head laceration and a recent police academy graduate a skull fracture. All three NYPD members were taken to Bellevue Hospital and were expected to survive.
News 4 Police provide photo of machete allegedly belonging to 19-year-old suspect.
At least one officer fired upon the suspect, striking him in the shoulder. Police sources said the alleged attacker’s injuries are also non-life-threatening. A preliminary review shows the man has no previous arrests but he was known to federal and local law enforcement because of previous online postings, the sources added.
Law enforcement officials said they are looking into whether the man who allegedly attacked the officers had previously posted what they called jihadist writings online and traveled to New York City to target police.
“We believe this was a sole individual at this time, there’s nothing to suggest otherwise,” said Mike Driscoll, assistant director in charge of the New York FBI Field Office. The FBI’s Joint Terrorism task Force is also investigating.
The knife attack and gunfire startled a long line of crowds waiting to join the NYE celebrations. A local pizza shop employee said panicked revelers fled amid the chaos.
Police have closed down the immediate area for their investigation. The nearby New Year’s Eve celebration in Times Square was not impacted.
Crowd crush at Asake concert in London kills 1, critically injures 2
The crush occurred Thursday evening at O2 Academy Brixton, also known as Brixton Academy, a renowned concert venue in London where the Nigerian Afrobeats singer Asake was performing. “A large number of people were attempting to force entry” into the venue, police said. Videos showed a crowd spilling into a narrow entrance as people screamed and onlookers recorded the scene.
First responders performed CPR and first aid. They responded shortly after 9 p.m. Thursday to reports of the crush, police said. Eight people were hospitalized with apparent injuries from the episode, police said.
An autopsy was set to be conducted on Ikumelo on Sunday, police said. Chief Superintendent Colin Wingrove said in a statement that “an urgent investigation” into the episode was underway, noting that “this is still a fast moving and evolving picture and we are working to establish the events that led up to the incident.”
Police appealed to the 4,000 people estimated to have been at the event for photo and video submissions that may help piece together the circumstances that led to the crush. The venue for the sold-out concert can hold a maximum of nearly 5,000 people.
Ikumelo’s family said in a statement issued through the Metropolitan Police that the 33-year-old was a nursing graduate and an “adorable mother of two children who loved working with kids. She was well respected in the family for her care, kindness and love.”
Asake, the singer, said in a statement posted on social media that he had spoken with Ikumelo’s family and was “devastated by the news” of her death.
“I am overwhelmed with grief and could never have imagined anything like this happening,” he said, adding that he and his team were “awaiting the full debrief” from the venue and police “to determine what exactly led to all the disruption.”
London Mayor Sadiq Khan said he was “heartbroken that this could happen to Londoners in our city” and urged people with information about the situation to contact police. “I won’t rest until we have the answers their loved ones need and deserve,” he tweeted.
The fatal event in London follows the deaths of 11 people from a crowd crush at a concert in October in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo, on the same night a crowd crush in Seoul left 158 people dead. Earlier that month, a crush at an Indonesian soccer stadium killed at least 130 people.
Washington Post investigations into the crushes in Seoul’s Itaewon neighborhood and at the Kanjuruhan stadium in Malang, Indonesia, found serious missteps by officials in each tragedy — a slow police response and lack of crowd control in Seoul, and a barrage of tear gas and closed exits in Malang — that contributed to the high death tolls.
“Rogue wave” kills American woman, injures four others on Antarctic cruise ship
A U.S. woman died and four other passengers were injured when a massive wave smashed into an Antarctic cruise ship during a storm as it sailed off the southernmost tip of South America, officials said Friday. The 62-year-old woman was hit by broken glass when the wave broke cabin windows late Tuesday, Argentine authorities said.
The Viking Polaris cruise ship was sailing toward Ushuaia in Argentina — the main starting point for expeditions to Antarctica — when there was “a rogue wave incident,” a representative of the Viking cruise company said in a statement.
“It is with great sadness that we confirmed a guest passed away following the incident. We have notified the guest’s family and shared our deepest sympathies,” the statement said.

Neither the Viking statement nor the Argentine Naval Prefecture identified the woman or her hometown.
In a statement to CBS News, a U.S. State Department spokesperson confirmed the death and offered condolences to the family.
“We are offering all appropriate consular assistance,” the spokesperson said. “Out of respect for the family during this difficult time, we have no further comment.”
Four other tourists “sustained non-life-threatening injuries” and were treated onboard, the cruise line said.
“We wondered if we hit an iceberg,” Suzie Gooding, a passenger from North Carolina, told WRAL-TV. “And there are no icebergs out here, but that’s how it felt.”
Gooding told the station that the impact of the wave was “shocking.”
“Everything was fine until the rogue wave hit, and it was just sudden. Shocking,” Gooding said. “We didn’t know if we should get our gear ready for abandoning ship.”
The ship suffered minor damage and was anchored off Ushuaia, 3,200 kilometers (nearly 2,000 miles) from the capital Buenos Aires, with several windows smashed on the side, AFP journalists reported.
Viking said it was “investigating the facts surrounding this incident.”
Scientists often refer to rogue waves as extreme storm waves that surge out of nowhere, often in an unpredictable direction, and can look like a steep wall of water, up to twice the size of surrounding waves.
These rare killer waves were once seen as a myth reported by mariners or explorers. The polar explorer Ernest Shackleton wrote in his book of a “gigantic” freak wave he encountered in Antarctica in 1916.
However, scientists have learned more about them in recent decades, studying how they emerge and how to predict the wall of water that can surge up even in calm seas.
The Viking Polaris was launched in 2022 and is the newest ship in the company’s fleet.
The incident comes two weeks after two tourists died on another Antarctic cruise. The two men, aged 76 and 80, had left the World Explorer ship for an excursion on an inflatable zodiac boat which overturned near the shore.

Letter bomb injures one at Ukraine’s Madrid embassy, Kyiv ramps up security
MADRID/KYIV, Nov 30 (Reuters) – A security officer at Ukraine’s embassy in Madrid was injured when he opened a letter bomb addressed to the ambassador on Wednesday, prompting Kyiv to order greater security at all its representative offices abroad.
The letter, which arrived by regular mail and was not scanned, caused “a very small wound” on one finger when the officer opened it in the embassy garden, Mercedes Gonzalez, a Spanish government official, told broadcaster Telemadrid.
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba ordered all of Kyiv’s embassies abroad to “urgently” strengthen security and urged Spain to take investigate the attack, a ministry spokesman said.
The perpetrators, he added, “will not succeed in intimidating Ukrainian diplomats or stopping their daily work on strengthening Ukraine and countering Russian aggression.”
Ukraine’s ambassador to Madrid, Serhii Pohoreltsev, told TVE later that he was working as usual at the embassy “with no fear”.

“We have instructions from the ministry in Ukraine that given the situation we have to be prepared for any kind of incident… any kind of Russian activities outside the country,” he said.
Russia invaded Ukraine nine months ago in what it calls a “special military operation” that Kyiv and the West describe as an unprovoked, imperialist land grab.
The ambassador declined to give details of how the letter had been handled but said the injured worker had followed protocol and that the embassy would look into improving the system.
Spain’s High Court has opened a probe into the attack as a possible case of terrorism, a judicial source said.
Correos, the Spanish state-run postal company, told Reuters it is cooperating with the investigation.
The residential area surrounding the embassy in northwestern Madrid was cordoned off and a bomb disposal unit was deployed to the scene. Reuters footage showed scores of police officers, armed with assault rifles and blocking roads with vans, in the neighbourhood around the embassy.
