INDIA: Indian authorities today imposed an indefinite curfew and shut down the internet in some parts of the north-eastern state of Manipur following protests from students against a fresh wave of ethnic violence, which has hit the state for more than a year.
At least nine people have been killed and several injured in the last 10 days as armed groups launched drone attacks and rockets from home-made devices.
ISRAEL: Tel Aviv said today that Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, a US activist who was killed in the West Bank last week, was likely shot “indirectly and unintentionally” by Israeli forces who were aiming at someone else.
