Four people, including two personnel from the US consulate and two police officers, were killed in an attack on a US convoy in Nigeria's southeastern Anambra state. Three others were kidnapped. The personnel who were killed were not US citizens. Joint security forces have launched a rescue and recovery operation in the area. The US State Department is working with Nigerian security services to investigate the incident.
A U.S. diplomatic convoy was attacked by gunmen affiliated with the Sudanese Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia in Khartoum, according to Secretary of State Antony Blinken. Although there were no immediate reports of casualties, the incident marks another escalation in the fighting in Sudan and is the latest in a series of attacks on foreign diplomats and international organizations in Khartoum. Blinken called the attack "reckless and irresponsible" and proposed a 24-hour humanitarian ceasefire in Sudan to allow the delivery of aid and a more stable cessation of hostilities.
