ABUJA, July 28 (Xinhua) — At least 13 bodies have been found and dozens of people are missing after a wooden boat capsized in central Nigeria's Niger state, local emergency officials said Sunday.

Abdullahi Baba-Arah, head of the Niger State Disaster Management Agency, told Xinhua that the overloaded boat was carrying passengers, mostly traders, and agricultural produce from Gunu community to the weekly market in Kwata-Zumba, Shiroro district.

At least three people, including the boat operator, were rescued, he said, adding that the exact number of passengers on board was unknown because no passenger list had been compiled.

Rescuers, including local divers and volunteers, have joined the ongoing search and rescue efforts.

Nigeria is prone to frequent maritime accidents, often due to overloaded vessels, poor safety practices and adverse weather conditions. –0–

SANAA, July 28 (Xinhua) — Yemen's Houthi militant group said late Sunday it would begin targeting "all foreign ships linked to Israel, regardless of their destination," citing revenge for what it called Israel's "blockade and starvation" of Gaza.

“This escalation includes targeting all ships belonging to any company that deals with Israeli ports, regardless of their nationality and wherever they are, within the reach of our forces,” rebel-led military spokesman Yahya Saria said in a statement broadcast by the Houthi-run al-Masirah TV channel.

“We warn all companies to stop their operations with Israeli ports from the hour this statement is issued,” he said, calling on all countries to pressure Israel to stop its aggression and lift the blockade on the Gaza Strip “if they want to avoid this escalation.”

Earlier this month, the Houthis claimed responsibility for sinking two commercial vessels, the Magic Seas and the Eternity C, in the Red Sea. In 2024 alone, the group has attacked and sunk four vessels. In 2023, the Houthis seized the Galaxy Leader and detained its crew, who were later released through Omani mediation, though the vessel remains in Houthi custody.

The Houthi group, which controls much of northern Yemen, has been targeting Israel and its allied vessels in the Red Sea since November 2023 to show solidarity with the Palestinians and try to pressure Israel to end its military operations in Gaza. –0–

LONDON, July 28 (Xinhua) — U.S. President Donald Trump and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said on Sunday that the two sides have reached a trade deal under which the United States will impose a basic 15 percent tariff on goods from the European Union.

The statement was made at a joint press briefing on Sunday afternoon following talks at US President Donald Trump's golf club in Turnberry, Scotland.

Pharmaceuticals were excluded from the deal, while existing 50 percent tariffs on EU steel and aluminum exports to the United States will remain in place.

While both leaders described the deal as a step toward restoring “trade balance” and promoting more equitable bilateral trade, the agreement allows the United States to impose broad 15 percent tariffs on EU goods while providing zero-tariff access to a range of strategic American exports. In return, the EU has committed to purchasing $750 billion in American energy and investing an additional $600 billion in the United States.

At a press briefing, D. Trump said the agreement would allow American cars to re-enter the European market and make American agricultural exports more accessible to the EU. –0–

BEIJING, July 27 (Xinhua) — China will adhere to a fair and impartial attitude, continue to maintain close communication with Cambodia and Thailand, actively promote reconciliation and negotiation, and play a constructive role in promoting a ceasefire, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson said Sunday.

With international mediation, Cambodia and Thailand recently expressed their willingness to end hostilities, although clashes continue along the border between the two countries, according to media reports.

Answering a question about China's position on this situation, the official representative of the Chinese Foreign Ministry drew attention to the fact that Cambodia and Thailand have always been and will be neighbors to each other, and at the same time, both countries are friends and neighbors of China.

According to him, firmly adhering to the principle of good-neighborliness and mutual trust, as well as properly resolving differences, serve the fundamental and long-term interests of the two countries, as well as peace and stability in the region.

The official said China was deeply saddened by the casualties on both sides and expressed its sincere condolences.

As the diplomat pointed out, China hopes that both sides will proceed from the interests of the two peoples, cherish peace and good-neighborliness, maintain calm and restraint, reach a ceasefire at an early date, and peacefully resolve differences through dialogue and consultation, so as to restore peace and stability in the border areas at an early date.

Noting that Cambodia and Thailand are important members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), the spokesperson said ASEAN has been actively promoting a ceasefire between the two sides in recent days. China highly appreciates this and welcomes all efforts to help de-escalate the situation, he added. –0–

JERUSALEM, July 27 (Xinhua) — The Israeli military on Sunday announced a daily 10-hour humanitarian pause in military operations in parts of the Gaza Strip and opened safe routes for aid, amid growing international pressure over a worsening food crisis in the Palestinian enclave.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said in a statement that its forces would suspend military operations in areas including al-Mawasi, Deir al-Balah and Gaza City from 10:00 to 20:00 local time /07:00-17:00 GMT/ each day until further notice.

As specified, the designated safe corridors will be open daily from 06:00 to 23:00 /03:00-20:00 GMT/ to ensure unimpeded movement of UN convoys and humanitarian organizations that deliver and distribute food and medicine.

The Israeli army announced on Saturday evening that it had resumed airdrops of food supplies to the Palestinian enclave to ease the humanitarian crisis.

Since the start of the latest round of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, 127 people, including 85 children, have died from hunger and malnutrition, the Gaza Strip's health authority said on Saturday.

International condemnation of Israel continues to grow, with governments and humanitarian organizations calling Israel's blockade of Gaza a humanitarian catastrophe. –0–
