Several dead after gunfire in Austrian school
"Currently, a police operation is underway... The reason for the deployment was that gunshots were heard in the building," the police said on X, confirming the attack in Graz
According to Austrian public broadcaster ORF, citing police, a student was behind the shooting, which led to the school's evacuation.
Several serious injuries included students and teachers, according to police spokesman Fritz Grundnig quoted by the media.
Police and interior ministry officials could not immediately be reached by AFP.
Attacks in public are rare in the Alpine nation of almost 9.2 million people.

UK condemns Hong Kong's bounty offers for activists in Britain
LONDON: The UK government has strongly condemned Hong Kong authorities for offering financial rewards in exchange for information leading to the arrest of pro-democracy activists residing in Britain. Foreign Secretary David Lammy and Home Secretary Yvette Cooper issued a joint statement denouncing the move as 'another example of transnational repression.' Hong Kong police announced cash bounties ranging from $25,000 to $125,000 for information on 19 activists accused of violating the national security law imposed by Beijing in 2020. This marks the fourth such appeal by Hong Kong authorities, which has previously drawn criticism from Western nations. Lammy and Cooper urged China to cease targeting dissenting voices in the UK, reaffirming their commitment to protecting Hong Kong nationals who have relocated to Britain. Since 2021, around 150,000 Hong Kong residents have migrated to the UK under a special visa scheme. The statement also addressed concerns over potential changes to UK extradition rules, which some fear could lead to resumed extraditions to Hong Kong. The ministers emphasized, 'This Government will continue to stand with the people of Hong Kong, including those who have made the UK their home. We take the protection of their rights, freedoms, and safety very seriously.' - AFP

Thai woman escapes with beloved cats while under fire in Cambodia clashes
Pornpan Sooksai sitting with her cats as they take shelter in a gymnasium on the grounds of Surindra Rajabhat University in the Thai border province of Surin on July 25, 2025. - AFP) SURIN: When the first salvo of Cambodian artillery screamed across her village, Thai seamstress Pornpan Sooksai's thoughts turned to her five beloved cats: Peng, Kung Fu, Cherry, Taro and Batman. "I suddenly heard a loud bang," the 46-year-old told AFP. "Then our neighbour shouted, 'They've started shooting!' So everyone scrambled to grab their things." Nearly 140,000 people have been evacuated from the Thai frontier, fleeing with the belongings dearest to them as the country trades deadly strikes with neighbouring Cambodia for a second day. Pornpan was hanging out laundry in her village in the border district of Phanom Dong Rak, but did not hesitate to corral her quintet of cats -- even as the cross-border blasts rang out. "Luckily they were still in the house. I put them in crates, loaded everything into the truck, and we got out," she said at a shelter in nearby Surin city, camping out alongside her fellow evacuees. Tensions have been building between Thailand and Cambodia since late May, when a Cambodian soldier was shot dead in a firefight over a long-contested border region. Tit-for-tat trade curbs and border closures escalated into conflict on Thursday, and each side has accused the other of firing the opening shot in the battle now being waged with jets, artillery, tanks and troops. At least 16 people have been killed, according to tolls from both sides, the majority of them civilians. But Pornpan was well-prepared to save her felines. "Since I heard about the possible conflict two months ago, I stocked up on food and bought cat carriers," she said. "If I leave the cats behind, they'd die." Alongside her cats, Ponrpan also evacuated nine other family members, including her elderly mother with Alzheimer's. The process took its toll once the adrenaline wore off midway through their escape. "I was terrified the whole time. I was scared the bombs would hit us or the house," she said. "I had a panic attack in the car. My body went numb. I had to go to hospital during the evacuation." At the Surin city shelter her cats have been installed in their portable kennels -- drawing curious children waiting out the conflict alongside their parents on the gymnasium floor. Skittish from the sudden onset of gunfire, they are slowly recovering from their ordeal. "One kept trying to escape its crate, wouldn't eat and kept crying," Pornpan said. "Another one was panting -- maybe heatstroke. I had to splash water on it." - AFP

Thailand says over 100,000 civilians flee clashes with Cambodia
MORE than 100,000 people have fled the bloodiest border fighting between Thailand and Cambodia in a decade, Bangkok said Friday, as the death toll rose and international powers urged a halt to hostilities. A long-running border dispute erupted into intense fighting with jets, artillery, tanks and ground troops on Thursday, and the UN Security Council is set to hold an emergency meeting on the crisis later Friday. The Thai interior ministry said more than 100,000 people from four border provinces had been moved to nearly 300 temporary shelters, while the kingdom's health ministry announced that the death toll had risen to 14-13 civilians and one soldier. In the Cambodian town of Samraong, 20 kilometres (12 miles) from the border, AFP journalists reported hearing distant artillery fire on Friday morning. As the guns started up, some families packed their children and belongings into vehicles and sped away. 'I live very close to the border. We are scared because they began shooting again at about 6:00 am,' Pro Bak, 41, told AFP. He was taking his wife and children to a Buddhist temple to seek refuge. 'I don't know when we could return home,' he said. AFP journalists also saw soldiers rushing to man rocket launchers and speeding off towards the frontier. The fighting marks a dramatic escalation in a long-running dispute between the neighbours — both popular destinations for millions of foreign tourists — over their shared 800-kilometre (500-mile) frontier. Dozens of kilometres in several areas are contested and fighting broke out between 2008 and 2011, leaving at least 28 people dead and tens of thousands displaced. A UN court ruling in 2013 settled the matter for over a decade, but the current crisis erupted in May when a Cambodian soldier was killed in a new clash. Fighting on Thursday was focused on six locations, according to the Thai army, including around two ancient temples. Ground troops backed up by tanks battled for control of territory, while Cambodia fired rockets and shells into Thailand and the Thais scrambled F-16 jets to hit military targets across the border. Both sides blamed each other for firing first, while Thailand accused Cambodia of targeting civilian infrastructure, including a hospital hit by shells and a petrol station hit by at least one rocket. Thursday's clashes came hours after Thailand expelled the Cambodian ambassador and recalled its own envoy after five members of a Thai military patrol were wounded by a landmine. Cambodia downgraded ties to 'the lowest level' on Thursday, pulling out all but one of its diplomats and expelling their Thai equivalents from Phnom Penh. At the request of Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet, the UN Security Council will hold an emergency meeting on Friday to discuss the deadly clashes, diplomatic sources told AFP. The United States urged an 'immediate' end to the conflict, while Cambodia's former colonial ruler France made a similar call. The EU and China — a close ally of Phnom Penh — said they were 'deeply concerned' about the clashes, calling for dialogue. — AFP
