4 Killed in Bangkok Food Market Shooting
A deadly shooting at a popular food market in Bangkok left four security guards dead and one person injured on Monday, according to Thai police.
The incident occurred at the Or Tor Kor market near the busy Chatuchak area, which is frequently crowded, especially on weekends. Police say the gunman opened fire before taking his own life.
Deputy Chief of Bang Sue Police, Worapat Sookthai,
confirmed
the fatalities and stated that the motive is still under investigation. Authorities are working to identify the shooter and determine whether there is any link between the attack and ongoing border tensions between Thailand and Cambodia.
Thailand has seen some gun-related incidents in recent years, largely due to relatively easy access to firearms across the country. While mass shootings are not a daily occurrence, they are not uncommon in Thailand's urban centers.
Police have cordoned off the area and launched a full investigation into the background and potential motivations of the suspect.

1,000 Illegal Miners Arrested in Gold Mine Crackdown in South Africa
Israa Farhan South African authorities have detained nearly 1,000 undocumented foreign nationals for illegal mining activities at the historic Sheba Gold Mine in Mpumalanga province, police confirmed on Friday. The arrests were made as part of a large-scale security operation known as Operation Vala Umgodi, targeting illicit mining near the town of Barberton, close to the borders with Eswatini and Mozambique. According to police, those apprehended had been working underground without legal documentation and now face charges related to immigration violations and illegal mining. Authorities also indicated that some of the detainees may be underage. The week-long operation marks one of the most extensive crackdowns on illegal mining in recent years, with law enforcement warning that further arrests are likely. Barberton Mines, the owner of Sheba Gold Mine, has welcomed the action, stating that illegal mining severely undermines safety and economic stability. Sheba, one of South Africa's oldest and most lucrative gold mines, dates back to the 1880s and played a pivotal role in the country's gold rush. Despite remaining operational, the site has been plagued by theft and soaring operational costs, prompting efforts to restructure and secure its assets. Illegal miners, often referred to locally as zama-zamas, operate in both abandoned and active mines using rudimentary methods. Many are migrants from neighboring countries, while others are South African nationals who turned to illegal mining amid economic hardship. South Africa is home to about 6,000 abandoned mines, many of which have become hubs for unlawful mining operations. The latest crackdown reflects increasing government efforts to restore control over the country's troubled mining sector. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Arts & Culture Lebanese Media: Fayrouz Collapses after Death of Ziad Rahbani Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results

4 Workers Die After Falling into Manhole in Japan
Israa Farhan Four workers in Japan lost their lives after falling into a manhole during a sewage inspection in the city of Gyoda, authorities confirmed on Sunday. The men, all in their fifties, were part of a seven-member crew conducting a nationwide sewage pipe survey on Saturday. One worker reportedly fell into the manhole for unknown reasons. As three others attempted a rescue, they too fell inside. Emergency responders retrieved all four individuals, but they were later pronounced dead at a nearby hospital, according to local media reports. Preliminary investigations by the fire department revealed the presence of hydrogen sulfide, a highly toxic gas, near the site. Law enforcement also confirmed the gas was detected and suspect that inhalation may have played a role in the fatalities. The city of Gyoda has yet to confirm the cause of the incident. A municipal official, speaking anonymously, said it was too early to determine responsibility, noting that the full circumstances remain under investigation. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Arts & Culture Lebanese Media: Fayrouz Collapses after Death of Ziad Rahbani Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results

Korean Cultural Center Launches Traditional Korean Folk Painting Workshop
Nada Mustafa The Korean Cultural Center in Egypt inaugurated its Traditional Korean Folk Painting Workshop (Minhwa) today at its premises in Dokki. Running from August 3 to 5, the workshop offers participants a unique opportunity to explore the vibrant and symbolic world of minhwa, an integral part of Korea's artistic heritage. Organized by the Korean Cultural Center and curated by the King Sejong Institute Foundation, the workshop is part of the Sejong Culture Academy — a flagship cultural initiative that dispatches Korean culture experts worldwide to deliver immersive programs and foster global appreciation of Korean traditions. Led by distinguished Korean artists, the workshop provides hands-on training in traditional painting techniques, materials, and motifs. Participants will also gain deeper insight into the historical, cultural, and philosophical dimensions of minhwa, making the experience both creatively enriching and educational. The program is designed for students of the Sejong Institute at the Korean Cultural Center in Egypt, as well as local enthusiasts of Korean culture and art. 'Through this workshop, we aim to share a living aspect of Korean heritage and inspire Egyptian artists to connect with it,' said Mr. Oh Sung-ho, Director of the Korean Cultural Center. 'We hope this initiative strengthens cultural ties and promotes artistic dialogue between Korea and Egypt.' Minhwa paintings are renowned for their expressive style and rich symbolism, often depicting themes such as prosperity, longevity, and harmony. Popular motifs include the 'Four Gracious Plants' — plum blossom, orchid, chrysanthemum, and bamboo — representing the seasons and virtues in Korean philosophy, as well as everyday scenes, landscapes, and folkloric subjects. Known for their vivid colors and intricate detail, minhwa paintings embody both tradition and personal expression, continuing to resonate with contemporary audiences. This workshop is part of the Center's broader mission to promote cultural exchange and deepen mutual understanding between the peoples of Korea and Egypt through the arts. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Arts & Culture Lebanese Media: Fayrouz Collapses after Death of Ziad Rahbani Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results
