The lad fell just after midnight, and two ambulances rushed to the scene. Tragically, there was nothing they could do to save him. Local police confirmed this morning he was a British national - but gave no further details on his identity. In a separate incident, Evan Thomson, 26, fell to his death at the same hotel exactly two weeks ago. It's understood he had been celebrating on holiday with pals following his birthday last month. Tragically, he too was pronounced dead at the scene. His mum Lel Kellighan broke the sad news on social media a few days later, saying: 'I'm absolutely heartbroken to write and tell you all, earlier this week my son Evan was in a tragic accident whilst on holiday with his friends in Ibiza and sadly passed away. 'We are all absolutely broken. Please allow us some time.' In the days after Evan's death, his loved ones raised questions about safety at Ibiza Rocks, and was critical over the hotel's handling of the situation. Evan's sister Teila said: 'Ibiza is known for its partying and it just stuns me that they don't have higher safety precautions. 'Pray nobody else suffers. And, once it did happen, the hotel's response was just completely heartbreaking; almost as if it never happened. I pray no other family has to go through this." Friend Blair Robertson, 25, who had been with Evan before he died, claimed: 'Security took us away to front desk. Paramedics didn't arrive for about 30 minutes. "Forensic officers didn't speak English. We were just standing there, not knowing what was going on. Reception gave us false hope." And a THIRD young Brit died from a fall in San Antonio last Monday. The 25-year-old died in hospital from injuries sustained when he fell from a supermarket car park in the town the previous day. He was rushed to an intensive care unit at a private island hospital following the incident. The clinic confirmed he died from his injuries, saying last Monday: 'Regrettably and despite all the efforts of medical personnel, the patient who fell yesterday in San Antonio has died due to the severity of his injuries."

In another tense and sleepless night for Kyiv residents, many were forced to rush to take shelter in underground stations. Explosions were heard across the city as air defence units engaged in repelling the attack. Ukraine's air force said that Russia launched 426 drones and 24 missiles overnight across the country. But only 23 drones hit their targets, officials added. Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said rescuers and medics were working on sites across four districts of the capital. A subway station in central Kyiv, commercial property, shops, houses and a kindergarten were damaged, city officials said. Meanwhile, Ukrainian drone attacks on Russia sowed chaos at major airports serving Moscow on early Monday. Thousands of passengers were forced to wait in long queues or sleep on the floor after flights were cancelled or delayed, Russian media reported. Russia's defence ministry said it had downed 117 drones overnight, including 30 over the Moscow region. On Sunday, officials claimed to have downed 172 drones, including 30 over the Moscow region.

Scottish Water warns fire hydrant vandalism can cause widespread disruption and put lives at risk
Utility is urging people not to set off fire hydrants and calling on anyone who witnesses this type of vandalism to report it to Police Scotland immediately. Scottish Water is warning the Lanarkshire public that fire hydrant vandalism can cause widespread disruption and put lives at risk. Following a recent spate of incidents, the utility is urging people not to set off fire hydrants and calling on anyone who witnesses this type of vandalism to report it to Police Scotland immediately. Such incidents can cause disruption of water supply to customers, reduced water pressure or discoloured water, and localised flooding in streets. They can also result in water supplies for firefighters being adversely impacted and so hamper their ability to tackle fires, with an obvious increased risk to lives and property damage. Fire hydrants are a connection point to water mains and allow access to the water network, primarily for firefighting purposes. The frequency of fire hydrant vandalism can increase during warm, dry weather and the school summer holidays and in previous years there have been a number of incidents, particularly in the Central Belt, which have wasted the valuable time of Scottish Water workers and firefighters and distracted them from other priorities. Whenever there are a number of these incidents Scottish Water has to bring in extra resources to tackle the problem and this means its ability to deal with water-related issues elsewhere can be adversely affected. Kevin Roy, Scottish Water's general manager of customer service, said: "Some people who vandalise fire hydrants may see their actions as 'harmless fun' but that's absolutely not the case. "The reality is that homes and businesses can experience low water pressure or a loss of supply. "Also, firefighters rely on these hydrants for fighting fires and a shortage of water could endanger people's lives and property." He added: "Fire hydrant vandalism is completely reckless and selfish and communities need to help us put a stop to this behaviour before the unthinkable occurs. "We're urging people to help us tackle the problem by reporting any incidents to the police immediately." Fire hydrants can be accessed legally only by Scottish Water, the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service and anyone who has been given permission from Scottish Water. Vandalising or setting off a fire hydrant could lead to a fine of up to £5000, according to the Fire Scotland Act 2005, Section 23.
