Russian attack kills 3 in Ukraine's city of Dnipro, governor says
KYIV, July 26 (Reuters) - Russia launched a barrage of drones and missiles in an overnight attack that killed three people in Ukraine's Dnipro and the nearby region on Saturday, Ukrainian officials said. Moscow's troops launched 235 drones and 27 missiles, damaging residential and commercial buildings and causing fires, the Ukrainian Air Force said. It said in a statement that 10 missiles and 25 attack drones hit nine sites. The rest of the drones and missiles were brought down, the Air Force said. "A terrible night. A massive combined attack on the region," Serhiy Lysak, the Dnipropetrovsk regional governor, said on the Telegram app. He said three people were killed in the attacks and six others wounded in the city of Dnipro and the nearby region. Lysak posted pictures showing firefighters battling fires, a residential building with smashed windows, and charred cars. President Volodymyr Zelenskiy vowed retaliatory strikes. "Russian military enterprises, Russian logistics, and Russian airports should feel that Russia's own war is now hitting them back with real consequences," Zelenskiy said on the Telegram app. Ukraine's attacks on Russia have heated up in recent months, with Moscow and Kyiv exchanging swarms of drones and fierce fighting raging along more than 1,000 kilometres of the frontline.

Five killed in courthouse attack in Iran's Sistan-Baluchestan province, Iranian media report
July 26 (Reuters) - An armed attack by the Sunni Jaish al-Adl Baluch group on a courthouse in Iran's restive southeastern Sistan-Baluchestan province killed at least five people and injured 13, Iranian media reported. Three assailants were also killed in the ensuing clashes with security forces, a senior police official told the state news agency IRNA. He said a mother and child were among those killed by the gunmen who threw a hand grenade into the building in Zahedan, the capital of Sistan-Baluchestan. In a statement posted on its Telegram account, Jaish al-Adl took responsibility for the attack and urged "all civilians to immediately evacuate the area of clashes for their safety". The Baluch human rights group HAALVSH, quoting eyewitnesses, said several judiciary staff members and security personnel were killed or wounded when the assailants stormed the judges' chambers. Sistan-Baluchestan province, near the borders with Pakistan and Afghanistan, is home to Iran's Sunni Muslim Baluch minority, who have long complained of economic marginalisation and political exclusion. The province frequently sees clashes between security forces and armed groups, including Sunni militants and separatists who say they are fighting for greater rights and autonomy. The Iranian government accuses some of them of ties to foreign powers and involvement in cross-border smuggling and insurgency.

Teenage footballer who died in M60 tragedy pictured as sister pays tribute
Israel Iyabor, aged 15, died on the M60 in Manchester and now his sister has told how he was a "very protective person" who was a very talented footballer but "never took himself too seriously" A sister has told of her "jokey and protective" 15-year-old brother in a tribute after he tragically died on a motorway. Emergency services were called to a stretch of the M60 ring road around Manchester near junction 20 for Blackley last Sunday (July 20) but they could not save Israel Iyabor. Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said they were called to reports of a "concern for welfare" and that a teenager, later confirmed to be Israel, died at the scene. His 17 year-old sister has now opened up on her family's grief after they launched an appeal to raise funds for his funeral. She described Israel as a "class clown" but a "very protective person." "He was protective of those close to him and those he loved" she said. "He would do anything for them and to protect them. "He was also very light-hearted and jokey. He never took himself too seriously. At school he was known as the class clown." Israel, from Middleton and who also has a 19-year-old brother, was a pupil at Co-op Academy North Manchester and was part of the youth setup at Hyde United FC. He also played for Manchester Panthers JFC. "He was very talented at football, he also liked to box and liked to go to the gym and do taekwando" his sister said. "He was very athletic, very sporty." His sister said that the family were 'hysterical' when they informed of the tragedy. "When police broke the news we were very emotional. It was such a shock." She said Israel was very close to his mother who had been left bereft. "She couldn't believe it" she said, reported the Manchester Evening News. "She was so shocked. We all are. Even now I am still shocked and trying to wrap my head around the whole thing. I sometimes catch myself thinking about him, or something reminds me of him, and I get emotional." "I feel people should check in on there loved ones" she added. "Mental thing is a real thing. A lot of people do struggle. And you never know what someone is going through." The family have now started a GoFundMe page as they seek to raise funds for the 'dignified burial that he deserves.' The page says: "With heavy hearts, we share the devastating loss of Israel, who was a very integral part of the lives he touched. Israel was a son, brother and most importantly a friend. Israel would often be described as a very light hearted, jokey and full of ambition. He was a comedic and care free person. "He relentlessly wore his heart on his sleeve. He was a shoulder to cry for those around him. It's heartbreaking that he only had such a short but impactful and unforgettable time on earth with us. He had a deep love for sports, specifically martial arts and football, which he excelled at. "He also had a deep devotion for his faith, actively participating in church and being involved within the youth sector at church. Although, his life came to an abrupt end, he touched many hearts whilst on earth. His death was shocking and unimaginable as he was such a big part of the community around him including his school, football team and friends and family. "Many teachers, friends, family have been left distraught by his abrupt death. He was truly a shining start and his memory will live on in all the lives he touched. We are now reaching out for support asking to be able to provide him with the dignified farewell that he deserves. "Our goal is to be able to fund the costs for his funeral, burial and memorial and support our family during such a devastating and distressing time. Any amount you can give, no matter how small, will make a difference in our life and he deeply appreciated. If you are unable to give please consider sharing this page to bring awareness." Police have passed a file to the coroner with an inquest expected to be opened in due course. An array of flowers and football shirts have been left near the scene of the tragedy. Hyde United held a minute's silence in his honour before their match against Curzon Ashton on Tuesday night. "Israel was more than just a talented young footballer — he was an influential, bubbly character whose energy, smile, and love for the game lit up every training session and matchday" the club said in a statement. "His coaches describe him as an absolute joy to coach and a privilege to watch on the pitch. Hyde United sends its deepest condolences to Israel's family, friends, teammates, and everyone who had the pleasure of knowing him. He will be deeply missed by all at the club. Rest in peace, Israel."
