**Kenya**: Protests have erupted in Nairobi after a blogger, Albert Ojwang, died in police custody under controversial circumstances. A post-mortem revealed he was hit on the head and his death was likely caused by assault.

**Zambia**: The family of former President Edgar Lungu has halted his body's return, accusing the government of breaching funeral agreements. A deal has since been reached, and funeral arrangements have been finalized.

**Israel and Iran**: Israel and Iran have exchanged attacks, with Iran launching air strikes on Israel and Israel responding with a major attack on Iran. The conflict has raised concerns of escalation and expansion.
