UK anti-immigrant riots escalate amid Iran-Israel tensions
It happened while you were sleeping. Here's what global agencies reported on the night from Sunday to Monday.
- Anti-immigrant riots continue in the United Kingdom after the murder of three young girls in Southport near Liverpool. In Rotherham in northern England, participants of one demonstration stormed into a hotel where illegal immigrants were housed. The gathered crowd attacked the police officers guarding the building, throwing chairs and other objects at them. Later, a group of people broke through the police cordon and entered the hotel, attempting to set it on fire. Windows in the building were also shattered. At least one police officer was injured.
- Antony Blinken, U.S. Secretary of State, reportedly informed the foreign ministers of G7 countries that it is likely that an attack by Iran and Hezbollah on Israel could occur as early as Monday or Tuesday.
- Four Russian Kilo-class submarines have recently caused fear in the Black Sea. After the Ukrainians sank one of them—the "Rostov-on-Don," it became evident that it was only a matter of time before the other units would cease to be a threat. Currently, they cannot leave the Black Sea because Turkey is blocking the Bosporus.
- The German daily "Bild" reports that during the weekend, a Russian Il-76, typically used by the Russians to transport weapons, landed in Tehran. Additionally, Russian propagandists are spreading the theory that this is related to Moscow's involvement in the planned attack by Iran on Israel.
