More than 100 people were killed in a drone attack on a military academy in Homs, Syria, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. The attack, which took place during a graduation ceremony, resulted in the deaths of at least 14 civilians and a number of military personnel. No group has claimed responsibility for the attack. The Syrian military has condemned the "cowardly and unprecedented" assault and has vowed to respond with full force. In a separate incident, US-led forces reportedly shot down a Turkish drone in northern Syria, following Turkish attacks that had killed at least eight people.

The recent escalation in violence in northeastern Syria is believed to be linked to a bomb attack near the Turkish parliament, claimed by Kurdish militants. Lawyers representing alleged abuse victims of social media influencer Andrew Tate have accused him and his followers of attempting to intimidate their clients into silence. Tate, a former professional kickboxer, is facing charges of rape and human trafficking. He is also charged with forming a criminal gang to exploit women in Romania. Tate has denied the allegations made against him and has amassed a significant following on social media.

Lawyers from the US and UK are representing the victims and witnesses in both the UK and Romania cases. They have stated that these intimidation tactics will not deter their clients from pursuing justice.

Meanwhile, Turkish strikes on military and infrastructure targets in the Kurdish-controlled northeast of the country have killed at least nine people, according to Kurdish forces. Ankara has threatened retaliation in response to a bomb attack and has targeted regions controlled by the Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG). The Syrian Democratic Forces, backed by the US, deny that the bombers passed through their territory. The recent escalation in violence has raised concerns about the stability of the region.
