Powerful 6.9 quake hits northern Japan, tsunami advisory issued
TOKYO — A powerful magnitude 6.9 earthquake struck off the coast of northern Japan on Sunday evening, triggering a tsunami advisory and a series of aftershocks, the Japan Meteorological Agency said.

Ukrainian strikes hit Russian energy systems in Voronezh and Belgorod, officials say
KYIV — Nighttime Ukrainian strikes disrupted power and heating in two major Russian cities near the Ukrainian border, local Russian officials said Sunday, as both countries continue near-daily attacks on each other’s energy infrastructure amid stalled diplomatic efforts. In Voronezh, a drone strike triggered temporary blackouts and cut heating to parts of the city, regional Gov. Alexander Gusev said. Several drones were electronically jammed, but one sparked a fire at a utility facility that was quickly extinguished. Russian and Ukrainian Telegram channels reported that a thermal power plant was targeted. Late Saturday, a missile strike caused “serious damage” to power and heating systems serving the city of Belgorod, Gov. Vyacheslav Gladkov said. About 20,000 households were...

Eight Palestinians injured in attacks by Israeli settlers in West Bank and East Jerusalem
RAMALLAH — Eight Palestinians were injured Sunday in a series of assaults by illegal Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem, according to local rights groups and residents. The Bedouin rights group Al-Baidar said settlers attacked the Al-Arara Bedouin community north of occupied East Jerusalem with stones and sticks, injuring seven people. The attackers also burned container homes and caused significant property damage. Al-Baidar warned that the ongoing assaults pose “a direct threat to the stability of the people and their presence on their lands and pave the way for forced displacement.” In the southern West Bank, settlers assaulted Palestinians in the Umm al-Khair village of Hebron while they were working on their land, local sources told Anadolu. One young...

Iraq begins special voting for security forces and displaced citizens ahead of elections
BAGHDAD — Iraq launched its special voting process on Sunday, allowing more than one million military personnel and thousands of internally displaced citizens to cast ballots ahead of the country’s parliamentary elections. Polling stations opened at 7 a.m. local time (0400 GMT) and will operate until 6 p.m. (1500 GMT). The Iraqi News Agency (INA) said more than 1.3 million members of the army and security forces are eligible to vote across 809 polling centers containing 4,501 stations nationwide. The early voting enables security personnel — who will be responsible for protecting polling centers on Nov. 11, the day of general voting — to exercise their constitutional right. In addition to the security forces, 26,538 internally displaced Iraqis are expected to vote on Sunday at 97...

Rodrigo Paz sworn in as Bolivia’s president, ending 20 years of MAS rule
LA PAZ, Bolivia — Rodrigo Paz, the center-right candidate who won Bolivia’s presidential runoff on Oct. 19, was sworn in Saturday before parliament to begin his 2025–2030 term, ending two decades of rule by the Movement for Socialism (MAS). Paz received the presidential sash during a ceremony in Congress in the administrative capital of La Paz. In his inaugural address, he sharply criticized the economic legacy left by previous governments, saying he was inheriting “a destroyed country.” “They left us with a collapsed economy, the lowest international reserves in 30 years, inflation, shortages, debt, and insecurity,” he said. “Corruption has practically become state policy. We are saying enough to ideologies that can no longer put food on the table.” Paz also accused...

Tens of thousands protest in Lisbon against proposed labor reforms
LISBON — Tens of thousands of people marched through Portugal’s capital on Saturday to protest proposed labor reforms that unions say would erode workers’ rights and undermine job security. The center-right government is pushing legislation that would make it easier for employers to fire workers, outsource jobs to third-party companies, and limit certain types of compassionate leave — including reducing bereavement leave for women who suffer miscarriages. Officials argue the measures are needed to boost flexibility and productivity in one of Western Europe’s poorest economies. Portugal’s largest union, CGTP, denounced the proposals as “one of the greatest attacks ever made against workers” and announced a nationwide general strike for Dec. 11. The bill is expected to pass...
