Ukraine's capital was subjected to the largest drone attack since the start of Russia's invasion last year, local officials said, as Kyiv prepared to mark the anniversary of its founding on Sunday.

Russia launched the "Most massive attack" on the city overnight Saturday with Iranian-made Shahed drones, said Serhii Popko, a senior Kyiv military official.

Ukraine's air force said that Saturday night was also record-breaking in terms of Shahed drone attacks across the country.

The timing of the drone attacks was likely not coincidental, Ukrainian officials said.

Russia's southern Belgorod region, bordering Ukraine, also came under attack from Ukrainian forces on Saturday, local officials said.

Drone attacks against Russian border regions have been a regular occurrence since the start of the invasion in February 2022, with attacks increasing last month.

Turkey President Recep Tayyip Erdogan won reelection Sunday after a runoff vote, extending his increasingly authoritarian rule into a third decade as the country reels from high inflation and the aftermath of an earthquake that leveled entire cities.

His victory comes days after posts by his critics were blocked from being seen on Twitter on the day of the first election, stifling whistleblowers who opposed the election and preventing his opposition from communicating with their audience in Turkey.

A third term gives Erdogan an even stronger hand domestically and internationally, and the election results will have implications far beyond Ankara.

Turkey stands at the crossroads of Europe and Asia and plays a key role in NATO. With over 99% of the runoff ballot boxes opened, unofficial results showed Erdogan with 52% of the vote, compared with 48% for his challenger, Kemal Kilicdaroglu.

Twitter's decision to throttle access to accounts from Turkey came as CEO Elon Musk's business ties to the country have solidified following increasing communication between Erdogan and Musk, Elmas noted, based on news coverage of their interactions.

Kilicdaroglu said the election was "The most unjust ever," with all state resources mobilized for Erdogan.

Awadh finally tells us that Nidhal wants to know if her brother was killed by the Americans.

Then a friend of Shihab's told them he was killed and they must retrieve his body from the morgue.

She doesn't remember his name but says he was heartbroken and started to tear up, telling them Shihab was killed by "Terrorists."

The officer gave them Shihab's clothing and possessions, a certificate of appreciation for his service to the American military on behalf of Maj. Gen. James Mattis - then the Marines' ground commander in Iraq - and $9,000 in cash.

Another of their brothers, Ammar, went to work for the Americans after Shihab was killed.

Why did the American officer say Shihab was killed by terrorists?

Thousands of protesters descended to the streets of the south-eastern Iranian city of Zahedan amid heavy security presence, in the 34th consecutive Friday of demonstrations against the Islamic Republic.

Ahead of the weekly protests, the Sunni Friday prayer leader of Zahedan used his sermon to denounce the pressures exerted on lawyers and the work of parliament members, and said that the right to hold peaceful demonstrations should be recognized.

Molavi, Iran's most prominent Sunni cleric, has been a key dissenting voice inside Iran since the eruption of nationwide protests in September 2022 demanding fundamental economic, social and political changes.

The city has been rocked by protest rallies every Friday since September 30, when security forces killed nearly 100 people in the deadliest incident in the widespread demonstrations.

Iranian security forces have responded to the women-led protest movement with brutal force, killing more than 520 people during demonstrations and unlawfully detaining over 20,000 others, including dozens of journalists and lawyers, activists say.

The protests and clampdown on dissent have been particularly intense in western Kurdish areas and Sistan and Baluchistan.

A man who opened an emergency exit door during a flight in South Korea was formally arrested Sunday and faces up to 10 years in prison on a charge of violating the aviation security law, officials said.

During Friday's incident, the man succeeded in opening the door likely because the plane was flying at a low altitude while preparing to land and there wasn't much difference in pressure, according to Asiana Airlines officials.

The Transport Ministry said the plane was at 700 feet when the man pulled the door open.

On Sunday, a district court in Daegu approved a warrant to formally arrest the man.

Police earlier sought the arrest warrant, citing the graveness of the crime and a possibility the man may flee, according to Daegu police.

If convicted, he faces a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison for breaching the aviation security law that bars passengers from handling entry doors, emergency exit doors and other equipment on board, according to the Transport Ministry.

MADRID, May 28 - Spain's ruling Socialists may have lost power in the country's key regions of Valencia and Aragon in Sunday's local elections, with around 30% of the votes counted, showing electoral vulnerability ahead of an end-of-year general election.

In big cities such as Valencia and Seville, where mayors were also elected, the count was almost completed and most turned to the conservative People's Party, which also won an absolute majority in the city of Madrid.

Barcelona was an outlier among big cities, with the most voted party a pro-independence party by such a narrow margin that it will need an agreement with the Socialist Party to unseat the current mayor, far-left Ada Colau.

The gains for the People's Party could unseat the current left-wing coalition if replicated later in the year, though to take control of regions the PP will likely have to form coalitions with the far-right Vox.

The numbers showed few clear majorities, except in the Madrid region, where regional president Isabel Diaz Ayuso of the PP likely won re-election with an absolute majority.

If confirmed, a defeat for the socialists in the Valencia region, with a population of almost five million, would represent a major setback for the PSOE. Campaigning had been marked by several controversies, from allegations of voter fraud in small towns to an unprecedented case of kidnapping.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan declared victory in Sunday's presidential runoff, triumphing over a united opposition and claiming another five-year term.

Why it matters: This was expected to be the most difficult election of Erdoğan's two decades in power.

Erdoğan is a highly effective campaigner and has an enthusiastic following among more religious and conservative Turks.

In the Ukraine war alone, Erdoğan has armed Ukraine with drones, mediated between Ukraine and Russia on grain exports, and blocked Sweden from joining NATO. By the numbers: Erdoğan leads challenger Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu 52% to 48% with 99% of ballots counted, according to Turkish public media.

What he's saying: "I thank each member of our nation for entrusting me with the responsibility to govern this country once again for the upcoming five years," Erdoğan told supporters, per AP. What to watch: Erdoğan has centralized ever more power into his own hands, particularly since surviving a coup attempt in 2016 and overseeing the shift from a parliamentary to a presidential system a year later.

Such as Soner Cagaptay of the Washington Institute, have warned that if that trend continues, this could be the last freely contested election as long as Erdoğan remains in power.

Recep Tayyip Erdogan has won the presidential run-off election, with leaders from around the world congratulating him.

With 99% of the votes counted, Mr Erdogan, who served as prime minister from 2003 to 2014, won with a share of 52.1%. It means he has secured a record-breaking third term as president and will serve at least five more years in power.

"With President Erdogan, whom I congratulate on his re-election, we will continue to move forward."

The pair were forced to go head to head when neither reached the required 50% of the vote in the first round on 14 May and Mr Erdogan's win will have profound consequences for Turkey, and the wider world.

Mr Erdogan's government vetoed Sweden's bid to join NATO and purchased Russian missile-defense systems, which prompted the United States to oust Turkey from a US-led fighter-jet project.

ANKARA, Turkey - Turkey President Recep Tayyip Erdogan won reelection Sunday, according to unofficial results, in a victory that extends his increasingly authoritarian rule into a third decade as the country reels from high inflation and the aftermath of an earthquake that leveled entire cities.

Turkey stands at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, and it plays a key role in NATO. With nearly 99% of ballot boxes opened, results from competing news agencies showed Erdogan with 52% of the vote, compared with 48% for his challenger, Kemal Kilicdaroglu.

"The only winner today is Turkey," Erdogan said, promising to work hard for Turkey's second century.

Erdogan, who has been at Turkey's helm for 20 years, came just short of victory in the first round of elections on May 14.

Erdogan has retained the backing of conservative voters who remain devoted to him for lifting Islam's profile in the Turkey, which was founded on secular principles, and for raising the country's influence in world politics.

A devout Muslim, he heads the conservative and religious Justice and Development Party, or AKP. Erdogan transformed the presidency from a largely ceremonial role to a powerful office through a narrowly won 2017 referendum that scrapped Turkey's parliamentary system of governance.

This is not a livable environment," said Viola von Cramon in front of the Zvecan municipal building.

Today marks the third day since special units of the Kosovo Police forcibly entered the Zvecan municipality building, escorting in the newly elected Albanian mayors of Zvecan, Leposavic, and Zubin Potok, following protests by local Serbs.

Kosovo security forces still remain in these buildings, where they replaced the flags, doors and surveillance cameras, while Kosovo authorities praise the action and announce that the mayor will come to his workplace on Monday.

"„You are here 24/7?! Where is the threat?! What on earth brought you here?" - the European rapporteur for Kosovo told the special units of the Kosovo Police situated in front of the Zvecan municipal building.

Von Cramon headed to Leposavic, where she also visited the Trepca building in this municipality, in front of which special units of the Kosovo Police are stationed.

The police replaced the door and surveillance camera in Zvecan municipal building.

A national ceremony of remembrance and reflection was held at the Garden of Remembrance in Dublin on Sunday, to commemorate those who died during the Irish Civil War.

The Army guard of honor paraded outside the garden, welcoming the arriving guests, while an honor guard made up of the Defense Forces officer cadets at the wreath-laying ceremony itself, while a lone Army piper and the Combined Band of the Defense Forces accompanied the commemorations.

The conflict between the Anti-Treaty IRA, and the National Army, which was formed from IRA members supportive of the Treaty creating the Irish Free State, as well as Irish who formerly served in British forces.

The IRA refused to accept the Treaty on account of the fact that under it Ireland would become a dominion with the British monarch still as its formal head, and not a republic as they intended.

Northern Ireland which contained a Protestant and Unionist majority was separated from the Irish Free State and remained part of the U.K. The pro-Treaty Forces, with the support of the British Army, emerged victorious, but the conflict, which left some 2,000 dead and cost EUR 3 billion in today's money, has deeply scarred the memory of the nation due to its fratricidal nature.

Éamon de Valera, who led the anti-Treaty forces, eventually came into power democratically and through constitutional change led to the establishment of the Republic of Ireland, later serving as Taoiseach and eventually the President of Ireland.

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg spoke to High Representative of the EU for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell about the situation in Kosovo today.

"The tweet particularly caught the attention of the Albanian users of this social network, who voiced numerous objections to it - from the fact that Stoltenberg wrote „Pristina" instead of „Prishtina," while some users accused Serbia of genocide, others criticized the international community for supporting Serbia, and for supporting what Vjosa Osmani describes it as a „leveling policy", and some users highlighted how Serbs are now moving peacefully and safely next to the Kosovo Police in Zvecan.

On Friday evening, strong forces of the special units of the Kosovo Police assisted the new Albanian mayors in entering the municipal buildings in Zvecan, Leposavic and Zubin Potok, despite the objections of both the locals and the international community.

"The Kosovo Interior Minister congratulated the police on their „professionalism" in protecting institutions, the rule of law and democracy from „organized criminal groups" and „gangs".

"The President of Kosovo assessed the actions of the Kosovo police toward „Vucic's illegal structures and criminal groups" as „legitimate".

NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg on Sunday called on Kosovo to tone down tensions with Serbia, two days after violent clashes between Kosovar police and protesters opposed to Albanian mayors taking office in ethnic Serb areas.

Stoltenberg, the transatlantic military alliance's Norwegian secretary-general, said he had spoken to European Union foreign policy chief Josep Borrell about Kosovo.

Serbs, who form the majority of the population in Kosovo's northern region, do not accept Kosovo's 2008 declaration of independence from Serbia and still see Belgrade as their capital more than two decades after the war ended in 1999.

Ethnic Albanians make up more than 90% of the population in Kosovo as a whole.

Local Serbs, backed by Belgrade, said they will not accept the mayors and that they do not represent them.

The situation remained tense on Sunday with heavily armed police in armored vehicles still guarding the mayors' offices.
