Jordan
The death toll from a building collapse in the Jordanian capital Amman has risen to 10 as rescuers continue to comb through the rubble looking for survivors and bodies. On Wednesday, a toddler was pulled out alive. It is still unclear what caused the four-story apartment building to fall down on Tuesday. Authorities, though, are reported to have swiftly charged the building’s owners, its maintenance contractor and its maintenance technician with several counts of causing death and harm.

Armenia-Azerbaijan
A delicate ceasefire appears to be holding between Armenia and Azerbaijan after two days of fighting that left 176 soldiers dead. The longtime foes are hurling blame at each other for starting the violence, with Armenia saying 105 of its soldiers were killed and Azerbaijan saying it lost 71. The neighbors fought a war in 2020 over the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region, which they have both claimed for decades.

India
A horrific story out of India. The bodies of teen sisters, aged 15 and 17, have been found hanging from a tree in the northern Uttar Pradesh state, and police suspect they were gang raped and murdered. Six suspects have been arrested. The girls were from the marginalized Dalit community, who were once referred to as “untouchables” and who occupy the lowest position in India’s complicated caste system. The case, far from the first of its kind in the region, has caused uproar in the country.
