France

Five people were killed in a series of shootings in northern France, including near a migrant camp in Loon-Plage, close to Dunkirk. A 22-year-old man has surrendered to police and confessed to the attacks, according to French media.

Cyclone Chido has wreaked havoc on Mayotte, a French Indian Ocean territory, with wind speeds exceeding 225 km/h (140 mph), flattening settlements and leaving hundreds feared dead. Rescue teams, including reinforcements from France, are working tirelessly to locate survivors amid widespread destruction and severe shortages of food, water, and shelter.
