In France A skydiving plane crashed near Nancy in northeastern France around 11 a.m., killing all 11 people on board, according to the regional prefect. The dead included five students, five instructors, and the pilot. In U.S. agriculture The USDA has opened a $21 million facility to produce sterile flies, part of an effort to slow the spread of screwworm, a flesh-eating parasite that threatens livestock. Officials are moving to ramp up the supply as cases rise. In the Middle East Iran launched attacks on Bahrain and Kuwait after U.S. strikes, as the wider fighting raised fresh concern over the Strait of Hormuz and pushed ceasefire talks closer to collapse. Separately, one analysis says the conflict has already cost the average U.S. household between $775 and $1,300 in fuel and taxpayer costs. In Iraq Iraqi security forces arrested several politicians, lawmakers, and senior officials in dawn raids across Baghdad in what authorities described as an anti-corruption operation. In Europe Germany set a new heat record over the weekend, with the highest temperature measured in Brandenburg, the latest extreme since modern records began in the 19th century.
