Nigeria Attack Leaves Over 170 Dead Amidst Global News
A suspected Islamist attack in Nigeria left at least 170 people dead in the remote village of Woro on Tuesday, according to a local lawmaker speaking to Reuters. The incident is one of the deadliest this year in a country already struggling with sectarian violence, Sky News reported.
Survivors told Reuters that the jihadist raiders demanded villagers embrace Sharia law. When the villagers resisted, the militants reportedly bound their hands behind their backs and executed them, officials claimed, according to Sky News.
The attack in Nigeria occurred on a day when other significant events unfolded across the globe. In Spain, Storm Leonardo brought heavy rain and flooding to Andalucía, Euronews reported. Approximately 3,000 people were evacuated in Cádiz, Jaén, and Málaga. Roads were cut off, homes were flooded, and high-speed trains were suspended. Schools were closed in all areas except Almería. Red alerts were issued for Grazalema, Ronda, and the Strait of Gibraltar, where forecasts predicted up to 150 liters of rain per square meter. Rivers rose to critical levels in at least 19 areas.
Portugal also faced severe weather conditions as Storm Leonardo swept across the country, causing flooding, power outages, and road closures, Euronews reported. In Alcácer do Sal, the River Sado overflowed due to hours of heavy rain, submerging streets and cutting off roads. Weather alerts remained in place across the Setúbal district, and rising Tagus waters forced the closure of riverside paths in Vila Franca de Xira.
Meanwhile, in Davos, President Ilham Aliyev of Azerbaijan discussed his country's strategy on global order, peace, and energy security with Euronews. He emphasized the importance of strong regional ties, strategic independence, and respect for international law, highlighting new opportunities for peace and cooperation in the South Caucasus and Azerbaijan's increasing role in European energy cooperation.
