Nigeria Attack Leaves Over 170 Dead Amidst Global News
At least 170 people were killed in a suspected Islamist attack on the remote village of Woro in Nigeria on Tuesday, according to a local lawmaker speaking to Reuters. The attack is one of the deadliest to occur in the country this year, which has been experiencing ongoing sectarian violence.
Survivors reported that the jihadist raiders demanded villagers embrace Sharia law. Officials claimed that victims had their hands bound behind their backs before being executed.
The attack in Nigeria occurred on a day filled with other significant global events. In Europe, Spain was reeling from Storm Leonardo, which caused widespread flooding and mass evacuations across Andalucía. Euronews reported that roads were cut off, homes were flooded, and approximately 3,000 people were evacuated in Cádiz, Jaén, and Málaga. High-speed trains were suspended, and schools were closed in most 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.
Meanwhile, in Ireland, police reported unprecedented success in tackling Dublin's drug gangs. According to Sky News, the Gardai recorded zero gangland gun murders in 2025, "for the first time in modern times" – believed to be at least 30 years. This success comes a decade after a notorious gangland hit at the Regency Hotel in 2016. Ninety-eight members of the two gangs were arrested.
Estonian President Alar Karis told Euronews that Europe must bolster its own defense capabilities so as to "not test Article 5" of NATO. He added the bloc has long been "naive" about its security. Karis expressed confidence that the United States would honor Article 5 of NATO's common defense, despite a turbulent phase for the transatlantic relationship under President Donald Trump.
