A 39-year-old man has died after being attacked by a shark while swimming off the coast of Queensland, Australia.

The incident occurred near the town of Cairns, and emergency services were called to the scene.

The man was retrieved from the water but succumbed to his injuries.

This is the second fatal shark attack in Australian waters in recent weeks, following a similar incident near Perth, Western Australia.

Popular swimming and surfing spots often have measures in place to prevent attacks.

The disaster is the worst mining accident in China since 2009.

A large-scale Russian attack on Ukraine resulted in four fatalities and dozens of injuries.

The Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, was a primary target, with other areas also affected.

Over 100 people were injured, and numerous residential buildings, a school, an opera house, and a museum were damaged.

Russia's defense ministry attributed the strikes to Ukraine's alleged attacks on civilian infrastructure, which Ukraine's military denies.

This attack comes amid ongoing tensions between Russia and Ukraine, which began with Russia's full-scale invasion in February 2022.

European leaders have condemned the strikes, which followed warnings from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that Russia was planning an attack.

The Russian defense ministry used the Oreshnik hypersonic missile, capable of traveling at over 10 times the speed of sound and carrying conventional or nuclear warheads.
