“We are saddened to announce that this is a fatal incident,” fire officials said on Twitter. “It is unknown how or why the victim was in the water.”

  • Ukrainian officials thank the US for its latest military aid to help stop Russia's onslaught

    Ukrainian officials on Wednesday expressed thanks for a fresh batch of U.S. military aid that threw Kyiv’s armed forces a lifeline in their more than two-year war with Russia, even though the vital new supplies aren’t expected to have an immediate impact on the battlefield. Ukrainian troops have faced acute shortages of shells and air defense systems as political quarrels in Washington held up the aid for months, allowing the Kremlin’s forces to edge forward in some parts of eastern Ukraine by sheer weight of troop numbers and firepower in what has largely become a war of attrition. The U.S. decision came as the Kremlin’s army extended its bombardment of the Kharkiv region and Ukrainian long-range drones struck more fuel and energy facilities inside Russia.

  • GLOBAL MARKETS-Shares jump on tech boost; fragile yen on intervention watch

    World stocks rose on Wednesday led by tech names as investors' focus shifts to earnings from U.S. megacap bellwethers this week, while the yen remained mired near 34-year lows, keeping traders wary of intervention from Japanese authorities. An after-hours surge in shares of electric vehicle maker Tesla, following its promise of new models, and upbeat earnings from some U.S. companies lifted sentiment, spurring a rally in tech stocks in Asia, where the sector rose 3.7% and Europe, where it gained 2.5%. Europe's broad STOXX 600 was 0.2% higher, as that rally in tech stocks - also helped by a 10% surge in wafer maker ASM International on raised revenue forecasts - met soft earnings from drugmaker Roche and luxury goods maker Kering, whose shares fell to their lowest since 2017.
