Iran said Monday it hanged a man accused of spying for Israel, the latest as Tehran carries out its largest wave of executions in decades.

Iran identified the executed man as Bahman Choobiasl, whose case wasn't immediately known in Iranian media reports or to activists monitoring the death penalty in the Islamic Republic. However, the execution came after Iran vowed to confront its enemies after the United Nations reimposed sanctions on Tehran over its nuclear program this weekend.

An ex-Marine smashed a pickup into a Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints church in Michigan, opened fire and set the building ablaze during a crowded Sunday service and then was fatally shot by police. At least four people were killed and eight wounded, and authorities were searching the building ruins for more victims.

The attack occurred about 10:25 a.m. while hundreds of people were in the building in Grand Blanc Township, outside Flint.

Iran on Sunday condemned as "unjustifiable" the reinstatement of United Nations sanctions over its nuclear program, after the collapse of talks with Western powers and Israeli and U.S. strikes on its nuclear sites.

Russia launched hundreds of drones and missiles at Ukraine overnight, wounding dozens across the country and killing at least four people, including a 12-year-old girl, in the capital alone, Kyiv said Sunday.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian on Saturday slammed as "unacceptable" what he described as U.S. demands that Tehran hand over its enriched uranium, as sweeping U.N. sanctions loomed after nuclear talks collapsed.

After a Ukrainian woman who fled war in her home country was stabbed to death on a commuter train in North Carolina, the alarming act of violence ignited bitter racial and political rhetoric about crime victims and perpetrators in America.

The fatal attack last month, in which the alleged perpetrator was identified as a Black man, evoked such visceral reactions partly because it was caught on surveillance video that went viral online. On Tuesday, North Carolina's Legislature passed a criminal justice package named after the victim to limit defendants' eligibility for bail and to encourage them to undergo mental health evaluations.

Behind the scenes at the annual gathering of world leaders at the United Nations, key countries and regional organizations have been coordinating efforts to try to end the horrific war in Sudan, which has created the most devastating humanitarian and displacement crisis in the world.

Alan Boswell, the International Crisis Group's project director for the Horn of Africa, said this year's high-level General Assembly meeting, which ends Monday, could be "make-or-break" for stopping the conflict.

Representatives from European countries with borders close to Russia and Ukraine are holding talks on Friday about building a "drone wall" to plug gaps in their defenses following several airspace violations.

Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland have been working on a drone wall project, but in March, the European Union's executive branch rejected a joint Estonia-Lithuania request for funds to set one up.

Intrusions into NATO's airspace blamed on Russia reached an unprecedented scale this month, raising questions about whether the Kremlin is trying to test the alliance's willingness and ability to respond to a direct attack or divert its attention and resources from the war in Ukraine.

Russia has been encroaching on its NATO neighbors' airspace for decades, then either denying it happened or brushing it off as unintentional. But since its 2022 invasion of Ukraine, such incursions have carried a bigger threat, none more so than when drones swarmed into Poland two weeks ago and caused NATO to scramble jets to shoot them down.

North Korea is believed to possess up to two tons of highly enriched uranium, South Korea's unification minister said Thursday.

"Intelligence agencies estimate Pyongyang's stockpile of highly enriched uranium – more than 90 percent pure – at up to 2,000 kilograms," South Korea's unification minister Chung Dong-young told reporters.
